3D Modeling is the most difficult of anything within multimedia. The computer application we used in class is NewTek's LightWave 3D and is the standard for 3D modeling and animation. You can create work that is more astonishing than anything else in other fields of multimedia. Because of this, it is astoundingly difficult to create artwork. The learning curve is steep and the program is more intimidating than other software. I took the 3D Modeling & Animation class out at Butte College three times and got to where I had a pretty good handle on the software. The problem for me was it took entirely too long to get my ideas to working artwork on the computer. It really enjoyed the class because once you finished something, or even progressed enough, it was very rewarding because of all the time spent. |
