Week 1 I have downloaded blender and have started to dabble in the program by making shapes and adding colour and texture to the shapes. As well as installing Maya tho i am yet to start using Maya.

Personal Development Plan This is my blog dedicated to me setting and monitoring my progression towards my desired job which is animation in 2D or 3D. I would like to aim towards university to further my career in animation. Requirements : 104 UCAS points and 64 points from two A levels or BTEC equivalent. GCSE English and maths at C or above or a grade 4 or above.  As well as a portfolio of my best work to show my abilities.  Where I will be studying 2D and 3D animation from stop motion to digital and create storyboards. Short targets: Improve my communication skills. Make a good CV. Get a part time job (if possible related to the course) Long term targets: Attempt to start using some animation software (maya/blender) Try to achieve the best grades possible on the course Activities: get used to maya or blender to get a grasp of animation and how 3D animation is done as well as creating 3D models. I plan to achieve these targets by g...
