Games Industry Mentor show

Summary: You've been asking for this episode, and it's finally here! Our first dive into the topic that keeps you up at night - your portfolio. This week I am joined with <a href="http://isaacoster.com/" target="_blank">Isaac Oster</a>, Environment Artist at BioWare, and Riki Babington, President of <a href="http://www.eat3d.com" target="_blank">Eat 3D</a>, which provides some great tutorials focused on game art &amp; the Unreal Engine. We discuss what to put in your portfolio, as well as what to leave out, common mistakes, presentation advice, and a lot more! This is our longest episode yet, with plenty of awesome info, so don't miss this one! We also mention a free portfolio template that you can download and use! Isaac was cool enough to put together a simple, no frills website that shows off your work well. To find that, just head over to <a href="http://isaacoster.com/" target="_blank">Isaac's portfolio site</a> and you can download the source files there! <a href="http://media.blubrry.com/gamesindustrymentor/gim.acanaday.com/episodes/gamesindustrymentor_007.mp3">Play Episode</a><a></a> If you have been enjoying these episodes and would like to support Games Industry Mentor, swing by the <a href="http://gim.acanaday.com/?page_id=19">donation page!</a> All funds go directly to site hosting and podcast equipment.
