View Full Version : Thaddeus Maharaj - 2008 Modeling Reel
chindian 08-09-2008, 03:02 AM This is my recently completed Modeling Reel for 2008. I was getting it ready for my trip to SIGGRAPH - I'm currently seeking employment as modeler in either film or games.
***Please forgive the bad animation! Haha... I'm a modeler, not an animator and it was hard getting someone else to animate it in the time I had to complete things... Hope it's not terrible.***

Very impressive work bro! I just love the elf and the fact that you managed to finish it up very quickly. You shouldn't have any problems finding a job with that reel in your hands :) I'm sorry I just don't have any crits for you.
Have fun in LA and good luck on the job hunt :)

thad,
the elf really shines here. especially with the animation. however, a wetness layer between the eye and his lids, as well as wetter spec on the lips/lids, would really knock it out of the park. but, that's just gravy.
congrats on the new reel,
