[thisischrishenson]

intense



[Mast3rTs1f]

Great job man!

[NYFL2156]

Fantastic work but please slow the camera motion so the details can be further appreciated..

[The3DFreak3D]

With a selfmade song it will be fantastic!!!

[trapicej]

Hodně povedená práce, teprve začínám a hledám "motivační" videa. Snad to taky jednou někam dotáhnu :)

[ASESINOdEMOS]

(oO!)!!!!

[KilleroyCZ]

moc pekny, poklona

[loverollin]

awesome wrk...n awesome song...



[dangraphic]

Truly fantastic work! Video could be a bit slower to take in all the details though. ;)

[v0jt1s3k]

Hi guys, many thanks for your replies, I'm very happy that after long time you're still finding my work good. Now I'm working in something else, and this time it will be textured I hope ;)

[VoidStyleTV]

Incredible amount of details

[hadron89]

Nice work but some polycounts are out of control!

[Recessionist]

Is the LOKI inspired by the Bandit from Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within?

[martinezfg111]

The ACOG scope on the top rifle is backwards.... Just thought I would let you know.

[sephdl]

awesome modeling!

[williamjamesdawson]

what did you use to make the car at the start

[sekc1man]

Im looking for a 3D animation artist for a fitness website. Im paying hourly contact me or leave contact info to get started !

[hadron89]

Its great work, but really high polycounts. This is more for VFX than games I presume?

[SpaceArtz]

I like the raptor ! My favorite one !!!

[zxcv1175]

amazubg work

[dx31979]

Beatiful stuff! What was really impressive was your first two models - after that were so-so models -- but that's how a demoreel should be , put your absolute best up front and weaker toward the end. (And your armored car was very reminiscent of the Tumbler :)

[TheUnknownArcher13]

great models, im learning 3d moddeling, and i was wondering if you have any pointers?

[TheMrNomus]

AWesome but ACOG on M4 placed in the wrong direction :)

[leoviale19]

Superb work, supergay song.

[aytches]

Why do you use geometry for the tiny things like the Sony Ericsson logo on the back of the phone when that was probably a pain in the butt and you could just do a normal map?

[enger123]

either no music or a different song PLEASE!!! beutiful model, render and coluor grading though

[Orion22deblanc]

all ur scopes are backwards lols

[leelala011]

how long did it take

[ttoonnyy1]

very good work, far better than anything on my reel, but what i dont understand as a modeler is why your meshes look so strange.. like the back of that phone, the meshes extend from the Sony Ericsson writing into handle shapes within other quads creating ngons rather than splitting off to the corners.. (2:22)

Is this really acceptable to an employer?? it's like you deliberately kept all edges at 90 degrees to each other, is there a reason?

[ttoonnyy1]

or is that the result of baking normals to geometry? (something ive not tried yet)

[xXSythenXx]

What's the polycount of the Loki?

[v0jt1s3k]

@xXSythenXx : Hi, I`m not sure, it`s a ages ago :), but what I remember it was about 3,5mil without smooth

[caveman357]

i like it, i just feel like the close up shots were waay too fast, slow it down. im trying to take in all the intricate details. good work though!

[v0jt1s3k]

@caveman357: Thanks. I know it`s bad :(. But this was my first video ever and I didn`t know nothing about video editing etc ;)

[hoze187]

@v0jt1s3k  just a tab bit dark as well

[kraveN911]

Really really nice work.

But one thing I would like to point out for your future reels. Focus more on some certain details you're happy about. And slow the camera movements down. Focus more on plain turntables animation and maybe some stills on details. Also work on your lighting and backgrounds. Will really help to make the model "pop" out in the presentation. But overall a really nice job you did there :)

[v0jt1s3k]

@kraveN911 : Thanks :). I know, as a reel it`s poor quality. I didn`t know anything about video editing. But I believe I learned something and I was slaped for mistakes :)

[hydroblast9]

@v0jt1s3k it was a good idea that you post this video. people have there opinions that will help you. the best way to get better in the future. hoping to see more cool stuff. peace out

[Dommcallister]

lies..................D: im still learning its going to take me years to get this good

[joeylokeCY]

such a neat topology, all quad?. did you smooth your model or make all the edges normal 0 before rendering? did you fully work in Maya? Gosh your work is so so impressive. really love it!

[v0jt1s3k]

@joeylokeCY: Hi, thanks a lot! Yes, everything is quad geo, it was pain in the ass, but I tried to do it production ready - for correct erendering etc

[sacredgeometry]

For future reference could you please include poly/face counts in the breakdowns? Loving the models I would love some stats on them :)

[EternityFX]

Jealousy' hurts.

[Kbdhunter1]

Are you self-taught?

[Toujane1993]

Good job man!

[HANGER187]

I like the art work but I fucking HATE this SONG!

[v0jt1s3k]

@HANGER187 Sorry, but this was only "free"music YouTube is offering :)

[usmceflips]

@HANGER187 people dont realise that its wmgs fault dickface

[HANGER187]

@usmceflips Think outside the box dick face...wmgs sure blame them for you lack of creativity. U'd find I am on your side until shit came out your mouth.

[usmceflips]

@HANGER187 YEAH BUT IF YOU TUBE DIDNT LISTEN TO WMG THERE WOULD BE NO YOU TUBE SO YOU WOULDNT BE SITTIN WITH YOUR FAT ASS AND WATCHIN VIDEOS BECAUSE THAT S WHAT LAW SAYS

[HANGER187]

@usmceflips Now you are just naked, running backwards in a corn field. New laws happen daily, its not about LAW and Protection...its about MONEY. Youtube didnt always have WMG. U r finding reason to argue. No one gives a shit what you think....literally. 

[usmceflips]

@HANGER187 you could type wmg sucks in search bar you will see who gives a shit

[dangraphic]

@HANGER187 APPLAUSE

[6daylater]

this is ridiculous

[alexeqifi]

отлично

[3DMotionArtist]

Great job. Very impressed. Do you do this for a living?

[directorlog]

Nice models. keep it up, would be good with some of them at textures/ good work

[TomasRydval]

Nice.

[LoginusPL]

Good models, but the reel itself is very unprofessional.

Evanescence music for one. The camera is too dynamic, its hard to see what you really did because I will get a severe headache before I notice any details (that's especially about the first model you've shown).

Wouldn't it be easier to use normal map for that phone rather than making the geometry so complex? And as someone mentioned, the scopes are inverted :P

IMHO very good work overall, but poorly presented.

[101abhishek1]

hi did u use any normal map in the modeling ,

[101abhishek1]

hi did u use any normal map in the modeling , and u use any refrence for that robot modeling or u thought of that n draw

[sweetsnakeGER]

M16 scope looks into the wrong direction!

[bluetounge]

all i can say is... your PC must be a beast!

[Toca91]

How much time did you spent making suit man? That's amazing... 100x amazing!

[altstorm]

hi, how did u manage to show the wireframe in render??

[15Protech]

That is some awsome PolyModeling right there man, espessialy the two first, the guns.. wherent all that inpressive, but you shuld learn Sub-Division modeling, it would make you a perfect Hard Surface modler

[DubezOniner]

dude that is some really cool shit man. so how long did it take you to finish those models??

[v0jt1s3k]

@DubezOniner Hi, thanks a lot. For example, the car took about half a year, I did it after work on evenings, so not much time for this :)

[edson333]

@v0jt1s3k dude if you dont do this for living u must be wrong, you have great skills

[filipp3d]

мало кадров в секунду !!! нахрен так беспонтово рендерить все дрожжит!

[nameno1elsehas]

these look beautiful. I just have a question. You said you were self taught so I was just wondering if going to a college or being self taught effect finding a job in this industry. Do you know?

[aikiuke]

Nice stuff! the first two would look awesome animated, I'd look into getting a good animator working on them if I were you.

[serafinobp]

Nice! but both t he ACOG and red dot sights are on backwards

[felixj31301988]

Very impressive job.

What about organics? Do you have an organics reel or something like that?

[thatcoulhavebeenfun]

Very Very Nice models... well impressed... especially the first one. liked that a lot

[pierrrecesar]

Very impressive !

[YukiTheRookie]

amazing work but ACOG (scope) on top M4 is backwards ;)

[Ryanmorgan1989]

0:53 where the music kicks in showing the Marine kicks ass, nice video editing ya mo'fo lol

[CWScott24]

great job. I just started getting into 3d modeling in august i cant wait to be as good as you. how many years have you been doing this?

[BrettMcDermott]

Well I would hate to be the texture artist for this model.

[floorpeas]

Hi, thought i'd leave you some feedback on the reel. The models are really nice, however your presentation isnt. You have too many shadow emitting lights in the scene. Your scene is too dark also. Also the reel is too long. You should keep it down to 1-1:30 mins really. Some of the camera angles and movements were a bit random also. But really nice models

[funkmfour]

can someone tell me the title of song? appreciate it so much...hehe

[v0jt1s3k]

I had to change "default" reel music because I didn`t had the rights :(

[MoolahNasreddin]

@v0jt1s3k, you are well skilled in hard surface modelling! I like your own concepts much more than original "copies". I was such amazed by Sunbeam's record of speed so I decided to check it... Yeah, I found it and the info is right but your model of the SunBeam is a bit different from the original (the wings).

Anyway - you're really cool! :)

[v0jt1s3k]

Thanks a lot guys!!

Manqed, fancrydrew : I used just maya for this reel

BigAshg123: The first vehicle is about 3,5milion polys unsmoothed, the suit is about 1,5 mil unsmoothed :)

54sifor54: If I understand you correct - yes, everything is done by polymodeling, but some surfaces I started as a nurbs and then converted them to polygons. Rendered in Mental Ray.

[MrAwesomeChel]

Veeeery Awesome

[54sifor54]

is very well your demo reel. a question. as you did with Maya polygonal rendering. v0jt1s3k answer my question. thanks .....

esta muy bien tu demo reel . una pregunta .como hicistes el render con maya poligonal .responde mi duda v0jt1s3k .gracias

[BigAshg123]

how many faces on this dude?

[a1579]

Very clean topology. Every animators dream

[Arunictrichloride]

I dont think animators would worry about topology on a hard surface that is not expected to deform. What do you think?

[fancrydrew]

Nice ACOG for the M4 . . . . lol

Wonderful work!

You've made the models in 3DS Max?

Cheers!!!

[Aetila]

You're talented; great works here!

[LordSRS]

Nice man this is what i came for :P i was looking at some demoreels here and dude there where some bad ones :P this is not bad love the car

[idiiidit]

nice, compositing is much harder

[Manqed]

Awesome demoreel! Where did you go to college at?

[v0jt1s3k]

@Manqed I`m selftaught, no cg college :)

[Manqed]

Wow! Which program did you use for the demo reel? Zbrush, Maya?

[123456hussam]

@v0jt1s3k

hi man Did you used Maya only for this 3d modling ? or just rendering ?

i am using solid works and auto desk inventor do you know any things about these two software ? do you think they are good for modling ?

[ednan7]

@v0jt1s3k great work and that being self taught...!..I dowloaded this Raptor model of yours..heavy man 135Mb..let me know if someone was able to rig this model....I was looking part by part of your model..so many parts man..!...love to see more..!

[v0jt1s3k]

@ednan7 Hey, thanks! I didn`t rig it, it was very poly heavy and the concept was not developed very well, so for rigging there are many lacks and geometry bugs. I`d like to see it in motion, but I`m afraid it`s impossible :(

[jellooooooo]

thats really really impressive

[Zhmogedra]

boooorin

[lalaliam]

could you make a tutorial?

[v0jt1s3k]

Hi guys, thanks for comment, nice to see somebody is still watching this!

[DrazilG3X]

great stuff dude ...

really liked all of em but mostly fav. the space marine..

coollll

[Robopencil]

Some sexy models!

[KillersHead]

very n1 jobs you've done.

[r4roby]

nyc one m8 heavy stuff

[v0jt1s3k]

I`m very glad You like it :). Thanks a lot, it`s very motivating for me.

FactoryGaming: Don`t ask please, toooooo long :D. It was lame progress, very complicated, I was dying on the heavy armor model

[Djreko]

Respect bro . kick ass work , TOP ROW stuff .

[take450]

HOT DAMN

[HypeMStudios]

nice high poly models

[FactoryGaming]

how long did it take you do do those? they r fucking awesome!

[rubent100]

nice but some camera movements are not good, the closeups especially. makes me wanna change the channel

[VicViperTPS]

very nice

[KZ2killa]

wow you are great. you need to make more videos and maybe do some voiceovers. your models are great

[poroni77]

WOW.. very clean and fantastic work! :) And great presentation.

[willpreston]

that vehicle at the beginning was dope. who desinged it?

[v0jt1s3k]

Hey, thanks! It`s completly my own design

[willpreston]

well sir, it rocks.

did you model it in maya then detail it in zbrush? what level of detail do you do in 3D and what level do you do in Zbrush?

[haj1111]

Nice ............
