Re: Animation - Which path should I Take?
If you're looking for a job as an animator, I'd say that you should focus purely on the animation. With that in mind, it shouldn't really matter what character models you choose, as long as you can show a good range of rigging skills.

Re: Animation - Which path should I Take?
Cheers MoP I was hoping that would be the case with the normal maps. I still want to learn them but after your advice its not quite as urgent now. John - I downloaded that video and have saved it.
