Careers In Animation

When they were mentioning about Mater is:

  • Lighting and Shading
  • Artist
  • Layout Appearances
  • Inspired by Route 66 and Mater
  • Computer Animator
  • Voice Actor
  • Person who wrote the script
  • Audio Tech
The skills of animation in high school to the real world would be a great challenge. But, it will take time to develop as high professional as the PIXAR people. If I had choice to make a animation would be something familiar as Mater. Also, in order to enter in the animation it would be cool but don't think I am ready for things as those high animators. Including, having trouble in high school animation. This may be something would be thinking about.

Tutorial--What problems I had in order not to be finished? and learned?

The problem that I had that I could not finish it is because when it said to extrude...that I did only that the 3 arrows didn't appeared...what appeared is the selecting vertices just spread out. That made things complicated because I didn't know how to fix it. This made me not continue the tutorial on Step 12.

What I learned on this tutorial is to whenever you get stuck on one step is to ask for help. Also, to really really read the instructions even though it kind of explains it weird. But, to try to understand it as possible as you can. How to use extrude + G. This is what I learned.
