AnimationMentor Starts


I finally got access to AnimationMentor. I was able to log in on the 18th,

Run away!

Run away!

but it was not to the full website; just a limited orientation site, but yesterday it finally opened up. And let me tell you it was worth the wait. I have got fellow students in my class from all around Europe and South Africa. My current Mentor in the Basic Foundations program is Ruth Daly, who have worked on The Iron Giant and Futurama for TV. I’m really excited and tomorrow we get to met her in the Live Q & A!
So now my headset is ready and my microphone is working as good as it gets. Hopefully I don’t come out as a complete idiot.
Even though there are no deliveries for this week we got a simplified version of the manikin-like rig “Stewie” called Stu, (without the extra wie,) on which we can play around with poses.

This is about me just kind of laying my previous animation knowledge behind me and starting over; really getting in there from the basics and working myself, (not back but,) up into a better animator that I was before.
I like their philosophy as well; “There is no BEST animator” And I can only look upon my two years at Noroff as a trail and error phase, I can’t say that it was a complete wast of time; I learned a lot and I got even more sure that I wanted to be an animator.



Back to 3DDA


During 3DDA I did some stuff that I have yet to upload in OK quality. So I’ll do it in this post, note that this work is almost over two years old. And back then I had no experience with animation or anything, so I’m happy with some of this work :)

Of course there is more but this post is getting rather long and I cannot upload everything on my server. There may be something else on my Youtube account.
