Hi

I am 46 year old guy who has just kicked off a great career in search of pursuing my 'dream' - art and animation. I am now looking at enrolling in a full time course for Maya and 3DS. I was told its better to do both to get a good understanding of animation and architecture.

I also had a brief exposure to art when I was small but I think I still have it in me.

Two questions:

a. Is it good to try both 3DS and Maya? Is there any thing else I should focus on?

b. What are my chances in suceeding in this venture?
