What's Better for a Portfolio?

[AndyJB]

Hey guys. I'm in my last semester of Uni and have around about 14-15 til the end and I have a major assignment to do what ever we want. Originally I was going to create a jungle environment with a river running through it with a few huts sitting in the river (like this http://www.canvasstorehouse.com/imag...er_1182517.jpg)

Creating the terrain is driving me insane and it's kinda ruined the idea for me so I'm thinking of either changing the idea or do a load of dioramas / props.

So what do you guys think would be better to show? Environment or a load of dioramas / props?

My tip would be doing a complete environment, even if its really small and focused. By doing an environment you get a lot of bang for your buck so to speak. Not only do you get to do a bunch of props, you get to do the lighting, particles and post-processing and presentation.

Just keep it small, and make sure you have enought time to finish it and polish it.

Cool, thanks for reply. Just found out an easier way of doing terrain so will give my idea one last try, hopefully it'll pan out I got about 14-15 weeks so I've got plenty of time

Make it small with a lot of details and visual interest. You don't need to make a HUGE environment. Recruiters expect from a junior to have high quality contents, when seniors may tends to have more quantity to show with their experiences.
