Re: Phatty's Animation Thread
Cool, nice to see you back into it and kicking off with the basics! It looks like its helped quite a bit. NICE! I really like it. It's harder than it seems isn't it heh. I'd call this good practice but not really something you should toss in a reel. - The wheel rotates oddly at some points, there are scripts and math that… -

Re: Work/Education Balance?
Its up to you, but reading through it I would make a high bet against you making it in the game industry. Its not about you not being able to learn it, its about betting on all the other people that are dedicated to the profession and the limited amount of jobs there are.

People need to be able to feel that its theirs too, but you DO need somebody calling the shots.…
