You never forget how to do this stuff because its all so repetitive. Just have to concentrate on one thing at a time. Usually most artists start with modeling to uv mapping to texturing to lighting to animation to rendering to final composite. From what more...

With Blender, I'm actually finding it easier than I expected. It really appeals to the sculptor in me so I'm finding myself relating to the interface well. Plus I already have some animation background, so it's probably a little easier for me to get more...

Gotta love open source

Cool! I use 3D Invigorator for After Effects but it completely bogs down my system. It is fairly simple to use though.

Understandable. These programs are memory hogs...and you gotta SLOP 'em!

I have Blender and I have no idea how to use it.. O_o

The SECOND book is called:

"Introducing Character Animation With Blender" by Tony Mullen. It cost me only a mere $40.00. It focuses primarily and constructing and animating CG characters.

BOTH books I list here come with CD-ROM's! SO yo ucan do exercises more...

I know my way around Cinema 4D but, like you, I tried Maya and it didn't work out so well.. :P

You need a book. No way around it.Here are the only two books I have found on using Blender:

"The Essential Blender" Edited by Roland Hess. You can probably find it through the Blender Foundation at Blender(dot)org. This is the book from which I'm working more...

Looks like you're off to a great start...that is, if any of that is what you meant to do, haha.

Hey, if it looks cool, I'm happy! But the book I'm using got me started right off the bat. That "Molecule" exercise was Chapter 2. That second clip was just me farting around improvisationally from what I had learned from the molecule. That's how more...

cool. where did u get this program?

Posted May 14, 08 by BaronDixon
I actually sorta got it by accident. I was looking to get AUDACITY, and I was offered 3 additional programs that would be sent to me on disks. One was simply called "Animation Studio" and I thought it was gonna be some kind of simple GIF animation more...

LOL seeing by yoiur earlier comment that I am not the only one who learns how to do something then forgets..I have tried a few 3d animators, I never seem to get anywhere, probably a lack of instructions.
I enjoyed this Baron, Ilook forward to some more more...

Posted May 14, 08 by BaronDixon
Yeah, with 3D modeling programs, you gotta have instructions. No getting around them. Blender is relatively new and I have only found TWO books on it--and I have both of them. The books are both written very much like a "For Dummies" book, as if the more...

It is cool to see the" experimental doodleings of a master artist.

Posted May 14, 08 by BaronDixon
Well, Yoda, MOST of what I do is "experimental doodlings." LOL. I just try to make them look intentional when I can. But yeah, this is a whole new pencil for me to doodle with. The main thing is getting used to the interfacte that allows you to move more...
