Maya Generalist

[hockeyplayer3327]

Check my demo reel out at www.putfile.com/hockeyplayer3327. My reel looks a lot better in full screen when it is viewed. I am proficient in Maya with fluid effects, particle simulations and compositing in After Effects. Hit me up if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks :bot:
