Thanks for the link. I never heard of Flade before. I will definitely. There's a 2-D example similar to the Flade examples in the Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Game Development book. However, I can't figure out how to add dimension to these examples. The game I'm working on is a 3D game, very similar

As with any portfolio, the most important thing is to highlight the type of work you think the jobs/employers you're looking at want to see. Presentation is secondary to the content... let your work speak for itself and the presentation act as the easiest way to soak in all that talent :) If you'r
