Good Day All,
At 69 years old, I have decided I want to learn how to be a 3D computer-based animator for fun and profit! My current plan is to first learn/develop my basic animation skills in 2D via Cartoon Animator 4 and then migrate onward to 3D via Iclone. Before I spend any serious money (defined by me as anything over $100 bucks) on developing my 2d animation skills, I've become conflicted. Is the best path to becoming a viable 3D animator to go through the 2D "curriculum" first? Or would I be better-served diving straight into the 3D Iclone pool? Any advice from folks that know much more about computer-based animation than I do?
Thanks in advance for your input!
