  • I am a student at VFS and the fact these comments are even on here are insulting, this is a model reel from a student and why people feel the need to fight over religion on youtube is beyond me.

    P.S.

    I remember when we would just kill each other over disputes of religion....

  • Ugh more bloody bible battles. Idk how you came to this conclusion. It's a modelling reel. -.-

  • Looks really good, Took a lot of time I think :D

  • My favourite video has been taken down, it was about a blue guy that said a joke and did all soar of stupid thing to make another laugh, and does when the first one cracks up a fart... Made me realize that the best videos are made with a great concept. I love this one because it has a great technique and inspires me to grab my Max Studio and try to do something similar. These thins make me believe and did, years ago, when I saw the firt video, that VFS is my paradise.

  • how did you guys get heaven and hell from this?

  • I wish i had the passion i had for animation in highschol as i do now...i wouldn't be in community college thats for sure but better late than never...but never late is better...i guess

  • @TKOxPeRfEcTiOnz Good observation.

  • Good portfolio, Hsuan!

  • AGain, had to see it yet again. Nice models! I've got some competition, hehe.

  • GREAT WORK!

  • I hate religious debates, they always seem to taint good videos.

    Unfortunate

  • I like the fact that the beast has testicles... Most designers are afraid of placing reproductive organs, but they are a natural part of the body, and they give more realism.

    Sorry, Bad English.

  • I also think it's extremely rude to bash someone for thanking God in their video. He does amazing work and, although I don't agree with his beliefs, he's one hell of a good artist.

  • @WeedyFlash ..I'm an artist and thats why I was watching this vid and I looked down and seen the debate. I'll tell you one thing though I thank the Lord every day that I can draw. Who do you think gave humans the ability to create?... think about it.

  • SUPERB MODELS

  • Can everyone please stop having religious debates every where they mention God? JUST SHUT UP AND WATCH THE VIDEO, GOD. Wait I said God, here comes another religious debate.

  • Is there sotry behind these models?

  • good stuff. It's nice to see creatures with genitalia.

  • I've only been using blender for about 3weeks now and can animate, make simple games, and model just about anything i see. So, it is all about dedication. Never say never.

  • he looks like a right nasty piece of work.

  • holly :O

    this is prob the only copy of my reel that survived since my portable HD died alone with these models, too bad this version has crappy quality and is missing the last model :O

    time flys by :O

  • @schen1013 No its on a dvd @ the school =]

  • Beautiful work :) and I agree with Phooka83. The music works with these pieces :D excellent :)

  • great work

  • wooooww.. amazing! :D

  • when he dies he should be in peace why carry your ego to the other side if i die i wouldent mind sharing the after life with a murderer because he is no longer a murderer that was what he was only if a christian would would they update the bible but as long as they dont think for them selves i think chirtians are not in the right path to spiritualism

  • @Tepicoelano2 i dont think so why cant there be one play why separate it does it really matter what you did in this life i dont think so because how much would people apreciate peace when there is no war haw much can you value a good deen when there are people who do bad deeds after all the siner its nesesary in this world atleast for now.

  • @Tepicoelano2 why do christians believe in a hell or a heaven. have they ever stoped to think about it. let say there is a higher being or so called god what ever god is. does there has to be a heaven for a god to exist.

  • @Tepicoelano2 its human nature to do good and bad you cant prevent tht. the only way to make a warfree world is to remove all human emotion n that takes away our humanity. if thts what you want, good luck. As long as we feel, we r human. As long as we r human, we will do good and bad. As long as we distinguish between good and bad ther will be heaven and hell (and in Christian belief you could be the most "good" person alive but if you don't believe that Christ is your savior youre goin to hell)

  • @nameno1elsehas i agree with what you are saying am not saying that we shoulden have feelings we can control our feelings better thou to make better choices . but the thing is what do you consider good and bad and how can you really separate the two when the universe does not know the meaning of good an bad

  • @nameno1elsehas only we as humans consider something bad or good acceptable or not by how it makes us feel but that doesent mean that it its not something positive if you really look at the bottom of ever so called bad act there is a good and at thr bottom of every good act there is a bad act so they just cancel out

  • i loled at the balls, i imagine you modeling them

  • Lol wow thats cool. I love the hand it shows movement almost.

    vary nice and creative, reminds me of some of the gnomon art.

  • very cool stuff man i'm hopin to get this good soon. and this argument about religion and life and all that bs was kinda interesting too. just putting this out there don't start arguments about almost nothin the video is about thnx :)

  • hello MLeSix :) I see you wrote ".... and I HELP Others more than most.". This capslock manner can say a thing or two about you, that are perhaps not true. I won't go into details, but if you, or anyone here wants to talk about deeper stuff in a casual manner, feel free to PM me on UTube :).Further on MLeSix, you said that you help others, but at the same time you wrote that, you were not trying to help others understand things. deeds are speaking for you :).

    This is not an insult

    Be well

  • Hi zoomaki. I appreciate the questions you asked. It is believed that the first humans, lived for a period of a few hundreds of years individually e.g Adam = 900 years. So Adam and Eve had many children (Chain could of married e.g 8 generations apart from his). something to note he didn't sleep with his mother. And to quickly answer question 2, NO Santa Claus doesn't exist.

    Well, all the best, hope that helps a little.

  • No im talking about the ppl who wrote the bible. The word, once again Atheist means someone who didn't buy into the God Band-aid solution

  • Also, why live ur entire life by the rules of some book written by sexists and sadists with dysentery in robes? All the morals in the bible Cant hold a candle to a common persons Common Sense. The concept of religion came to exist due to ppls spirituality, and need to be part of something, and to explain the world in the easiest possible way. Then it was used to keep the Heathens in line and scared. Then finally with much revision, here we are in 2009, with much recycling of Gods. Obvious Yes?

  • Also, I don't give a damn if u are atheist or not.

    I just think u were very stupid coming here and criticising the owner of this reel just because he thanked God.

    The work is good, the guy worked on it and you have nothing to do with it, he thanks whoever he wants.

    And then YOU come here talking about oppression ?

    Should I also mention that besides an oppressor, christians persecutor, you are also hypocrite?

  • Its not stupid, I say what most ppl want to say but dont to save drama. But sometimes one must step up to the plate. The ppl of religions have by far the biggest mouths. So im here to counter that. I was making fun of the fact that he thanked a god before his parents that are real and gave birth to him. I ain't oppressing, im just stating that it is scary to be devoid of common sense. Im not here to take away ur precious religion, if ur religion is infallible then how come the truth stings u?

  • And one more thing..

    Who are you to talk about persecution and fear and raise the modern world's flag , when in fact you are acting YOURSELF like an ancient barbarian persecuting christians ?

    I thought in 2009 everyone has the freedom of beliefs.

    it's 2009 pal, modern world my friend! accept the differences huh ? ;)

    Your own attitude in this site contradicted everything u say.

  • How bout we make Peace this isn't going anywhere. We both know our stances on the topic. You understand or don't my p.o.v. and visa versa. Lets leave it at that. Have a good day

  • It's fine, I believe in peace.

    Let's leave this discussion.

    Have a nice day.

  • I have to say this reel is amazing, the creatures are very realistic, I can say this with an artistic eye cause I´m also an 3d character artist.

    To you MLe Six, what you say is so wrong. Fact is, real christians are the one who think much deeper and wider than the most atheists do. Atheists tend to say, stop thinking about God there is maybe no God, just enjoy your life, do what you want and as much as you can. Christian usally think much futher, how can I do Gods will, how can I help others.

  • I am not an Atheist by ur terms, The word" Atheist" was invented by the religious. Im happily married, i get paid well for my work, and I HELP Others more than most. Ur flat man, and ur in a small box just like all bullshit eaters of religion. Christians are full of shit and too afraid to admit the truth. I dont care what u do with ur life and how afraid u are of it. I and everyone i know are doing quite fine without it. So i stand in Awe of How amazingly Childish and Dumb and Naive ppl can be

  • oh yes, sure you help, you feed a hungry stomach maybe or buy remedies to a sick ? it's very nice... but I tell you, it means nothing if you help the flesh but helps to kill a human's SOUL.

    Bless the flesh and the soul. or better first the soul and then the flesh.

  • point is... no christian ever goes to anyone's reel or whetever the hell to say " hey ! u have to thank God ! "

    But if a christian says " thank God " soon comes the atheists saying " you don't need to thank God ! you belive in fairy tales"

    That shows your hypocrisy and your intolerance.

    Let the guy thanks who he wants !

  • Jesus is an American was a Satirical pov, Chill. You heaving person of religion you. Bullshit exists at all time in every time frame. Just becuase a bs story became popular doesnt mean its gold now. Look at hypocrisy. The bible is always in a state of Edit. If its gods words how dare humans change it Right? As for Intolerance, Religion such as Christianity has burned how many? Killed how many? Looking down on everybody, simmering in ur own idiocrisy and blind belief

  • Saving the mortal flesh and let the soul get dirty and rotten is stupidity, because the flesh will die, but the soul will never die. Nothing u will take from this world, only your soul. And naked your soul will be.. who will save it?

  • explode clay or any kind of material or leave it there ! nothing will be formed ! nothing intelligent will ever be formed, let alone have any function !

    But give the clay in the hands of an sculptor and he'll make a beautiful sculpture with it. because he put his brain to think and his hands to work on it.

    And Jesus american ? lol was the bible written by americans ? u don't know much about history do u ?

    So it's me who lives in a fantasy huh ? haha

    You atheists make me laugh.

  • @Anoth3rUs3r This world is sick is it not? I want to puke when I see comments like these. Its what they believe, just leave it. Theres not alot WE can do. Leave it to god.

  • another characteristic of atheists is that they always put the sentence 'sexually frustrated' in their texts haha

    It proves why you have so much sperm in your head.

    And how you question things ? ooooh life began from an explosion and everything would form so perfect huh ?

    Try exploding a piece of clay and see if something beautfiul and logic will be formed. haha will it ? Even our machines to work , needed brains to project and make them work.

  • believing that all the extremely complex mechanics of nature from this world was created by evolution or explosion is the same as believing that throwing the unjoined pieces of a F-18 to the air they will fall all into place and form the plane ready to fly it ! lol it's just as absurd !

    Nothing reasonable and that WORKS is formed without the influence of intelligence.

  • You sound like a child. "you have so much sperm in your head"... seriously? That's got the be the most immature thing you could have responded with, disregarding his point and throwing irrelevant insults.

    Life life with morals, not rules. A Christian does a good deed out of fear of eternal damnation, an atheist does a good deed because of his strong morals.

    You believe that the atheist still deserves eternal damnation simply because he doesn't believe in God. That's scary shit.

  • no one is saved by deeds.

    the good deeds are consequence of love.

    And no, I didn't say that atheists deserve hell, but I say that atheists, christians (including me) and all mankind deserve hell.

    If a soul is saved, it's due to the Jesus Christ's sacrifice.

    The last to do a good deed for fear, would be a christian, real christians know that their good deeds can't get them to heaven. So stop saying bullshit and go study about the subject first to know for what we do or not do a good deed.

  • @Esoremada Ahem, I wasn't going to reply to a comment that's 9 months old, but I just wanted to say......What Christian does good things due to fear? A person that does that isn't a Christian.

    And I agree, about him being immature. But don't base God on what people tell you, or what you thought up.

    A lot of people disgrace certain religions, and give that religion a bad name. But you shouldn't disregard a religion because of something someone says.

    Just saying. xD

  • @Esoremada Your right, but im a christian and I dont obay god out of fear. I follow god because I am thankful for what he has done for us. You can think thats crazy but thats what I think. Dont speak for EVERY christian, we are all different.

  • @Esoremada Even you are wrong. You should not do the right thing because you fear Gods judgement. You should do the right thing because you want to do the right thing. Saying and doing one thing whiles thinking and believing in something els makes what you are doing irrelevant, does it not? What you believing in (if anything) could not bother me the least. But doing something to someone you do not wish to be done upon yourself... now that's the deeds of a self centered fool.

  • @raymondAmonRa I don't know where you are getting your facts about Christianity but you've been sadly miss informed.. it sounds like you're just going on a rant on a subject you know nothing about. I could give you the whole run down, but there has already been a book published on the subject call the bible.

    We aren't out doing good out of fear of judgement. Those are just predicables Jesus lays out for a better life. He died for us and thats what saved us.

  • Comment removed

  • @raymondAmonRa I agree, but obviously the person that that I was talking to isn't as reasonable as you. I think in a perfect world everyone would have morals, but sadly this isn't a perfect world and some people need fear to do the right thing. I'm strongly against religion being taken literally because it degrades science and makes people do irrational things.

    PS- My comment is over a year old, I'm not so biased anymore and I've matured, but I still think religion is irrational.

  • @Esoremada Too bad the Bible doesn't even agree with them. There is no Hell--there is only described "gehenna." "Christians" are wrong about that doctrine you attack. Also, you're wrong--you need rules (universal principles) to govern morals, otherwise, all morals are relative and can't be consider real "morals" at all--your say-so and the popular vote becomes morals. There's no hope for being right without some kind of truly universal standard. Neither atheists or "Christians" follow such.

  • @SuperGamer87

    I like to think that morals come naturally to most humans. If I wasn't told by my parents that rape and murder was wrong I would still come to that conclusion on my own, I have an innate sense of right and wrong. If I do something to hurt another person I feel guilt, and so do most people, that's morals.

    And hell is referenced a lot in the bible.

    eg. Matthew 13:42: "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

  • hyena bat thing = rock out with your cock out!!!

  • wow, absolutely love it......

  • Could you tell me how you renderd out that animatic? :43 I would appricate it alot.

    nice vid

  • testikels :D

  • testiKILLS!

  • WHERE I CAN GET FREE ImAGE PLANE LIKE THOS AT 2:38 please wait ur respond

  • pause at exactley 1:18 you are a great modeller

  • BAHAHAHA

  • lmfao! hey at least he's accurate about what gender it is xD

  • I have a serious answer:

    Yes it is possible, and the job would be a Maquette builder. But you don't use clay you use Super Sculpey both firm and soft with a foil and metal armature underneath for support. It's best to get in education in sculpture art, they teach it to animation students mostly. Understand that, unlike normal clay, you don't use water to mold the form, you use turpenoid, because the sculpey is oil based clay. It doesn't hardens till you cook it, so it's really easy to mess up.

  • I have a serious Question:

    is there any possibilty to create such Models like the hyena-dog-type from clay? and when "yes" whats that job called?

  • some animations??? will be for the next...

  • Really nice work on this Demo Reel. The models have many realistic characteristics and are quite smoothly made. I was wondering if someone, by any chance, would know the name of the music present in this video.

    Thanks. My congratulations to the artist.

  • i want that dog..!!

  • ewW! it's so creepy! :0

  • wow widescreen!

    reminds me alot of jelmer boskma's one.

    the classical music and everything

  • I'm with you Soviet..If I had known about it before I went to college, it would have been my first choice

  • You should get paid! $100 a poly :)

  • I wanna go to Vancouver Film School! :'(

  • same here!!

  • @Soviet20 If your dedicated, and willing to work on your own, there is more than enough information available online to do this sort of stuff without the education ;)

  • @hutchings000 Yeah but my family wouldn't be able to afford or let me do such a thing.

  • @Soviet20 You don't need to buy fancy software to learn, nor do you need an overly powerful computer.

    Download Blender3D, Gimp, student versions of software and more if you can. Really dig into it and you'll be able to get the hang of it. :)

  • @hutchings000 Yeah but self teaching plus internet tutorials can only get you so far. But still I'll give it a try thx!

  • @hutchings000

    You won't be able you acheive this kind of amazing shader detailes in blender . you realy need some proffesional software. autodesk maya.

  • @BinaryPhoenix Careful now ;) Wouln't want to become a software expert. One would want to learn how to become an artist, utilizing the concepts and idea's, and applying them to best fit what you have to work with.

    Also, have you ever tried getting the same shader detail in blender? One doesn't need professional software, to be "Professional" ;)

  • me too

  • in regard to the low and high poly modeling thing: if you can model high res, you can model low res. :p

  • that's not completely true . some people tend to model real high res models in a sculpting program like z brush without knowing how to box model effectively and they just sculpt it like clay without putting to account of how much resources are being used on the computer for each polygon. and they never practice to box model well. so when they make a low poly version of their model and add the normal map, the model still look blocky.

  • Anybody with half a brain knows they can create low poly cage in ZBrush after you've sculpted or for that matter in any other 3d software.

  • no trust me im in a class full of artists but they dont really understand how or why they should even make anything with less than a million poly's then they wonder y when they bring there meshes into a program like max or maya y it either freezes, crashes or goes super slow. I think everyone who goes into zbrush could do with leaning a goos basis of box modeling in another software so they get to terms with better edge loops and so on.

  • why not just retopologize the model in zbrush? with the correct edge loops/ polyflow..

    that way the mesh is even correct as lowpoly mesh (games) in terms of keeping details when using a normalmap . .

  • excelente.!!! muy buen estudio de musculos. admirable tu trabajo!

  • Umm.. just a question.. why does "the beast" have testicles?

  • i know my beast does

  • its a male.......hopefully..........­

  • to make it look more realistic in other cases

  • get over it, its just a pair of balls

  • that was made from a whole team of people this is one man

  • This isn't an animation reel - It's a modeling reel. This demonstrates the artist's ability to capture a character in a frozen environment, not to move it around.

    The turnarounds are merely there so that the audience can see the entire model. : )

  • Fantastic modelling! I haven't tried anything that complex. Babysteps 'n all...

    Have you rigged them? My heart skipped a beat at the thought. Eek!

    (c=;

  • It looks good but I'm noticing a pattern here. It seems like all VFS students are only good at high poly modeling and animation. none of the low poly art I've seen was really that good. Is your "game design" program not very good or is the students' work just not that great? I'm a little more interested in efficient low poly modeling, UV mapping and texturing using engine limitations...and I haven't seen anything impressive in that regard on the VFS website.

  • I'm not a pro, nor do I understand VFS's approach to their students but here's my theory

    VFS is a film school. Animation is a kind of film. Low poly is essential for games because of the interactivity aspect, but movies are more render-heavy. Games use textures, normal, bump, spec maps, etc to capture detail that their poly limit won't allow. Whereas in film, capturing detail through polys (in addition to maps) make them look 10x better than in games.

  • Yeah, I know how 3D graphics work. :) It just surprises me that a school with a game design program doesn't seem to actually teach anything game-related...unless you count cinematics, which are not actually part of gameplay. High poly models are great and all, but it's a lot less impressive when you see that it takes people months to make one model.

  • nasty

  • hey Steven, great job, that´s real art, thode are amazing skills, and i love your work, i´ve seen some other videos, congratulations

  • question: do you have to be a realy great artisit with your hands to get into this school?, because I'm not a great artist but would love to do animation work.

  • Yeah you actually have to be really artistic, cause you need a Portfolio of your personal work to get in.

  • ty :( I guess I can't go there....

  • don't let that get you down. there are lots of ways to develop the skills needed to obtain a proper portfolio.

    if you're serious about animation - whether traditional or 3D - I recommend that you read:

    - The illusion of life

    - the animator's survival guide

    - cartoon animation by Preston Blair

    - Timing for animation

  • ty I gotta look for those books maybe take a drawing class too lol

  • oh ya vary cool! I say this on the DVD!

  • feaky, cool

  • heh Bat-Hyena. Looks like something out of "Avatar the Last Airbender"

  • nahh looks like sumthing out of resident evil

  • I know how long and hard it can be to do such an amazing modeling like this .. this is a real piece of art. I would love to be THAT good once in my life ! incredible work !

  • J.S.Mozart - requiem but an organ/computer cover ( watch?v=0-zDH_ekIUg )

  • upz i think i was thinking o bach at the same time... it's w.a. mozart

  • The Beast is BOMB.

  • your art is amazing! keep at it! :-D

  • the beast is freakin awsome great work guys. I use some 3d programs but I have much to learn.

  • That's awesome. My friends going to that school right now.

  • I'm pretty good at modeling but really hate texturing ...always thought there's a special texture team for that ...

  • mozart - requium mass

  • Amazing how you knew that...

  • the fur is jst fuking amazing wow.

  • if u hv ever studied animal anatomy..u would hv noticed that..the balls of dogs and wolfs aren't like the that of humans..they dnt hang side by side...instead they are one behind the other...lol

  • dude its a modelling reel, this guy is being marked on his topology and mesh and edge loop flow and also making sure his mesh consists of quads which gives his topology a good flow especially wen animating. You say its boring well dude if your looking for exxcitment den u r watching the wrong type of reel its modelling not texturing or animating or lighting, jst a good model on a turntable with a good uv layout. And i give this a 10 out of 10 in term of modelling.

  • check out some other reels..dude..this is way boring..and i mean modelling reels..were in u dont repeat scenes many times..but also keep each scene long enough..that one can really look into details..i say again..i never said the wrk ws bad. and plz dnt get exited and type a page long comment..this is not a debate.

  • If u r modeling a character in a modeling and texturing reel, then u r required to just hav a 360 turn around of your model with the same shots, this way the industry panel can see the flow of his topology and mesh throughout his model, this guy would get a job in the 3d industry hands down, coz u either specialize in modeling and texturing or rigging and animating or lighting etc, so i guess this guy wanted to specialize in modeling and texturing.

  • And also sombodi else would specialize in camera hots in the industry, so in the industry he would model and texture the character and then give it to the riggers to animate and they would give it to the lighters and then to the camera specialist. But if he modeled an environment it would go straight to the lighters and then to the camera guys or girls.

  • interesting reply, uum out of this whole interesting reel all you noticed were the balls? dude.

  • good reel..agreed...knowledge of something before u execute..Necessary..or the product is like ...hollow man..where they show blue coloured blood for impure blood going into the heart!funny..awesome special effects..but lots of errors, in the moive..at no point i ment this guys wrk ws bad...!

  • fantasy creatures are allowed to be anything crazy that the creator wants..... But good catch if it's true.

  • hmmm..: )

  • u really need to make an interesting reel..this ones way too boring..but the wrk is good..ppl hv to wait..and thats nt a good thing in the industry..

  • The models are good, but the reel itself is a pain.

  • U GUYS QUIT IT !!! YUR SCARING ME...i don't want to die :(

  • Wanna see my band? Look for:

    Herrie uit Holland - Medusa

    or

    Herrie uit Holland - Enough of That

  • eww

  • OMG!!! amazing work, Hope I can do stuff like this when I graduate from film school

  • Boring video but very good work. Exelent expresion

  • looks cool... is it going to be used in some movie someday? looks like something I would like to watch!

  • Truly Amazing.

  • Stupid people, this is incredible work, i'll hope to be as good as this one day =)

  • you guys are idiots. firstly i was in stevens class, hes brilliant. his modeling reel set a new standard for modeling reels at VFS. he now works at blizzard cinematics, its hard to find someone who is as talented and a good person as he is. if you post a bad comment on this all you do is show how little you know about 3d, and what it is to be a 3d STUDENT in this industry.

  • Agreed... Was in 3d56 myself... Steven was awesome
