Ok guys, maybe you can help? I've really been looking into all parts of the industry and have really grown fond of character animation. I'll admit that there are things I enjoy a great deal about modeling and texturing, however, I know I have to buckle down and really be proficient in one area, I think it's gonna be animation. There's something about bringing something to life in motion that doesn't ever bore me or make me feel like I'm crunching numbers.
In any case, I plan on evolving my abilities through XSI, seeing as that I have a single license I can call all my own with Softimage, I have some personal projects I'd like to follow through on.
So, I'm sure everyone would agree, the best way to learn about something is to dive 110% into it. Now, I was wondering if there will be any volunteers to model, texutre & rig characters that I provide (concept art and all required sketches I will provide). Keep in mind, it won't be anything intense, polycount will be very low and textures will be simple. I will award all the credits to those involved. You see, I do plan on using these same models in my own movie shorts.
WIll admit it sounds like fun being able to do it all, and perhaps one day I will, but, I need to eat now! lol
I believe this approach will allow me to learn what I want at a fast pace!
Thanks for your time!
