3D Maya modelling show reel

This vid contains some of my personal 3D creations done with Maya, from concept to final model. The third model was done for my former employer. I usually work for an xBox 360 developer as an conceptual artist. I do mostly 2D designs which are later used as a 'blueprint' for a particular design. Modeling in 3D is a fun thing for me to do, not my main job.

yeeehaaaa!

Okay. One more time because some smart asses wont get it.

this is my personal showreel I did for fun. Its by no means intended to be a reel one would use to get a job. And if it were one, I would for sure not host it on youtube, but burn it on a DVD and send it to some of those fucked up anim studios. I spent almost 20 years in that industry and I'm so very much over it you wouldn't believe. There is nothing out there I treat with more disrespect than this very industry and its ass-lickers FTW

[petertalis]

Why do I hate this industry so much?

Mainly because it exploits the artist to the max... and because of all the annoying geeks, standing next to you and giving smart comments, as well as the horrible competitive behavior everybody seems to have in this business. It has so nothing to do with what people think of it. To me, working in this industry was a nightmare and I'm glad I can do my own art, In my own shop as an tattoo artist now. Its far more rewarding than working on a 3D feature. Peace!

Congrats. You just flamed someone for giving you quality feedback.

If I was to say your showreel wasn't worthy of anywhere near 80,000 hits, that would be a smart arse comment. Valid nonetheless.

Go with Maya.

Stay with Maya.

@petertalis despite the fact that u wrote the comment two years ago i just have to say ur shitty with the animation industry because u cant get a break uve spent 20 years in the industry and have nothing to show 4 it did u ever stop to think maybe its because u create crappy models like these 2?

[ihopeutubedies]

U can't take criticism?

@petertalis well,as for 20 years of work in the field,your work looks unimpressive...even mediocre. It's not people's fault that you are emotional and can't handle the pressure of being a 3d/2d artist. As for the tatoos,some of them are impressive,but many show a huge lack of drawing skill..it' like they were 2 persons doing them

Reminds me of a baby Pyro from TF2~!

@petertalis well this is a really late response to ur comment, but I find that competition always causes people to do the best they can. The sense of competition is what fuels people's motivation. However, competition can bring out the worst in some people. If you think the 3D industry is not right for you, well then there's nothing anyone can really do about that. You only got 1 chance to life your life (well unless ur a Hindu), so do what you really want with no regrets :)
