Re: Any modelers learning animation?
Animation would be that part of the game development that would drive me back to work as a lawyer... love good animations as the next guy, but I hate animating myself... I guess animations are really far more technical than people think. At the end of the day its physics. You get a part of the body starting a movement and… -
Re: Any modelers learning animation?
I was an animator for about 3 years. When I started in 3d there was no such thing as a specialist modeler. If you couldn't animate you weren't competent. Of course few people back then could animate at the level of skill a senior animator today has. -
Re: Any modelers learning animation?
Hey Ruz, sup man? I renamed your thread, try to bring in more like minds. Was just "animation". I've dabbled, and enjoyed it.

Re: Any modelers learning animation?
Currently working as a technical artist / animator and I love it. I worked as a modeler-only for years. Started learning rigging and animation a few years back. I think it's changed my workflow in the modeling part quite a bit. I pay much more attention to topology and how things work in general. The rigging plays a bigger… -
Re: Any modelers learning animation?
Ever since I joined Polycount, I've been trying to post some animated 3D models from time to time. But because animation is it's own beast (look at the Disney Book: 12 Principles of animation. Or Richard William's The Animator's Survival Kit. It's a very complex subject), I put it aside until I made more 3D models and… -
Re: Any modelers learning animation?
Hi! I'm a 3D modeller. On my personal projects i tend to animate my models just for fun and practice. I find the animation pretty interesting and.. easay in a way. I'm not an animator but from time to time i get to see animation portfolios and there are few things that are really popping out to me. First thing is the… -
Re: Any modelers learning animation?
