Hello, this is the start of my project and demo reel. It is about Ned,(an old retired man going out to fish), and is set in the country side, where Ned meets a traveling sales man and buys a "magical worm" from what the guy said. So he continues on his way to the lake and startes to fish. Then there is a bunch of cut scenes that show the worm enticing the fish to bite. But there is one huge smart fish just watching. And at the end of the day ned takes the worm of the hook(fogeting that it is a magical worm) and throughts it in to the water. The huge smart fish then swims up and eats the worm. Cause he knew that Ned would throught the worm in at the end of the day, so he decided to wait.

This is just episode one, and there will hopefully be more. Here are some renders that I have taken. I am starting on the town that he will drive through in episodes to come along with #1. Please let me know what you think.

I am using Mental ray's Final Gather and one spot light to light this scene.

I really dont want to sound rude, but why are you using MentalRay to render previews of your scenarios? those renders can be done in scanline and once you´ve got the full eviorment textured and iluminated then you use Mental... or you´re using special shaders so you NEED to use IT for rendering???

I think you are in a very early stage for propper crits on this project..

Keep working :wip: :wip: :wip:

By the way you need to be very carefull with the scale of the things, that bench looks freaking HUGE, and also the garbage containter seems to be made of aluminum foil...

You NEED to give everything a LOT more details... Even youre intention is to give a cartoon feeling to your work you need to make everything believable, and functional.

:D

Gaaaaaaaaaaack that's a lot of shots of blue boxes-- is there something specific we're supposed to be looking for in the middle of all this? Maybe next time post fewer shots, and ask more specific questions... looks like a good start for whatever it is.... :curious:
