I have finally graduated from the Centre for Arts and Technology!
Here are my graduation reels. A 2 minute 3D Generalist reel, showcasing many of the different skills I have learned over the past two years.
Also a 1 minute demo reel focusing on my animation skills!
Hope you like them.

Character Textures
I have been working hard on my soldier character concept.
I have finally gotten it textured and have some renders to show.
I learned a lot making this character, and can't wait to start another one!

New Life Drawings
Some new stuff. I'm pretty happy with the progress that I've made in the last few years. Hopefully I'll have even better stuff to post in the future!

Robot Compositing, With breakdowns!
Here is what I have been working on at school lately.
This is the robot model I built and textured, comp'd into a photo of the schools cafeteria.
We had a lighting class in which we shot HDR light probes.
I also shot a few stills for background plates that day, and this is the result of a days or so work.
Pretty happy with how it turned out. I added a breakdown sequence this week and I'll probably put this on my upcoming Demo reel.

Environment for next semester !
One of my big projects for quarter 6 is doing an environment model.
So, over the break I'm scouting locations for my model.
I haven't decided which location I'm going to make, but here are a few ideas that I'm kicking around.
The showcase in front of the Nova Scotia Art Gallery
The Dominion Public Building on Bedford Row
The Alexander Keiths Brewery Market
The Nova Scotia Divinity College
The Halifax Armory on Agricola St.
The Halifax Commons Fountain
The Halifax Commons Skate Park
Quinpool Education Centre
Quinpool Video Difference
Quinpool Tower Apartments Green Space
Most of these are Halifax landmarks, the green space is actually a park that is located on top of an apartment building!
I like all the locations but I think my favorites are the Skate Park, the Greenspace, the Brewery Market, and Video Difference.
The skate park is nice, due to its large size, but its relatively low detail, most of the interest comes from the texturing of that environment, however I'm not super into skating, and I think one of my classmates may be interested in it as well.
I like the Green space, because it is a neat area that many people, haven't seen.
But it has a lot of trees and plants, which I feel may give me some trouble when modeling. Also, I think having a recognizable location on my demo reel would be a good thing.
I love movies and Video Difference is my favorite video store. There is a great deal of detail on the storefront, which could make an impressive model, and I love their neon sign.
I still haven't decided, and will keep looking for new locations around Halifax this week. I am trying to stay away from modeling my apartment, as that has been very popular at school in the past.
