What is V-Ray?

I'm a mapper since UT99 and onwards,'ll leave pics for you on here.

I know the Unreal Editor backwards from the beginning. Including UT3/kismet etc

I don't know what V-Ray is though.

You need a mapper then respond on here and we can exchange Emails.





UT3 maps

My UT2K4 map:



EDIT: Matinee and such is fine for film stuff on UDK or no weapons etc, I can make U files and such for that.

It would be wonderful to actually make something rather than just releasing maps online so get in touch. I have been mapping since year dot.

Not just UDK but Half-Life originally and Qradient (Soldier of fortune Editor) and nowdays Frostbite 2 (CoD Black Ops um Need for Speed, The Run... Editor)

If you want a professional mapper with what you offered above, thought and fantasy etc then email [email protected]

You guys @ http://www.amiqus.com/ aren't very good at recruitment apparently... It is pretty standard when creating a help wanted ad to tell who people would be applying to and nowhere in your post did you do that.
I.E. What AAA video games developer exactly? Hmmm? Pertinent info here.

They usually don't actually, they don't post it online so that people can't apply direct and undercut them.

Amiqus aren't a particularly great agency though, you can usually find what they are advertising online without much hassle.

What is V-Ray?

I think they might want someone who can use Google.

Though I suppose it may not apply to all industries it is commonplace here to contract with a recruitment company and let them funnel and filter people entirely for you. So though perhaps not everywhere, it is quite standard here in Texas. It actually comes across as somewhat dishonest to do otherwise intentionally. Granted somebody in Texas is less likely to apply for a job in Europe then say...somebody in Europe. Albeit Austin and Dallas areas have multiple AAA studios, so there is certainly a talent pool to try and pull from.

 

[ambershee]

I get contacted by recruiters on a more-than-weekly basis - the majority of the time they are just throwing shit at studio advertised openings and hoping something sticks. Many of them are so lazy that they copy and paste the original job description in their own advert.

There are almost no games industry recruiters worth talking to, and in some cases studios won't even entertain applications coming through recruiters anyway - so you'd be shooting yourself in the foot.
