Yeah, I agree, alot of the time it did'nt really make sense.. like how the hell did the main badguy get away so quick? The main character jumps into the water, to stop a 'antimatter'(??) bomb from going off, then the antagonist dissappears..

Use Spirit of HL mod then make a invisible brush as a func_train... then use the 'move with' function. (only available with 'Spirit of HL' mod)

oh but that will just cause the bird to fly straight... in that case;

use a 'func_target' to move with the train, place it in front of the model birds, and have the birds continuesly look at it...

Haven't modded HL in awhile, so yeah.. should be plausible

I thought id have to create assets, but a whole exterior level!? Whats it for? Is it for HL2.. because I can do stuff like model the pipes/billboards etc, but I wont be able to do a whole level.. I got enough on my plate as it is, but things like the animated door and whatnot I could do... that being said, how exactly do you want the door to open?

it all depends on the request actually.. right now Im busy getting portfolio work together, and also we have our 3rd milestone due on monday, so depending on the item needed it may be quick, or not..so yeah, tell me your request, and poly limits, also let me know if quads are fine... if its for hl1 I'll have to triangulate it. but its not a solid answer yet, tell me what you need, if I have/find the time to do it, I'll let ya know..

and yeah jeffmod, I can texture, I can animate farely decently, but in the industry the theirs proffesional riggers who do that so you dont focus around animating to much :P

Man I've been waiting forever for the new G10 cards to come out, and the Nvidia GTX 480 is only $700 (roughly)

This card and the 470 are the first to be realeased by Nvidia that can run with DirectX 11... which all of you should know, that this means
TESSALLATION!

And for those of you who don't know what that means, I'm so full of
excitement that I posted a video on youtube about this--->

in Portfolio Website - Help / Crit Post #280120
First of all, you want to make a layout that is unique, one that will capture the employer.. dont just copy it, the emploer will be like, "ah seen that shit before, click, close"

Habboi, the dropshadows got to be changed.. if an employer looked at that, he'd be like, "wow, photoshop filters are used everywhere, looks like a 2 minute job, I could even do it!"

you can use the drop shadow, Im just saying, make it face something else other that 30 degrees, and change the opacity and color at least.

Over all the layout is looking very good.. I like it.

Also your title

"Environment Modeller"

Seeing as everything is modelled you kinda narrowed it down too much, instead try to change it to "Level Designer" yeah like I said environment modeller sounds to broad..

Edit;
Another thing, try to refrain from posting levels of HL2 that you've made unless your applying at Valve only. The main thing employers look at is something you created, and something new, so just pulling textures off google and editing them don't count, instead depending on the art style used, go out and snap your own pictures to edit, or paint them in photoshop. :P

Edit;
Good example;
