Re: Self Taught or Animation School?
that's a lot of different fields eh.. "animation school" is a word that makes me puke, as they usually focus 98% on modeling and texturing (and the results..) and never really have anything to do with animation. but it seems like you want to do a ton of stuff at once.. a large number of people here at polycount are awesome… -
Re: Self Taught or Animation School?
Ah, thanks for the genuine response! Yeah, to be honest I'm not entirely sure what's covered in Animation courses. I'm more interested in the character / concept design as I said, much more than making animations themselves and I probably should've mentioned that. The problem is, I don't think there are any specific art… -
Re: Self Taught or Animation School?
i did animation mentor and if you want to be an animator, you won´t be dissapointed regarding the investement. However, ianimate is a bit cheaper and i heard alot of good things there. I was selftaught myself before am and had to say that am opened my eyes for the art of animaiton :) -
Re: Self Taught or Animation School?
My two cents as someone who just finished a degree in Architecture and was enrolled on Animation Mentor right up until the last minute when I had a change of heart (and lack of funds!) and dropped out. My advice is this. Follow your heart. Dont think about job opportunities, don't think about how much time you may need to… -
Self Taught or Animation School?
Edit: As many people have rightfully mentioned I've wrongly attributed my interests in concept art and character design to fitting with an animation course when I should have said fine arts or traditional art, I'm so sorry about that. I'm two weeks away from finishing High School (Australia) and I'm up in the air about… -
Re: Self Taught or Animation School?
Thanks for your response. I do very much look at polycount for inspiration, a lot of the work is the cutting edge of things I've seen (particularly the Brawl contest entries, many were awe inspiringly awesome). I'm sorry about the mixed message thing. I now see my flaw and understand that animation and concept art /… -
Re: Self Taught or Animation School?
iAnimate.net Ive heard people like it better because you get to talk to your mentors in live sessions, where as animationmentor.com, its all pre-recorded. you dont need hardly any experience with animation. just enough that you know how to set key frames and stuff. but the founder of the site has free tutorials that walk… -
Re: Self Taught or Animation School?
Thanks. I'm sorry I didn't look into those links before! I'm going to take a break after my tests are done to sit down and sort of, digest everything. Once again I need to apologise about my misconstruing animation courses to my personal interests, you're correct about the traditional art part. And in terms of the… -
Re: Self Taught or Animation School?
I am getting mixed messages here. You say you want to do concept art but also asking about animation school? If you want to do concept art then you need to study fine arts at school or on your own. For instance, Paul Richards is a world class concept artist and is completely self taught. Art schools can give you the… -
Re: Self Taught or Animation School?
You seem to be lumping a lot under the "animation" umbrella which is one specific discipline inside of game development. It sounds like you enjoy traditional art more than studying motion and making things move? So I would explore the various disciplines inside the industry a bit more. I wrote up some quick descriptions a…
