Hi!

I am now at animation but I found out that it is rather boring doing it with a book. So I decided to buy a good video tutorial about animation. Are the gnomon workshop tutorials good for beginners? It seems they are a bit advanced.

Am not sure about the animation DVDs but I would presume they are not as advanced as the techy based ones like particles and scripting, so gnomon would probably be a good bet.

There are also some animation ones on this site you could take a look at.

I thought about buying this one: https://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/sto...A-Fundamentals

But I don't know if the Rigging is included?! It is just about animation isn't it?

It's only animation.

I would however not start as a beginner with Gnomon, they cater to farely experienced users and sometimes they forget to mention stuff or add a particular scene file .
And if you don't know how to animate johnkirschenbaums dvd's have a very high learningcurve.
The guy is what i saw from the dvd's a great animator, but because of his excellence he sometimes assumes you know stuff so the greatest animators don't always make the greatest teachers.

I don't know what the saying exactly was, but it was something like ;
those who can't do it , teach.

I have seen some briljant editors and animators who make briljant work, but if you put them in front of a classroom they don't know how to transfer the briliance .......sad irony user added image

that is what I was afraid of mastone user added image

I think I will start of with the simplymaya tutorials. I think the 6 in 1 Pack of this boxing somewhat isn't bad at all, isn't it?

But it doesn't cover the trax editor. Sometimes I feel, that some elementary stuff is not been told.

Sad but true.

And yeah, the Gnomon DVD's are advanced, but i wouldn't spend my money on anything other than tbh..... When you see the what level these people are at... you don't care if they don't describe all the details... you can probably fill in the blanks with Google, or a forum... but it's the technique, and how they use the different tools that makes them great.

But, that's just my opinion.
