Hi, I am a recent graduate and this is the reel I did during my study.

I would love to get some critiques.

Great character work, very beautiful, I skipped the first part to get to the character, personally I would've had that first in the reel. Also some texture sheets would be useful for recruiters. Not too keen on the VFS reel format with the credits, I skipped that too ^^

Lovely work, beautiful character and environment.

Looks great. It would have been nice to see the character in the scene; maybe sitting in the chair by the fire and drinking tea or something.

Tenchi, I will edit another version for my site for sure. Thanks.

the charakter looks realy nice man, but you need to put more attention to the environment lighting and textures that you are showing:) good job so far m8

This is some top notch work for someone just out of school! Fantastic stuff actually, congratulations.

Great stuff, some really great modelling and texturing here. Only criticism I can find is that the hair seems a little flat in the stills; virtually no specularity. In the video also, the highlights run vertical, when hair usually has horizontal highlights (due to strand direction).

Daelus, I totally agree. Hope to do a better job on the hair next time.

Thanks [HP} and Lupi.

Another great piece coming from Vancouver Film School.

Some critics to help.
You'll need to put some texture sheets and wireframes(screenshots).
I also think you used a white specular for the skin of the character? It might reflect more realistic if you use the inverse color of the diffuse (which mean, blue). In case, white specular will have a little over saturation. If you use the inverse color as the diffuse, it will reflect white. Don't remember where I found a tutorial on that but this might help : http://pioroberson.com/tuts/tut_texturing_tricks.htm

Anyways, good luck!

No problem. Are you aiming for gaming or film industry?

chunchunyang · Oct 2011

If life is perfect, which it always is, I would be working in no.1 game cinematic, no.2 film, no.3 game...:D
