Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.
As you may have noticed I have been a bit inactive in terms of creating something in 3D. This has been mostly because I haven't had the time or energy (and hence no motivation) because of my daytime job, which is not related to gfx in any way...
Anyway, my holidays are coming and I thought I'd use it for creating some kind of demo-reel. My problem is that I always start something too big and never really finish it. So the question is: What could I possibly do and preferably complete in four weeks. Ideas are welcome...

Haha, just kidding. Do whatever you feel. If you know you can't find any motivation, go outside and take a long walk. You might see something worth doing. Good luck
K-Man are you into character animation? Do you know how to rig and animate characters? If ya do then I would say invent a character and make him do a little dance, sing a tune walk along and fall over ect.
Make the clip about 10-20 seconds long and you should be able to do it in 4 weeks - I should know I have done it! Its and excellent way to start learning animation, phonemes, gesticulation etc...
Have a look at my website and my Alf character to see what I have done - you might even like it! If I think of something else I'll let you know gotta go now work calling!
Tickety boo and ta ta for a bit...

Gazz: Thanks. In theory I do know how to rig and animate characters but like I said I've never actually finished a character animation. I'll keep your idea in mind though.
Mike: Good advise too. Here in Finland there are very few companies that I would even want to send my demo. I believe that these companies are very small and are doing whatever they can sell... My point is I can't specialise too much...
I know my heart is in effects and dynamics but at the same time I have the feeling that there is no niche for it here...
Dunno... Maybe I'll do a smaller animation of the Andrea Gail thingy than I originally was planning. Then if I have time I'll add some other stuff too in the reel...
Actually, now that I think about what I just said I think the best solution for me might be freelancing...
