January 4 was the big day. I finally started AM. I decided to do the Maya Springboard class first to fill in any significant gaps in my knowledge of Maya, to lose any bad habits, and to help develop a better work flow. As suspected, this class will be far less demanding then the future classes. The 1st 4 weeks will be orientation stuff, and then from week 4, it's orientation plus Maya Springboard content. The syllabus looks interesting and I'm keen to get stuck into it.
I've met some of my class mates, and we have a nice diverse range. I think AM'll be a pretty fun time, though when the busier times come I'll have to shut myself off the world a little. Good thing is that I have some other regular weekly stuff going on (work, piano lessons, church, etc) so I won't be completely blocked off and can still have a study-work-life balance :)
In the mean-time while I wait for week 4, I plan to continue reading the recommended animation books, doing Jason Ryan tuts, trying my hand at some more simple animation exercises, and just prepping in general. I also hope to keep this blog fairly visual - so will post some of my drawings and exercises that I haven't had the time to yet, and hereafter will attempt to post visuals as I go along.
