Welcome

Modus Ingenium specializes in rating/grading artistic talent. We do this on two scales, each one from 1 to 20 points. The first being the Creative Merit (a), and the second is the Technical Merit (b), both of which are vitally important to accurately represent the current skill level of each talent. So the numbers you see, for example, 9/5 is the Creative score/Technical score.

The assigned grade is based on the talent’s complete portfolio submittal (20 images/videos total), and not on a single portion of it.

Note - 0/0 grade means that the talent has not yet been graded.

Note - 3/3 grade is in most cases considered the minimum requirement for a entry level/junior position in his/her field.

There is no comparison between disciplines when it comes to the score, so you cannot compare a score from one discipline to another.

Also in some disciplines, such as ARTIST, there are sub disciplines, catering to games, film, and others, which means that the score is even more focused on a specific skill set.

The grading steps are not linear, for instance, a jump from 14 to 17 represent a  bigger jump in skill level than from 4 to 7.

What does the score represent?

1/1 - You can turn on your computer and start the software

10/10 - You are accomplished, prolific, and quite proficient in your field.

19/19 - You are at the top of your field, and for example, if you were a concept artist, you would be on the same level as Syd Mead, Ralph McQuarrie or Ryan Church.

20/20 - Legendary and timeless
