Well.....My animation professor is Humberto Lopez.

And I haven't really looked at DMAC
will definately check it out.
RIght know I have the Florida Bright Futures scholarship which covers 75% of my tuition. If I can use that there, then i ill take it into MAJOR consideration.
That's really my priority. I am putting myself through school with that and a full time job lol
I really want to get the most out of maya....especially since it is mostly a male dominated career.
Anyway thanks for the info!!

BTW please check my attepmpt at a character WIP thread....i would love to get TONS of feedback from you guys seeing as though schoo isn't really the best resource for me.
Again thanks a lot guys!!
