Re: Help starting a new subteam
Well, to get started you need interested people, software, and knowledge of the program you are using. Once you have people dedicated to doing animation, you need to get the software and learn it.
To get the software, students.autodesk.com has all of their software for free to use be students. A great place for tutorials on both 3DS MAX and Maya is area.autodesk.com and curriculum.autodesk.com. For videos for total beginners to experts, go here. http://area.autodesk.com/channels. From there you can choose your software.
The way I learned 3DS MAX was by sitting down and taking the basic tutorials so I didn't feel totally lost and then just played with it for about 2 hours. That was about 2 years ago. Over the summer, I've been working on my own movie just for the learning process and to keep my skills up to date. I am in the process of learning Maya right now too but from what I can tell, 3DS MAX is more user-friendly (at least for me).
