also could u please name a few good institutes where i can not only learn various softwares but also improve my drawing skills....please reply...

I have gone through with your query and agree that if u want to be a sucessfull animator you need to be an artist rather than merely knowing softwares as you should know a good animator is a good artist. Before you decide for a institute consider the facts like their approach (software focussed or creativity), training methodology (project oriented or theoritical/practical), faculties if any hanlded hollywood projects, placements % do check appointment letters. I can suggest you to visite the website www.picasso.co.in (http://picasso.co.in)

I think the career of an animator totally depend on the creativity and conceptualization. No institute can train you just creativity can take you the no. 1 position and don't be confused its a great career ahead in INDIA

Hi dnaidu1982 !!!:)


To jump into animation - u should learn the softwares like 3ds max, Maya, motion builder.




i can guarantee, this direction will definetly not help. learning softwares will never help. learn the ART not the softwares

[sweetlikeneem]

yes definately,
al you need to be a good animation professional is an aptitute towards it.
as far my experiences goes, you can learn any thing so don't worry whether you are a good drawing artist or no.
what i learnt from graphiti School, they always say learn the conepts as learning a software is no big deal, but when your basucs are right. you can apply it to any thing.

they have also started specilisation course for Modeling, Rigging, Lighting, Animation, texturing, . i would suggest you go an talk to them .

thanks a lot for all ur valuable suggestions...............i have a question...along wth animation i would also like to do MBA.so will it really help me in the long run?......if yes ,will it be possible for me to do both the courses at the same time or should i first complete my animation course and then go for an MBA degree..........plz reply.........
