[Agent D]

ALL RIGHT! Congratulations on getting it finished! That must have been a TON of rendering time, especially on the Ent! :beer: Looks great.

Any chance of rendering a 1600x1200 resolution version? :D

[JasonA]

those are some great looking models:) nice job, (cool music too).

:thumbsup:

[Joril]

Hey, congrats King!! Looks really good, I didn't see the Egyptian model before, it all looks very cool!

[Digital Backlot]

Nice work!

The models look tight!:beer:

[ceql]

Great work, Mr. Mob! :applause: :beer:

[Adam]

Great reel simply yet efective to show off your modeling and texturing skills. Stright forward and to the point... Also Wonderful music choice. I also have a fragile song for my demo

[bentllama]

congrats on getting your reel done.

may the women flock to you. ;)

[Stonepilot]

Very cool. The one thing that I might get your reel pulled and toss is the music. It might be a bit to loud for some of the people looking at it. And I would hate to see that. You have a solid reel. Good luck keep us updated. Are you in California by any chance.

[BlueCougar]

Looking Awesome Ian,
You got the crastination bug beat finally. It still has me in its grips, hopefully I'll break free of it one day...:D

[Soeren Nielsen]

mobbie remember Im your girl, no digging for any other ;)
love it

[mjm]

I downloaded this with the expectation of seeing a drunk Floridian run around and act out scenes from Evil Dead, with zombie parts played by Pixar plush dolls. Instead I saw a big purple guy with a loin cloth.

Good work. :)

[RockinAkin]

Great work as always Ian.

Your reel shows a lot of solid work displayed in a VERY sleek composition.
It would be cool if you showed just a bit of animation or something, like a simple walk cycle for the Rock Ent.

Good luck out there in the job market.

[ThirdEye]

Really nice work, congrats my friend :thumbsup:

[SheepFactory]

awesome reel man :buttrock:

[DogBreath]

Hey Kingmob - I like the presentation of your reel and the soundtrack. So the comment about it being to loud is probably a good bit of advice.

If you could put a bit of animatin in there it would lift it alot. Are you looking for a job doing just modeling and textureing or are you interested in doing animating as well.

I like the demon u did, have'nt seen that before, I'd like to see him animated and angry.

[dmcgrath]

I don't know if you'll ever see this post but here goes.

I think your work is fantastic. Your renders look good and models/textures are pretty clean.

But you need movement, dude. You have to show those models bending and stretching, etc.

you don't have to be a champion rigger/animator, but you have to show some movement in there.


That being said, congrats.

[ambient-whisper]

he made that reel really quickly... he got a heads up on an upcomming job and had to have a reel done within a few days so there was no time to rig and animate.. just attach to null spin.. render.. comp.. and let it out the door.

[ppself]

awesome:buttrock:

[Joe Magnum]

That's some Kick ass stuff man.

Good luck.

[butchoi]

Kickass!

:buttrock:

[lildragon]

It only took a good few months of nagging to get your reel done and out the door man, and you didn't think you had enough content pfff :rolleyes:

Good luck out there man.

-lild

[Strang]

that right there is hiring material...

I would hire you...

keep it up

-Strang

[swag]

damn nice style - :applause:

[KingMob]

Wow, thanks for the reply's guys...

About the music, on the VHS i sent it doesnt seem so loud..maybe speakers are to cranked? or mine are to down, regardless, its something to keep in mind.

I agree, I wish they were dancing around to, but some are as of yet unfinished, the Demon is being rigged by a friend of minee (hi mike) and animated by another friend hopefully.

Right now my interest is mostly in modeling, and in deforming meshes correctly, next time ill show more motion as I go, as Martin, said, I really just didnt have time on this one.(hope its not to horrible)

I'm beat tho, thanks for all the support once again!
:beer:

[???]

Very nice models.

[erilaz]

About freakin' time KingMob!:beer:

I'll let you know what I think when I've finished downloading it (damn dialup).

Urg! Your mirror is slow!:p

[Agent D]

The volume didn't seem at all off to me, and I would hope that any prospective employers would know how to use a volume control. ;)

^ I downloaded it from Urg's mirror in about 11 seconds earlier today... :p

[ACFred]

Smooth, Ian. I knew you'd get it done. I dig those models. I think Egyptian man is my favorite, but that whole mythos appeals to me.

Good presentation.

Good luck!

Alec

[Kinematics]

Darn sweet mate! darn sweet. Love the style...plain simple and professional especially the background which works out extremely well. Oh the music...done get me started :beer: :beer:
Great inspiration for me to begin working on something new

[leigh]

:thumbsup:

[Yoshua]

Great Work!

I'd had not come across all of them characters before. I must say great modelling and texturing. Also very well presented. :thumbsup:

Thanks

[orozimbo]

Great work KingMob! I´m also looking for a job and a really wish you the best! But, honestly, I don´t think you need luck. You have talent.

Inté,
Guilherme Lopes

[Laa-Yosh]

Very nice stuff - good luck with that job! And could we get some stills to view your works without compression? :)

( PS: I've got a character in the works that's unfortunately quite similar to one of yours... hopefully people will believe me that I've been doing it before seeing yours ;)

[KingMob]

hey laa-yoosh,

Thanks for the kind words, how could I say no to some "uncompressed" pics

here we go

http://ian.gravityfree.com/egyptianss.jpg
http://ian.gravityfree.com/kittySS.jpg


unless you want me to show the sketches, ill just leave it at that for now.

BTW: is this new character online anywhere? I am a big fan of your work and would love to see him.

(oh and thanks to everyone else for posting to ...much love!)

[southern]

work is on its way. Very cool sound attatched there. I like the dark moody background on this reel, very slick.

Glen

[Strang]

hey King....

you work with maya right?

excellent work btw...

-Strang

[koroko]

Well, kudos to you Kingmob, in no time and with "maya" you got great characters and got to be one of my character modelling references....

I wish you the best on the jobquest...

I´ll refreain of critizicing the reel other than saying you have a very good taste for designing it, all the non-3d elements of it are really well put together, i hope to get half of your succces with mine...


Regards,

[PhilOsirus]

King! They're great! I love the demon one, had never seen it. You make me wanna change my mind and keep on doing 3D instead of going in the printing business:D

[Virtuoso]

Quite the smooth reel KingMob.Your talent will open up all the doors to your dreams soon enough.Modeling,textures are all very well done to go with a very nice presenation that showcases your work in very nice form.:thumbsup:

My only suggestions would be to add even more of your fine work,possibly a scene or set piece,another character or two//////Perhaps if you are interested a vessel or architecture set piece,just to add diversity.

But in any regard what you do have shows "Pro" level work and deserves recognition as such.I would wish you luck,but you don't need it.....................you already have talent,that's all you'll need.Very nice work........:thumbsup: :beer:

[F. Hultqvist]

Hey there KingMob, congrats on the well done reel. Your models are all fantastic! I really like the rock-giant.

Good luck with your job search.

wish you the best :cheers:

[facial]

[Viper.dk]

I'm still mad at you, Ian, for not telling me about this.

However: :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

[visualboo]

DAMNIT... I missed the "official launch" :D

You know I love your work Ian and I wish you all the best.

c ya bud

[rAndall]

Great work King_Mob. I'm glad to finally see a reel. The models rock. Especially... the one that looks like a rock. Yea, thats cool. I'm sick... :drool:

[coolhillstone]

amazing work!

wonderful.

[LIMBAUL_ABIGGOR]

nice reel i am sure u well find a job, are you going to animate any of these guys, or get some one to?:wavey:

[IanBrightNZ]

This is great work indeed. Freakin' awesome.

Just some notes for making a modelling demo reel. A prospective employer is probably going to want to see close ups of your wireframe of vital areas of your mesh such as shoulders, pelvis, elbows and knees, to see how well you understand how to model a character to be rigged. Also some close ups of the faces wouldn't hurt, both textured and wireframed.

Learning rigging in all it's complexity will help you to understand the requirements of a model, because a beautiful model can fall apart if there is not enough detail or too much detail in vital areas. And seeing as how in a large production environment your model will be sent off to someone else to rig it pays to have experience of their challenges.

And one of the biggest things an employer might want to know is how quickly you can churn this high quality out. So a thing that states time taken for each phase (modelling, texturing) would probably go down a treat.

Please forgive me if you know all this already (you most likely do :) ) but I figured I should state it just in case.

You'll get hired, no worries.

Ian
