Originally posted by Perfecto I've read over and over again (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but studying 2d animation is very useful, even though you'll be doing 3d animation. I work with a girl who studied traditional animation, she is great at 2D animation and worked on some tv shows. however she really struggles with 3D. She feels it is much harder to go from 2D to 3D, because there are more dimensions to consider. She finds it difficult to animate in maya because she gets focused on one perspective, and forgets about the look from other angles.
