I've been watching a lot of reels lately with contemplating what college to go to, possibly leaving the Art Institute to go somewhere else and I have to say that this reel was really refreshing. It was really a breath of fresh air to see a reel that wasn't just a series of turn-table animations showing wireframes of models. Placing your models in a well lit, well composed scene shows the studios and us other artists that you've got a true eye for composition, color and a great talent to create a "feeling" in a scene. And any modeler out there will tell you, especially set designers that it's all about creating a mood in your artwork and that shows very strongly throughout your models. I have to admit, I've seen this in a few VFS modeling reels already and I'm really impressed. Excellent work, and good luck with the job hunt! Keep us posted. :)

hey Kevin, it's nice to see your reel here finally! Everything looks great. You worked really hard, I'm proud of you :)

[daphneangela]

oh damn u did a mermaid too! ahahaha

[im_thelumberjack]

Some great environments and definitely a refreshing modeling reel. Might want to make the mermaid wire frame visible for a bit longer and easier to see since it only appears for a short time and is masked in a small area. Maybe place the wireframe over an ambient occlusion pass perhaps. Overall good work and good luck with the job search.

Hey Thanks for the comments guys,

Lumberjack - It's funny you mention that, that seems to be my biggest critique that people point out, and I really regret not doing a more detailed breakdown, even when I was at Siggraph this last year, a lot of film companies were requesting more detailed breakdowns, and I couldn't really do anything at the moment but I am DEFINITELY going to change it as soon as I can. And also have full detailed breakdowns in the future as well, thanks for stopping by.

-Kevin
