why am i so indecisive

[rtil]

yeah, that's another thing they fixed in my school recently. we have a 3ds max certified teacher here, but he's not an animator - he's an architect. it was a nightmare when he tried to teach us character animation 2 years ago. then another teacher who worked at suckerpunch studios was like 'uh, sup guys, nobody uses 3dsmax in the game/animation field', and the school is slowly switching over to maya. the packages are really different and it's not healthy for people to go straight into the industry having no maya experience, because they'll only give you a week or two to pick it up.

one thing you will probably like about this school is that your junior/senior year you can collab with programmers and make games

[shittyfurryass]

I have this option of going to a college where its just a one year intensive course of classical animation and then you get your diploma and make your reel. You get to work with other students as you go along, like voice actors, sound guys, witters, etc. So the collaborative experience is great, but the tuition is high and one year go through the whole thing seems like a lot of work crammed into a small amount time.

Also, I will be only learning 2d mediums. Is having some knowledge of 3d animation important even though the main objective is 2d?

only one year? that's not enough. also, the more you know the better. so yes it's good to know 3d.

my course is 2 years. but they squish an extra year into those 2 years. so its 3 years crammed into 2, which means more work in less time.

I looked into it a bit. They put into nicer words but basically they throw in a lot of work into one year.

sounds like a bad idea if you ask me. my first year was hard enough as it was. i can't imagine extra years being crammed into it. doesn't really give you enough time to soak it all in

[Blordow]
