Emanuel Barros's reel is entirely made in Blender and contains some great character animation.

Goood with 3 o!
Fantastic stuff! Love the white fluffy hair.
LOVE the humor. Well done.
Most of times I see reels that are too long and not too good.
But your reel Emanuel.. your reel is so good I wish it was twice the length.
Very well done!
Excellent stuff! so many people tend to avoid character animation, but I can tell you've put a lot of practice and effort in. +1
thanx very much
Congratulations on a great show reel. I would like to ask you some questions about the wavy hair that appears right at the start. It looks great. Was it rendered in cycles? Did you use some special technique to help reduce render times? I noticed that the tips of the hairs seem slightly blurred. Is this to get rid of some kind of rendering artifact?
Sorry for all these questions! It's just that I would like to render animations with particle hair in cycles, but the render times are prohibitively long. Any advice would be appreciated.
hi! Thank you. used to render the normal properties, nothing special. perhaps may have been for putting gpu, 256-256 tiles in performance in the render menu.
Greetings.
Thank you for your reply. I've got GPU rendering going ok (and of course it's a huge time saver), but I might be being over optimistic about render times. My animations are about 10,000 frames long, and I can't seem to get sufficient hair rendering quality without prohibitively long render times. Currently, I'm making do with polygon based hair. Maybe by the time the Gooseberry Project hair dynamics/collision system filters through to the general user, hair rendering times will also be shorter.
Anyway, great work. Thanks for sharing!
hi, soon i´m going to do a tutorial to show you how i did the character and hair :)
See you;)
That would be excellent! Thank you very much.
