I am from Calcutta within few days my perception changed a bit.
Let me elaborate about my interests.
My interests is ANIMATION AS A WHOLE, but visualization and creating story boards are also included.I am interested more to the conceptual part than the technical part.
I can draw but I am not an artist, yes I can illustrate but mostly through rough sketches.
My disinterests are:
Scripting, 3D modelling (though I can do it.... but the process is extensively lengthy....in 3D max)
My QUESTIONS ARE:
1)What softwares do I need to know for becoming an animator?
2) What animators do? Do they have to be a very good artist?
3) How does 3D animation works when the motion capture is used??
4) Say in flash according to my interest I don't like the scripting part but how much do I need to know of A SOFTWARE? I need to revise so tell me which part should I stress the most????
IT WILL BE KIND ENOUGH IF I CAN GET SPECIFIC ANSWERS:o . IF I CAN GET THE ANSWERS OF THESE QUESTIONS THEN I WILL BE VERY GRATEFUL.
RIGHT NOW I AM VERY PUZZLED AND COULD NOT FOLLOW A PARTICULAR DIRECTION BECAUSE I FOUND NO RELIABLE INFORMATION ON THIS FIELD.
Softwares that I have interest in: PHOTOSHOP, FLASH, TOOM BOOMS., AFTER EFFECTS, FREEHAND, 3D MAX AND MAYA.
