Hello, When i started in this 3D world. I started with Modeling, But in my heart i always was in love with animation. Thinking of joining iAnimate, this summer. i want to spend as much as i can in animation. But also, i don't want to leave modeling/sculpting behind. How much should i spend in animation and in modeling per…
Thank you Mark, I think i'm already frustrated.I really want to choose one think and stick with it. Let summary of my "problem" I like to animate characters. To bring static models in life it is really fun. To give them something to do. Give them emotions. But, i like also to create characters. Rafael Grassetti and Vitaly…
Hi Ciceto. Some good advice here already. What do you plan to animate in? Maya? Max? Are you going to be strictly 3d or do you want to animate in 2d as well? There are free rigs available online for you to start animating simple sequences like walk cycles and such. Consider joining sites like The 11 second club. For 2d,…
I wish I had more expereance with this topic...but I will try to give you some advice (also to bump this post and possibly get my view of time management critiqued/ fixed/ changed):\ The more the better, 5 hours are average, 1 hour is total minimum. Depending on how much time you spend on them, you may not have to give up…
I would pick one or the other, there is a lot to learn in both and splitting your time will probably just frustrate you. Animation and modeling may seem like they can be learned at the same time but honestly I don't think they are all that compatible. I think you should explore both for a bit maybe 4-6mo on one then 4-6mo…
Hello Ciceto, I thinking the same way, modelling is the basic understanding when entering animation world just like my teacher said to me and another student. I started modelling with Maya for 2 weeks but when entered short term 3d class it changed to Max, because in my country Max has take over the industry. I have lot of…
I am a bit confused. When learning about drawing. Should i start to learn about figure drawing first and then to learn anatomy, or should i learn first anatomy? What do i need to know for figure drawing? Proportions? Any good books or tutorials about this, would be good if its step by step process. I've got some books from…
After having second thoughts. I decide to choose modeling and stick with it. I had enough trying to decide which one to focus. I think modeling and creating characters are more fun for me. Even my drawing and Anatomy skill are below 0.
