"That's DAMN good ale! It will get you messed up!" Nice copy-paste from a dictionnary... You know, I have one in case I'm unable to understand something... and I know that sometimes it's not enough... but please, don't consider me as a idiot please...
.. to mention I was just joking... (note for those who were able to think I was serious ;)...)
EPIC has a load of job positions open at the moment:
* Concept Artist * FX Artist * High-Res Modeler * Level Designers * Motion Graphics * Graphic Designer * Programmers * Texture Artist * 3d Texture and Environments Graphics Artist * Lead Artist/Graphics Designer See http://www.epicgames.com/epic_jobs.html Why can't they split their graphic design shit into print and game seperately? As if I know 3DS max or Flash.

Raven Software is looking for 2 experienced level designers to create and implement levels for an exciting, currently unannounced title! Responsibilities: � Create, organize, and implement layouts and walkthroughs for all levels (puzzles, enemy placement, etc.) � Analyze and debug levels as necessary � Work in a team environment to critique and provide input on other levels � This position reports directly to the Design Lead Qualifications: � Experienced in level design and implementation for console (Xbox, PS2) and PC platforms. � Experience with 3D Studio Max � Exceptional organizational and problem solving skills Anyone who can show some a good competence for gameplay, a few decent maps to show off, some level of scripting/programming knowledge and a decent attitude could easily do this job. If you've got a couple of the following; some good Quake3 maps (or even some awesome Q1/Q2 SP maps), something of a decent D3/HL2 sp map, any experiance with 3d Max/other 3d packages, willingness to move to Madison, WI... you've probabally got a shot at this. I have decided to stop hoarding all the unreleased stuff on my computer and put it towards something, and am thinking of applying at a local company which has been advertising for a while.
I might not have as good a portfolio to show off as lots of other people around here, but I figure I may as well give it a shot because I lose nothing by trying. So that said, what do people normally send with applications? A cover letter, a CV (probably a link to one online) as well as a link to your online portfolio which contains brief descriptions, screenshots, and download links.
Trondm3 please. Thanks RPG. Trondm3 is just about finished on the harddrive, feel bad since we had that deal and all but I am focusing all my energies on building stuff in d3 at the moment to add to portfolio, only breaking for that for speedmapping to relax.
This is probably sort of obvious, but be sure to highlight your best most-recent-engine stuff first in your portfolio, for those with short attention spans who might be looking at it. I've seen some portfolios that are structured temporally and contain everything in the cupboard, which is a bad idea.
And if you're making D3 engine stuff, pull your damn light centers out. [/pet peeve] I once built a d3 map and didn't pull out the centers and it came to life and killed pjw's family and raped his mother.
Please don't forget kids, it's no joke, light centers are there to be poked. what pjw said. don't send everything and the kitchen sink. three really good maps, or even parts of maps, in different styles, to show your versatility.
I'd probably chop it just above Cube, and link to the other stuff.
You also might consider reorganizing a bit to highlight the fact that you can do texture work and code-ish stuff as well as typical level design. That sort of jack-of-all-trades quality is valuable since you're less dependent on others' skills dictating your workflow...maybe just say something explicit about it at the beginning (or, if nothing else, make it obvious in your cover letter). Thanks for the feedback. Actually, it's obvious in my resume itself. The portfolio is level-design centric becuase that's the kind of position I'd been applying for.
