2009 Modeling Reel by Javier Edo (contains nudity)

ZBrush Artworks
#1

Hi guys! first post around here, I have been “secretly” visiting the forums for quite a long time, but I have never written a “real” post yet :slight_smile:
I have learned a lot from the amazing artists around here and I wanted to show it to see what do you guys think of it, since I am expecting to do probably a second cut fixing all your critiques. When I look a it, some models might still need a little bit more work, but I had to say stop at some point, and this is the moment i guess…

I have recently graduated from college with a B.Eng in Computer Science, and I’m currently looking for work as Modeler or TD/SW Engineer, even though I would prefer to work as a modeler if I have the opportunity. ^^

PS: I would like to say thanks to the Pixologic team for this amazing tool, without ZBrush I would have never been able to do this. And more importantly Big, HUGE thanks for GoZ on ZBrush 3.2, it has already saved my ass a couple times during the creation of this reel ^^ can’t wait to try out 3.5!

PS2: music, Slide Five - Streamline.

Some images: (I will post some more as soon as I can)

#7

Good job! Nice clay renders! :+1:

#8

Great work! Keep rocking!
Best regards, Selwy

ps: I miss a screenshot of the female figure here on zbrush central - she is really well made… :slight_smile:

Cool stuff, I’m impressed that you can sculpt this well and program in C++ at your age, that’s quite an achievement.
Most people focus on one or the other but you seem to be covering both fairly well :slight_smile:

Are you looking for a job in the film or games industry?

#10

Nice models, very clean and realistic. It is really amazing that you can also do C++ coding effectively. You are defiantly very talented.:+1:

#11

you have a really solid portfolio to get a job and I’m sure your technical knowledge will be a great asset. Personally I’d throw the gorilla head out of the reel - it feels rather week in comparison to the other stuff… and perhaps taking one of your male characters and putting some clothes on him might help as there’s a lot of jobs which require modeling a lot of clothing and you’ve showed with one that you can do anatomy already

Best of luck :+1:

#12

Wow, thanks guys! sorry for my late replies, I have been out of home since I posted.
Sorry for the long post, I think that I didn’t had left anyone… :S

WoOne, thanks!
adampof, thanks!
Santis, thanks!
d_lavega, thanks man!
michalis, thanks, glad you liked it
O/MI, thanks!
selwy, hey man! how is it going? can’t wait to see some more stuff from you! As I am writing this I am editing the first post to try to include some female screenshots, I did not post it at the beginning because I wanted to change the “pose” of the hands, to make them look a little bit more relaxed than before, at least on the screencaps… :wink:

MoP, thanks! glad you liked both of my reels, the thing is that one of them (sculpting and 3d in general) is what I like, the other one (programming) is what I studied (which btw I don’t like that much). Unfortunately in Spain as of right now there is no such thing as an official degree in Computer Graphics, that means that you can either study Fine Arts or Computer Engineering, not a mixture of both, which is pretty sad, another problem that Spain has is that there is no such Major/Minor thing, you can’t choose them… that means that if you study A your major will be A and your minor will be B, its not possible to do your minor in Z, but you can still take classes in whatever you want from any different degree, its just that these classes will not appear anywhere in the official stuff. (don’t know if this is understandable at all)

About your other question, yes I am lookin for work on the films or games industry we’ll see how it turns out but I could say that the reel would be more focused in animation/cinematics/VFX because none of the models is textured and normally in games they will expect to see some textures… Even though ultimately I am going to texture them.

Stephenrminkin, thanks a lot, glad you liked my other reel too :wink:

Intervain, hey! thanks! (I love your works! btw ^^) You are right about the gorilla, maybe I should have spent a little more time working on it, I included it because I wanted to include something non-human, and as I was unable to decide what kind of freaky demon I should model, I ended doing this kong bust, which btw if we think about the evolution, it sould be counted still as a human or almost-human kind of thing… :S

About the clothes thing, yes you are absolutely right, I should do some guy wearing clothes, I am planning to do a cinematic style character as soon as I finish some things I had left before starting the reel, and hopefully try to texture him also :wink:

Neosaga, thanks man!
vkarts, thanks!
pankaj.zb, thanks, glad you liked the models, I think that I downloaded the material from the old tweak forums, it was on a material pack by Adam Lewis I think that someone also posted them here at ZBC the name of the material is “z3”, the image also has some slight simple postwork, but that’s the material. If you don’t find them contact me and I will send them to you :wink:

Ichiban, thanks, I am posting some screencaps of the girl on the first post :wink:

leonardo_in, sure, like I just said to pankaj.zb you will find the material in Adam Lewis ZB Materials pack, the material name is “z3” check them out. Be sure to check out also “z7” its really cool also :wink: If you don’t find them here on ZBC contact me and I will send them to you too.
