HI

Is there anyone out there that can help me. I am working towards getting a job as a character animator and was just wondering if anyone can help. what kind of work should go into a showreel and a portfolio for this area as I am not sure what would be best.

Any help would be great thanks

Here is an example of a good 3d animation show reel

As you can see the emphasis is entirely on the animation.
Rendering, 3d modeling and everything else beside animation is not really important because animators usually animate. Smile
