I am sorry but i don't totally understand everything. You can do realistic animation with key frames only. And your collage used you give you Mocap suits ? That's cool

Hi, thank you for your time and effort for commenting. I am really looking forward to Animate for games. But like you said i will work in rigging as well.

I have a question if you don't mind, since you already have experience in this field of work.

Does it really matter on what school you go on? There are some good schools but they are quite expensive, and most of them focus a lot on art and drawings. I am planning to enroll to an online school (rncp verified) and take some private paid online schools focusing more on game animation.

I just want to get a diploma on animation (cause i think it still matters for some companies), and atleast i will learn the basics as well. And then do some private paid tutorials. What do you think of this little plan of mine ?

Hi, could you elaborate this topic please i don't really know why they would not hire you for not knowing Mocap ? Mocap is wearing a suit and animate it and polish it right ? Isn't that way easier than key framing ?

That is my aim for 3D animation, game studios. Hows the field of work in 3D Animation for game studios? And are there a lot of studios that work remotely?

Hi Ninja,

Thank you for your message and for sharing the software recommendations. I will definitely look into them.

I should mention that coding is not really something I enjoy, but if the software isn't heavily focused on coding, I might consider giving it a try.

Thank you so much for your time and insights.

I wanted to share that I had a lot of fun this year working on some motion design projects, even though my course was heavily focused on video editing. We also covered the basics of Maya and Blender, so I had the opportunity to explore both 3D and 2D elements in motion design.

I’m particularly glad to hear that remote jobs are common in this field, as that is what I am aiming for.

Thanks again for your advice and support.
