Hey all,

I recently just started my third year on the show `Supernatural`as a 3d artist. As such I have updated a demo reel for 2009. This is my first time posting a reel on CG Talk so please any comments and critques, feel free to share them. You can also download a breakdown(pdf) sheet from my website.

Thanks a lot! Definitely tough working in a tv environment for these kind of shots. Deadlines are so tight, sometimes its painful to just let the shots go as they are. haha

Hey Shaun,

I know it's hard to let shots go given the short schedule at Supernatural but i think your reel looks very polished. Your shots look great!

I'm especially digging that face morph concept at the end of your reel.

Holy crap dude, I love it! Lot's of tricky stuff in there. Animating ropes can be a huge pain in the ass, how did you do it? Spline IK? wires? How much of the smoke was fumeFX and how much was Maya fluids? Ah... I miss that show.

Thanks a lot Mike, appreciate the comments.

Yeah the rope was a huge pain. Spline Ik worked really well for this. The noose was a seperate piece parented onto the first bone in the chain with its own set of bones to give it more specific movements. I also used nCloth for the "hanging" part of the noose when necessary.

About half the shots were fumeFX and half were maya fluids. FumeFx smoke has a lot more detail in it. You can see what shots were Fume in my breakdown sheet.
