damn, well...... um...i'm 26 married with 2 little boys, i worked for 6 years as an arborist (not certified) and the last 2 as a install tech for dish network. I got into computers when i was ten or so and i've been hooked ever since.... every thing i know is self taught, no courses or formal training ( i took the a+ basic and core test and paseed both with a 92...and never opened the study guide. I've been using maya for about a month now....strictly for artistic expression. i have no ambitions of a career with this stuff....it's no fun once it becomes work. oh yeah...i'm also a fantasy writer...nothing published but almost.......

p.s bunny....you know the guy from the village people??? the sailor?????.........that's 3dnut.....

he's also my brother.

yup it is max based, but I did everything in maya user added image

lecturers didnt really have a problem with it as i bought a student license, and could still apply most of the max sessions to maya anyway (same principals, different way of achieving it). no it isnt just games, or at least it wasnt last year. I guess with it being max based alot of the students are going to want to get into games as its just about the only part of the industry that still has a plenty of jobs going (at least down here), and the uni has a few links with games companys too.

I'd really think twice about applying there.. I mean its cool that its close to you and you got a mate there, but there are better unis. especially for 3D/animation. Bournemouth and teeside spring to mind user added image
