I'm what your father doesn't want you to end up being. So I'll try to bestow upon you my mistake-driven wisdom of the higher education system... 1. do the college requirements also count schools like full sail or gnomon? You don't have to take a language or anything like that, if that's what you mean. But you should…

Hahaha - same!... with the exception .. that I am an animator - or hope to be! I just got it now... I have thrown 10 bucks after less, though, so it's no harm. *breaking my tradition of using trials and student versions forever* edit: welp the end-of-sale times sure are generous
Every second of your free time should be put in 3D atm. You life should be sleep, eat, work 3D, take a break from screen, nothing else. That's how you get better as a student, by spending every second of your "free time" working on your portfolio.
Yea 3D artists can make just about anything :D i like doing animations more then modeling but both are fun. I just better at animation then modelling but with practice my modeling with get better. Still a college student so i got lots to improve on still
Coming from a current university student, I regret everything. Everything that Ceebee said but get a standard job aswell to pay for it all. Look for intern ships too around the area. 3 years Experience > Degree. Don't treat it as a gimmicky job, it's hard work and eventually good pay.
Also gotta compare not just the cost of extra schooling to become a doctor, but also whether if someone started working 4 years earlier, invested lots of money, what kind of returns they could get vs. someone that has tons of student loans and starts saving money years later.
What do you mean both your projects have been for students? You're not completing class assignments for them, are you? With regards to what you've posted here, I think you could really work on your cloth sculpting and how clothing/items interact with the character's body.
Cool, thanks guys very insightful, looks like we are in the clear then maybe. I will relay the information to the students. @Gmanx, "vantage point hot-spots" great idea maybe a little fly through as well like this but that might be a little discombobulating? for want of a better word :) [vv]117393117[/vv]
Thank you Amsterdam Hilton Hotel for answering my questions! Now I understand why the school I will be attending require a portfolio as part of the student selection process. Now I got a pretty good idea for what I need to spend my time on. Appreciate your help!
