3D Animation at Uni
I was just wondering what people's thoughts on this were- I may be going to uni in a year and I've seen a few courses in 3D Animation. Who here learned their modelling/animating skills from university? I know there are at least a few people still at university. I can't model but I'm not totally un-informed about it, I… -
Re: 3D Animation at Uni
I agree with Dekard, unless you aim specifically for animation. If you want to be an 3D artist - environments and characters, best stick to art theory/fiine arts, you'll get a better understanding of what works. Something that I need to grasp. I completed an MSc in animation, it was challenging but something I could have… -

If you want to do animation, don't do a games course, do an animation course. Animation Mentor is pretty good. A friend of mine did it, an she learnt a crapload. -

i went to uni for animation. I couldnt draw shit when I came in. I can draw alright now. -
Re: 3D Animation at Uni
Hmm thanks, this gives me some clarity. I certainly understand the degree more now, and most likely won't go for it. I'm entirely useless with drawing skills which would have made life difficult anyway, as I have no experience with human anatomy or even shapes. -
Re: 3D Animation at Uni
I'd say for the most part unless you plan on going to VFS or Guild Hall, stay away from most of the game design programs, some are ok, but most aren't. Get a fine art degree and learn to model/texture/ 3d-ize stuff through tutorials and help via websites like this one. I also hear Spark is doing good things over at AI…
