Re: 3D animation course?
Several Animators here, including my girlfriend, graduated from AnimationMentor. Speaking as someone who was able to sit behind her during her lectures and critiques, Animation Mentor is absolutely amazing. I was amazed at the big name talent who would take a few months off to teach at Animation Mentor for a few semesters.… -
Re: 3D animation course?
AM > Digipen at least when it comes to animation. Programing digipen trumps just about everything out there. I have a friend that is the chair of physics at digi and he even says the bang for the buck isn't there for animation students. The program for modeling, materials, animation at Digipen pretty much fell apart a few… -
Re: 3D animation course?
Thanks for all your replies guys. I think his goal for learning animation is leaning more towards films and performance animation right now. He is finishing up his AA at a community college right now and weighing his options on where to go next. He seems pretty stoked about that AM place. As for the price, he was… -
3D animation course?
Hey, I know of Futurepoly for an accelerated modeling/concept course, but I'd like to know if anyone knows of a similar course for 3D animation? A buddy of mine is interested in a course like this :P Thanks! -
Re: 3D animation course?

Re: 3D animation course?
I know some amazing animators who went through the animation mentor online course. http://www.animationmentor.com/ Very high end calibre instructors. Pixar/WETA/Disney/ILM... I think the focus is on performance animation, and will likely require knowledge of a medium before taking the course.… -
Re: 3D animation course?
I went to Digipen, and while I feel like I got a lot for the money... I still want to do animation mentor -
Re: 3D animation course?
and the ironic part about this bit is that I've heard of several animation (film/shorts) houses that won't even LOOK at an applicant unless they HAVE completed AM.. regardless of whether they will or wont its dumb to not consider someone without at least looking at their stuff.. -
Re: 3D animation course?
In this case, I honestly believe the people who enter this program get what they pay for. But yeah, the emphasis is performance animation. In games you primarily need to have a solid understanding of timing, weight, and silhouette. A large portion of game animators end up cleaning up MoCap. -
Re: 3D animation course?
Reason I posted that in this thread( or threw my 2cents as you may call it) is because digital tutors've been around for few years now and I just came to know about animation mentor this thread ago. With their success stories or stories in general, they do look promising. But You will pay 10k to the AM and provide your own…
