Hello my names Tom!

 

I wasn't sure where I should post my showreel so here it is:

I am currently studying a degree in 3D Digital Animation at Hertfordshire University ( uk ) I will be graduating this year!

Welcome to the forums Tom.

Nice show reel. I would do more of the fly-through and less of the composting stuff though.

Hi Aubrey

 

I am glad you said that because I am currently making a fly though of the Horta Museum http://www.hortamuseum.be/ for my final year project at university. I will be making a thread for that project soon

I would say keep the comp part in. I personally like our juniors to have nodal based experience and not just 3D heavy scenes.

But push it. Matte in the background , put greenscreen ppl .. make it look real.

 

good start on the render however a lot can be pushed in each scene. Becareful of just loading evermotion stuff in scenes. It really stands out.

I would put more specific emphasis on nicer buildings too .. example , a few exteriors to show your skill set doing exterior scenes. Push your interior scenes better. (learn to use HDRI's for lighting. That will give you a lot more realism in your work)

 

Good start though and good luck

Hi Fooch

 

I will remove the evermotion sofa when I edit the first scene, everything else is my own. I did originally have people in my showreel however the university lecturer's asked me to take them out, I can add those back in again. I am currently making the exterior of the Horta museum and rooms inside. I will also make an exterior that uses the matte painting and green screen people as you mentions before. Thank you for the advice
