Hey Guys!!
First ever post of work on CGTALK. I'm a 22 year old who just graduated from Interdec College. I've never had previous experience in CG or 3d animation before this year. I would like to concentrate on character animation and would love to take my animation further. I'm thinking of hooking up with animation mentor cause I truly believe that the animations that their students produce are pure nutsizoids! (i had to invent a word). Anyways, this is my reel. Critique to your hearts delight. Thanks in advance,
Anthony

Very dark, but amusing.

If I were a Hogan rig, I would want to bleed red gumballs too.

I love the frisbee shot at the beggining; with some massaging, that could be a great clip!


very unique reel!

Hey SMWilly
Thanks for the reply.
I was going for the cheesy blood effect. I didn't want to waste too much rendering time a perfect fluid simulation.
I'll definately work more on the frisbee shot.
Thanks alot.

Entertaining. I liked the chainsaw guy. Good sequence. And the discus is good too (work on arcs tho).
In terms of animation, I think you need to work on arcs and weight mostly. The chainsaw for example should have some heft, and falling bodies and body parts should too. The lowpoly guy at the end doesnt really count as a weight exercise because he doesnt actually lift it. The living bodies tend to look somewhat like marionettes... part of that is some annoying IK snaps you have in there, and part is planning out some pleasing arcs to follow.
Pretty good for just outta school.

Thanks for the reply, glad you liked it. Overall I guess the moral of the story is I gotta work on my arcs.

Once again, thanks for the helpful replies.
They're greatly appreciated.
