Blender just released the alpha version of 2.5 . 2.5 is supposed to revamp the interface of blender to be easier to learn. Blender is capable of lots of things but it has the interface from hell.

Ohhh nice.. Yeah I always had trouble with the interface. I tried to make a basic item of specific dimensions and decent acuracy and gave up lol. I'm sure if I spent more time I could figure it out. Knowing they're revamping it is good to hear. I really want to get into high def animation some day. Not pixar style or anything, but something half decent.

lol yeah. The teacher found it funny because we were actually trying to make it super cheesy while everybody in the class was struggling to make something half decent, and we had the best one.

We had access to all sort of apps but chose to stick with MS paint for all graphics.

What were the other ones like?

i didnt have a chance to peek at them all, but nice work. back in 2000 i got a degree in DAP with a double in game design theory. i wish i had kept up with the animation part, but i already had an industrial programming job that paid almost double the starting salary for anything i could find in animation at the time. if lightwave and 3dsmax had been in a price range i could actually afford id have gotten them out of school.

I am just ending school in Arizona at University of Advancing Technology. Major is BA in 3D Art and Animation.

I am starting an internship at AZ Virtual Studios in January and then I'll be graduated.

Sweet! I would say the best advice for attending a school like UAT is to work way hard outside of classes because one will never learn what they need to learn with the designated class time. In other words, one has to really dedicate themselves to their major to stand out from the crowd.

Got any work you can show since you graduated?
