wow awesome stuff, love the rocket pigeon at the beginning what did you use for the smoke trails afterburn or fume or ?

@DavideoDesign

Hey thanks a lot! The smoke trails are your basic maya particles, altho if i remember correctly i had some per particle expressions on there and a fluid shader i believe... Helped them look more like fluids anyways. Thanks for watching!

WHA...how come I didn't see this at the portfolio show?!

fellow student here, 4th quarter =P

the 3D tracking looks interesting. you used boujou for that?

[TheChrismcilveen]

@1BrknHrtdRomeo Haha thanks! Ahh i remember 4th quarter, good times! Are you in the VFX program as well?

And ya, I used Boujou for the camera tracking, which was cool, but since then I've learned a lot about other packages and techniques, and would probably do things differently if i had another crack at it ;)

Why do you and Jessica Clifton have the same kitchen in the demo reel?

[TheChrismcilveen]

@KaroiTV Hey, basically I did the modeling and rendering of the kitchen, and she composited the actor and final color correction for the shot. At school it was encouraged that we share assets and then we would credit the other artists at the end of the reel. Hope that explains it!

@TheChrismcilveen Okay, I was just wondering. I didn't wanted to sound mean or anything.
