So it begins..

blog 17 December 2009 | View Comments

We humans dabble with many things during our lifetime in the name of happiness and rarely do we ever find something that leaves us with nothing but a glowing smile at the end of the day. For this entity, animation brushes my cheeks with that red warmth. The only bad part is I forgot how to do most of it! Ha

Back in the early 2000’s, ya know the days of the Back Street Boys and all. I attended an art school pursuing a degree that encompassed all areas of digital and traditional art. I never did finish but for a good reason outside of horrible tuition. In summary, an opportunity arose that I could not pass up but I’ll save that story for another day.

Today I embark on journey to learn Autodesk Maya 2009 (3D Animation Software) over the next 6 months and release a animated short 8 months from now. The book I will be starting out with is entitled “Introducing Maya 2009″ by Dariush Derakhshani.

Dariush Derakhshani is a creative director and head of CG for Radium|ReelFX. Needless to say he has been in the industry for a long time and has plenty of experience. I plan to learn from his experiences depicted in this book over the next 3 weeks.

Goodbye halcyon nights.

  • thanks man for letting me stop in and use the wifi! helped a lot.

    alright, i was going to take a look at hacking my own disqus CSS but thought I would ask first.

    here's what i want to build:

    a google.com style theme for my disqus comments on breckyunits.com/code/

    In other words, all I want it to show is:

    commenter_name comment_date/how_long_ago

    comment

    and then, when the user hovers over the div, everything else fades in a la the new Google.com.

    Has this been done before? If not, I'll give it a whirl.

    Thanks!
