No Worries Wethand
Sorry if any of my comments seemed a little harsh, thats one thing I dont like about forums, things looks harsh when they aren’t meant to come across that way.
I’ll watch through the showreel again and type whilst watching it
Your opening title screen is good, the writing is clear, and 7 seconds is a good time, but you have no contact details on their such as website or email address
Then at 8 seconds is a picture of the dude you have modelled you need to mention that and also that the pic is a photo used for reference and not a concept you have done
the rotation speed of the first character is okay and the transition to the wireframe is good
Then you have the character topless, so the torso clothing is separate to the body, that is very bad practice for a games character and employers will not like that, its perfectly fine for a high poly zbrush render though
Its good that you display the poly/tri count and that it’s a realtime render, (you spelt it wrong though :S)
It’s then good that you showed the character in UDK rigged and tested with the UT3 male skeleton as that shows a good skill
1 min 36 seconds is far to long just for one character :S
The next character’s title screen is good but missing vital information such as poly/tri count, texture maps, and the different software that was used in the making of the character ( this applies to all your characters )
It would be good to show the guy with the axe posed like his is about to slash something
when we get to the 3D illustrations with your applying for a jjob as a character artist then dont put the 3D illustrations in the showreel as they are irrelevant and employers don’t see to see it
The 3 characters should be displayed for an equal amount of time at the minute they are not
Always show your best piece of work first and last, put the not so good in the middle
Your turntables need more work as they are just too plain
Render the turntables in Marmoset and then show the UDK skeleton thingy
It’s also good to show the zbrush sculpt also
The music need’s to change, employers will not like it
Also through the showreel you should have contact details on every clip
Your ending title page is good that info needs to be at the front ( mentioned above) and you state your a character artist yet you’ve put 3d illustrations in your showreel best to just put the 3d illustration on your website and not in the showreel
and remember showreel maximum time of 2 mins 30 secs
follow all that and you’ll have yourself a good showreel
Blooming hell that’s the longest comment I have ever written
