Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Bristol has a great animation school at UWE if you wanna go that route. It's run in conjunction with Aardman studios I believe...I'm going to an open day tomorrow...Think I'll be oldest guy there at 32! user added image

Computer science.

If I didn't have an exam tomorrow I would probably go to that open day just out of curiosity (and in the hope of meeting someone from Aardman).

dunno how different things are over there to here, but i had a laptop and didn't really bring it with me to uni.
mostly because there's was always a computer around

if you did get a new laptop would you get a new macbook pro? i assume you'd be sticking with apple... expensive... but on the plus side they will boil your water for you with their 107ºc temperature

wouldn't bother with an ipad, it runs the iphone OS, so you can't load any proper apps onto it, it'd be more useful if you weren't doing computer science.




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

I would have bought a macbook pro but they are really expensive, so the more I think about it, the less likely it is I'll buy one, especially since it doesn't look like I'll actually need one. Even when compared to the imac they are really expensive.

I have an abacus you could borrow, not much use but looks uber retro cool man.

bahahahaha

I would wait until you actually see where you are going first mate, then make a decision once you ascertain what the environment is like and as chirone said if you really need one?

cheers bullet

PS yes they are all expensive mate so choose wisely. If you dont need one, money saved.
