[ QUOTE ] If you want to go back to the roots of animation go back and draw on film. And surely you can barge into 3D animation without 2D knowledge, there are plenty of easy to use setups you can download for free for all major animation packages.

[ QUOTE ] hey wester. Im going to be an arse and not give any crits since this isn't my thing and anything I have to say would proberly be wrong.

Squash and stretch is a prinicple of animation which has nothing to do exclusively with 2D. 2D and 3D (both traditional aswell as digital) are media and while the workflow differs for each, it's all animation and the principles apply to all of them (to whatever degree you find it necessary to consciously apply 'principles'…

The principles are the same for all mediums of animation including stopmotion Haven't had a chance to look at your anim as I'm at work and can't view youtube here, I'll take a look at lunch though and drop you…
[ QUOTE ] Wester, I came from a traditional animation background which hammered into our minds the exact idea that fundamentals drive everything else. My own take is this - drawing in general is extremely important. Being able to control a writing instrument on a 2D surface is important both in concepting future 3D works…
