Hey all,
I recently just started my third year on the show Supernaturalas 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.

ha, yeah I think they cut it half way through the shot in the show. Cut away the instant he was hit.
Wow amazing work… very brutal in most cases but very nice CG integration and amazing FX. I really like your reel. Thumbs up!
Cheers

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.
sweet dude,
i always watch the show and admire your work
honour to meet be chattin to u =)
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.
Cheers,
