Let the 3-dimensional journey begin
So for the past couple of years I’ve really become more and more fascinated with 3D art…more specifically 3D animation.
I’ve decided to officially jump in and start learning things. Maya (one of the industry standard 3d apps) has a cool setup with a free “personal learning edition” version of their software that is full-featured and just puts watermarks on your output images/movies. This setup is perfect for a guy like me who is testing the waters.
My plan is to post here as I learn more including tips, designs, thoughts etc. It’s been pretty hard to find info on exactly how to get in to doing 3d modeling and animation so hopefully these posts will be beneficial to others.
So, what are the first things I’ve done?
- Joined CGSociety and started asking questions
- Downloaded Maya PLE and went through their “Getting Started” tutorials
- Purchased Learning Autodesk Maya so I could really get a solid foundation of knowledge on the subject
I’ll be posting helpful links related to 3D stuff here.
Wish me luck! And if you have any tips/advice, post them in the comments. I’m all ears.
