Hi CGSociety members,
My name is John from Brisbane Australia, currently 1/2 way through a diploma in VFX and animation at TAFE.
I have been reading all the great content in the main forums and decided to sign up as a CGmember so I could host some of my portfolio work and get critic from the more experienced members.
While new to the VFX and 3D industry, I’m not a total noob when it comes to design / art. Am a qualified ( yes I have a piece of paper! ) graphic designer and have been working as a web designer and SEO for a good 10 years.
I have taken time off work to study, so I could either join or start my own digital media agency or work in film. Its a long road ahead, but with my experience in working in the creative industry I hope to gain a small role after I finish my diploma.
I have just completed my first major assessment piece using Maya particles and dynamics with composition in Toxik.

I have also been running a journal / blog during my studies - please feel free to drop by and have a look around and say hi.

Anyway that was a really long intro, sorry about that. Hope to participate in the discussions in the forums.
Cheers
John
