School

Im just curious. How many of you are in school or went to school for 3d animation design?

[3D Joe Wiltshire]

I'm in school at the moment... not an animation specific one or anything, high school.

I went to school for Graphic Design but there were a few classes to introduce me to 3d modeling, but they didn't touch animation.

When I went to school 3D CGI and animation was the exclusive domain of very high end computers, with astronomical price tags, and was produced by a very few studios worldwide who could afford such hardware.  Movies like Tron and The Last Starfighter came out while I was in school, and the only computers our school had were a couple of IBM office machines and a bank of Commodore 64's.  I did learn graphic design and communication at high school, but it was entirely non-computerised, cartridge paper, Rotring pens and set squares being the order of the day.

 Nope.   
 Easiest, cheapest option where i live is learn yourself.
 Pick stuff up from trial/error and internet.

 Would need to move a hundred miles away and pay big money for 3D modelling/animation school.

 Mind you, would've saved a lot of wasted time, frustration, and silly mistakes, if i had been taught some basic ins and outs at the beginning.
  lol.

I'm currently in high school, I intend to do a CGI related course in university, or just go to the online university Animation Mentor.
Same as johnar, taught my self, I'm sure every CG artist I know did the same.

[im not a people person73]

i'm in middle school,and i have an artistic background even before i was interested in animation and cg.i'm planning on taking online tutorials to save money when i actually do go to classes for this area.(for those in the east erie township and are not in high school already i'm certain collegiate academy high has cgi courses designated for the robotics classes)

I home school.

But if I go to college, (which I want to) Full Sail university, man!

Actually, I'd like to go to my favorite university... But the name of it remains a secret...
