Animation Reel
Hi I just joined polycount and I am eager to be a part of this community! I'm looking for feedback on my animation reel, specifically for games but I am open to other crits as well. I'm looking for a job in the industry and I'd like to use the critiques I receive here to prepare my reel before I actually start applying.… -
Re: Animation Reel
no you have 2(3) animations in the reel that I'd want taken out. the blood stuff...not even gonna explain myself the aircraft taking off, has what to do with animation really?

I'm no animatior. It feels very pose to pose and that gives a mechanic effect and not organic. you need to offset the motions and make it more snappy.

Re: Animation Reel

I'd recommend making your site work in IE. WTF is "Please upgrade your browser to view this site. Thanks!" -
Re: Animation Reel
Thanks for all the input, guys! I made changes on a lot of things including the order of the reel, getting rid of the fight animation for now since it wasn't working so well, and (I believe) greatly improving the ninja girl animation. Here is the updated reel: http://www.tcsimpson.com/reel.htm I am also much more pleased… -
Re: Animation Reel
You're going to need re-evaluate your reel before sending it off to anybody. In particular, all the character animation needs to go strait back to the drawing board. In my opinion, the best thing you could do at the moment is take an animation like 1 guy punching another guy in the face, and keep making changes to it until…
