Hello,
This is my portfolio site I created as I graduated three moths ago:
http://dmi3animation.com/
I was pretty happy with it, but then I was advised to post it here to get more constructive criticism, which, to be honest, I had very little before.
Please leave some critiques on both content and web site itself.

And yes, I also looking for a job, so feel free to contact me if you could use my skills.

Thanks.

    Your website doesn't seem to be working for me.

    I liked your reel, really solid work. But one thing i really hate is coming to a site and automaticly be thrown with a video in my face. Why not a simple Vimeo instead of that autoplaying stuff?

    Also whenever im refreshing it starts playing, wich is really annoying.

    Seems to load and display just fine for me in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and IE.

    I'm not an animator myself but I think that is a nice demo reel! You have a good, simple layout. The virtual gallery is a neat idea, I though of doing that myself, but when I played it I had some problems moving around. WASD was working but I only manage to get it to track my mouse to look around one time, and ended up staring at the floor.

    What I did see of the gallery though, you should have a few more pieces in there. Maybe instead of bringing the model and animation directly in, can you import the video clips and have them "projected" on the wall?

    Jalcober, where are you located? I'll need to contact support to see why it doesn't work for in your location.

    @ Visceral, actually making it play automatically that's what my instructor advised, saying the less steps people need to do to see my reel the better, but I agree with your point, it's easy to change. Thanks

    I could use more thoughts on main page: is it better to have auto play on or off? Thanks

    @ johnicus, I thought about making projected animations, but I'll have to buy full version of Unity to use animated textures, which I can't afford right now. Also, I'm working on new materials to be added, I know, it's very empty right now. Thanks
