Hi Carlos, and welcome!
I'm not going to comment on technical stuff like tessellation- that comes with experience and practice. Stick with it!
And yes, KeyShot Animation can be a challenge, especially for the complex animation that you did. Personally, I think it's excellent!
What I do see in your work is raw talent and a rapidly developing skill, both of which will carry you far! The animation, complex as it is, is original and creative, and by far the best KeyShot animation I've seen yet. And your comp and editing skills are exceptional! You tell the story, but also share your trials and tribulations, all leading to an excellent conclusion. Your comp of the actual race track footage with CG is clever and well executed.
So, we all look forward to more from you, and share our desire for a very successful career! I've been a designer and Product Development specialist for almost 50 years, and have worked with many of the masters. So I know talent when I see it!

Well, I don't know where start. I think it's one of the first positive comments that I have read of one of my projects since I started eith them 4 or 5 months ago (I started from zero, I didn't know almost anything about modeling or render, a friend recommended me KeyShot and what a Discovery!).
Thank you very much for the advice, it means a lot for me from someone who has been in this 50 years, it’s an honor to talk to someone with so much experience, it isn’t something that one lives every day. My life right now is studying in winter (and combine it with some projects that give me some experience and money) and work in the summer to pay my rent room and the university. Last summer I was working 13 hours per day in a restaurant in France (they paid me 4 euros an hour, like $5 more or less). While I was washing dishes or cooking, I thought I didn’t want that for the rest of my life, so I thought this course would spend all my free time to improve my knowledge and skills; in Spain even being the best one doesn’t guarantees you a good job (my idea is to migrate when I finish college or the master if finally study it in Spain). Why am I telling you this? This summer I wont work, I will participate in a car design competition whose prize is a car (which I would sell) and a master, that's why I need to learn everything I can to start the Project; I'm going to spend the whole summer and I dont want many errors on it.
I'm pretty sure you've seen better animations
, first lacks some details on the environment that would give more realism (my computer crashed and could not "move" all the things I wanted to do). Also, I think it lacks a touch more like a study desing and less like in a film (I don’t explain very well, and less in English, but sure with your experience in this field know what I mean), I have to find some videos that Brands used in advertising to inspire a bit and try to change that mistake. Futhermore, I ahad to model the building, bridge, sea... and car movements , mmm... I don't like, it doesn’t seem real. For me, the ideal would be "get" the car in some videogame, and make renders moving through circuits and environments of the game, that would be perfect for dynamic renderings. In addition to the contest I have thought in a concept car, which would have many moving parts and do not know if I could set it all perfectly with KeyShot, I wish I could program it with a software like SolidWorks (for movements is the best I know) and then use KeyShot as rendering engine, but I don’t know if it’s possible with the plugin they offer.
Well, I don't keep you more time; I wish you be right about can see the talent, I would love work designing anything (especially cars), it is my dream since I was a child!
Carlos Ávalos.
