6/25 Has anyone attended Academy of Arts in SF? I would like to
know if this is a good school to go to in order to study
computer animation and modelling.
\_ my gf worked and took classes there for years. She decided
that it was NOT a good way to learn 3D and ended up taking
classes independently for a certificate with companies such
as "Mesmer". Note that AoA classes are NOT transferable to
other schools, nor do they teach you what you need to land
a real job or do your own sizeable project. Email me if you'd
like more details. -brain
\_ Magic cursed words: unaccredited school. As noted, you'd be
better off with one of the local comp. animation schools.
\_ Mesmer's offering a bunch of 1-5 day classes in the fall.
If I were to go with one, which package should I look into?
(alias, 3dsmax, softimage, maya)
\_ Maya is the program of choice in film. Max is still
leading in games, but Maya is a major contender. So
it depends on what you want to do with the knowledge.
The artists I know that have used both prefer Max.
Then again, most of the artists I know are in the game biz.
Ultimately, once you learn one, picking up another
isn't too big of a deal. -bz
\_ i think you should email wolberg@csua
\_ I love you Carrie! |
