Re: Web Development
I can't help you on the Maya front. I am glad that you are thinking seriously about what you want to do. There's nothing wrong with being a little indecisive, especially at your young age. But you seem to have already invested a lot into 3D modeling. It's true that animation is quite a bit different from just standard… -
Re: Web Development
You do not need an abundance of "the maths" to animate 3D models. It never hurts to know more of "the maths," but it certainly is not a requirement for professional animation. It is true that a lot of major universities lump their 3D animation department under their more technical disciplines. Some of the best schools for… -
Re: Web Development
Thanks for all the insight and detailed posts. I'm very unsure now but I would like to thank Malus for his personal message to me. I started doing 3D Art when I was twelve, jumped to animation just a month ago and that didn't work out for technical reasons. This really suprised me because I wanted to do animation...I just… -
Web Development
After many thoughts on the matter I have decided to take my future into another realm, Web Design. I have always had website design in the back of my head ever since I was a 'wee lad' and I've decided to go in that direction. It has caused great confusion among my parents by switching from 3D art, to animation and then… -
Re: Web Development
Until we know what you're trying to work with in maya, it's hard to say. I'd stick with the 11 second club characters if you just want to learn to animate. Don't get too far down the rabbit whole of rigging etc which is more of a technical animator/rigger route anyway. Just worry about getting the right feeling and weight… -
Re: Web Development
@ Taylor... Web developement and web design is very different so be very careful with the school you pick. If you want to be a good web developer you need to be able to do programming. Being able to do art is with in those limitations is a bonus. Web design, well is sort of like graphic design, full of people. You don't… -
Re: Web Development
I am what is called in the bizzzzz, a super duper generalist. Tons of flash. 2d animation, 3d animation, illustration, vector illustration and animation, flash game design. Graphic design in all it's happy forms of course. We do lots of flash banners, flash adver-games, print, website design, and kinds of random viral ad… -
Re: Web Development
so this switched from: 3d artist > 2d animator > web site designer > maya tech thread -
Re: Web Development
I think the bubble may have already burst on web development. A good avenue to persue would be animation or rigging, might be up your alley. Good animators are hard to find and you're at a point in your life where you can devote a lot of time to it. Just something to think about. -
Re: Web Development
Seriously. There's way more money in that than in laying out web pages, especially if you can handle some of the programming as well as the animation. *edit* FWIW, salaries in the industry. Vanilla graphic design gigs pay the least. Jobs that emphasize 'multimedia' or 'interactive' are Flash/rich media gigs. The more…
