i'm gonna try to learn a new app (new to me) instead - autodesk's maya. it's basically a 3d modeling and rendering program and supposedly the best among all the ones geared towards cgi animation (avatar
, anyone?). the best thing about it, of course, is that it has a version for mac. i can play with it at home. so i downloaded the trial app and i have a month to learn it. the objective is to have a working knowledge of the system and processes, enough to do simple photorealistic 3d renderings, before the trial expires. the problem is that it's notoriously difficult to learn - which is exactly what i'm gonna say if i don't have anything to show after a month's time. that, or that i got sidetracked by all the other things i wanted to do in the first place. we'll see.
***above is a screen capture of the maya website. i am not in any way affiliated with them. unless of course they want me to be. in which case they can always send me a full copy of the app. hello? anybody there?
