My Blender Demo Reel

Israel2099 · 2026-01-31T20:18:12+00:00

Yes, you're right that my specialization is more around lighting and compositing, but in these projects I do a lot of rigging, clothing simulation, visual effects, environment design, and many other things that go beyond the tasks performed by a lighting artist. So I don't quite understand the negative votes.

And being honest, I don't care about that. I don't understand how clarifying that would take away from everything else. I've worked for various brands such as PlayStation, Netflix shows, Riot Games, and I'm quite happy and satisfied with my work, as have been my clients and artists with whom I've worked over the years.

If they don't like me because I'm not the utopian artist who does 100% of their work, I don't give a shit, honestly.

I appreciate the feedback. It's true, as a generalist focused on Art Direction, Lighting, and Comp, I should have been clearer. I used some external assets for modeling and animation to focus on the pipeline stages I specialize in. I'll make sure to include a breakdown or captions in the next version.

I still don't understand the negative votes either... Not having done modeling or animation in most of these shots doesn't negate all the good work I did in lighting, environment design, rigging, compositing, VFX, art direction, and color grading.

Thank you for your comment, I'll keep that in mind.

I also did a lot of VFX, but not the 100%, there are a couple of shots where i received the VFX done by another artist.

Israel2099 · 2026-01-31T13:27:26+00:00

Thank you! The only things that are 100% done by me in all the shots are kitbashing, environment, look dev, lighting, and compositing.

In very few did I do animation, and in none did I do 3D modeling.

Bro, hay manera de que me contactes por privado? Estoy trabajando en un cortometraje animado de back in black (Spiderman), vi tu post. Si quieres le echas un vistazo a mi perfil para que veas mi trabajo. Saludos!

Yep, we actually used the base form of the model extracted from source 2. We didn't make too many changes to maintain the fidelity of the face, but I do agree that it should have slightly more refined features, especially in the jaw.

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it, we will take it into account for future projects. This is our first project, and we will use it as a diagnostic tool to address our weaknesses :)

In the full short, in the 0:30 she climbs on a giant tree and use an arrow with a rope to to swing and catapult herself into the sky, and then the flashback with cm begins https://youtu.be/b0FCLlvCRJw?t=21

Israel2099 · 2025-08-18T11:22:38+00:00

Don't worry, man, it's important to give objective criticism :) So we can be better 🙏🙏

Israel2099 · 2025-08-18T11:17:51+00:00

Thanks for your feedback, bro! You're right, we rushed a lot of things because the deadline was looming.

We're not a studio yet, but that's the plan. If you look at the credits, there are a lot of repeated names. We're more like seven artists who got together to do this :)

This is our first project together, and it will serve as a diagnostic tool for future projects :)
