woah... where did you take that course? Also, how would you rate the place you went to?(good, bad, worth it, not worth it)

after i graduate from high school nexed year, i want to take some sort of course for maya(possibly on the opposite side of the country at gnomon).. so im just trying to figure out where alot of people go to take maya courses.
:wow: :bgreen:

I took my course at the Internatioanl Academy of Design in Toronto Canada I know there is a few Academy od design schools in the US also. Its was pretty good they teach all the aspects of animation and post production you would learn all the basics than its pretty much up to you to get good at what areas intrests you the most. I was worth it for me I love 3D animation Aaand MAYA. I was also a teachers assistant for a bit after I graduated.

Thanks for the nice words guys!!!!!!!!!! Makes me feel good, that im moving in the right track toward my goals.

I'll try and have his feet done up today, well at least started.I plan on putting as much detail as I can on the model with out relaying on textures as much.

Then im going to make a digital illustration of some sorts with my little boy being harrassed by the big guy)


Thanks again for all the support
