Studying to be: 3D Artist/Animator

I'm in 12th grade studying to be a 3D Artist/Animator. I have been using Maya Unlimited, on a Mac, for over 2 years. I‘m an intermediate modeler and I have a little bit of experience with rigging and animating. I use Photoshop for my texturing, with a graphics tablet.

In the future, I plan on learning the advanced features of Maya (such as hair, fluid, dynamics, etc.). I also plan on learning ZBrush (whenever ZB3 comes out on Mac…), Vue xStream, and Shave and a Haircut for Maya.

I’m currently learning Japanese and I’m hoping to attend college at IADT for a BFA in Game Design.

About the site:

When I created this site, I started using Adobe Flash to make 2D artwork and animations. After a while of trying some new things, I messed around with some 3D apps, until I found Maya. I then decided to switch over to studying 3D. Now that I have learned the basics of 3D, I will be learning advanced things in the future (dynamics, hair, fur, unbiased rendering, sculpting, etc.).

What kind of computer do you use?

I use a Power Mac G5. Here are the tech specs:

Leopard icon Mac OS X 10.5
G5 icon Dual G5 2 GHz
•2.5 GB of DDR SDRAM
•64 MB of ATI Radeon 9600 Pro VRAM
•22" Widescreen LCD monitor (DVI)

What applications do you use?

Here are most of the applications I use for my work:

Maya icon Autodesk Maya Unlimited
Photoshop icon Adobe Photoshop Extended
Illustrator icon Adobe Illustrator
Flash icon Adobe Flash Professional

What is Maya?

If you haven't noticed yet, Maya Unlimited is an all-in-one 3D application. In fact, it is called the best 3D package out there. It is made by Autodesk.
