Title: Application for position of texture artist
Post by: Funkdude on January 03, 2008, 09:07:48 pm: Hi! I've always been a huge fan of the N64 goldeneye game and when i saw i might be able to join the team i decided to apply right away,

Ill make it short :)
My name is KÃ¤y Vriend (24, Netherlands), i live in Holland, next september ill be going back to school (game design) after serving 3 years in the army, my greatest hobby is making textures for indie-games and some mods, I've been texturing for almost a year now (i have the professional edition of Genetica 2.5) and all my textures come with a series of effect maps (normalmaps, specular maps, regular bumpmaps, even self-illumination is possible) ill let my images do the rest of the talking, (I've included a screenshot from another project i'm involved in)

(Terrain and scenery textures are my strongest qualities, i'm not yet into skinning, but if you request a texture i can always make it and then you guys can see if it fits the theme :) )

If someone could bump him to trial member for me. when someone has bumped your membership up you will be able to see a new forum, I will set a task for you to complete and if myself and the rest of the team are happy with your work we will bring you onboard.

My point in all the images was idd like to put many effects in textures (i can do reflection\refraction, baked shadows/lighting etc)
and i just like to make things look pretty ;)
