Actually it wasnt- this thread is about starting your animation early- not showing it off. Just because its in the animation section of the forum- doesn't mean anything goes- thats why there is a menu of threads in the beginning

Now for the real post-

Its obviously a great Idea to get as much software time when learning 3D. Most of you can get a jump on some of the more advanced tutorials, try some special effects, work on lighting techniques, etc. Check out 3Dcafe.com and the3dstudio.com for help if you get through all your other tutorials.

As far as the actual animation, I think its only fair to wait to next year when all the software ships. This way you dont have an unfair advantage over a bran new team. Ofcourse, theres nothing to stop you from using models and textures from a previous animation (which could be your off season animation).

Practice, Practice, Practice.
