How do I build a professional 3D animation reel?

    My portfolio is currently a mess of random characters and unfinished environments. I really want to focus on a specialized demo reel that shows I can handle a professional pipeline. Does anyone have experience with intensive programs that help you polish your work to a studio standard?

    Getting that professional polish is all about the workflow. I’d recommend checking out the details on this course page: https://vfs.edu/programs/3d-animation-vfx. From my experience, their curriculum is built around the same pipelines used for games and film. It really helps you refine your modeling and VFX skills. It’s a tough year, but having a studio-quality reel at the end makes it totally worth it!
