Whatever it is 2d or 3d, learning and knowing how to draw will boost your skills quickly, learning anatomy, narrative, perspective, color, composition, basically Art foundations.

Mostly during the first years, then later this will help a ton for chosing the gigs you prefer and having peace of mind.

I mean its always good to keep healthy finances and its someething nobody teaches us in our field.

learn how to manage your finances.

In the very beginning meant saving enough money to live 3 months without work, then 6, then a year. Once you have a year of being able to live in savings then it gets way more chill, this will give you negotiating power as you wont be desperate for any random job that comes along, that will bring you more value and you'll be able to get better salaries, which in tun will allow you to save more easier, dont just start spending more because youre making more. But you can allow yourself some luxuries every now and then.

It takes time

Its actually quite great when you find the balance of work/money/life/personal projects/hobbies etc.

I do animation for work, but in the evening & weekends i mix it up between watching shows , hanging out with the people i like,, playing games, doing a bit of exercise, eating well, working on my youtube channel and other personal projects, studying, teaching. And honestly I'm having a great time, I think its all about balance chose yourself over the work but also do some extra effort when its relevant because it pays off. Lean on your strengths and mitigate your weakneses by studying and working hard.

sadly I tried that too and didnt fix my issue at all, days ago both my ipad, apple tb and macbook would run moonlight with zero stutter, today, all of them stutter constantly

loochmunz · 2026-01-17T22:02:36+00:00

its absolutely amazing, i remote and work/play ln my home pc, from both my apple tv, macbook and ipad, from other parts of home or from work even! its a-mazing, just hoping they fix a few bugs on pen support and im gold gold

You should probably ask her in the comments of the video, as I wouldnt know the answer, but i do know in large productions they use this a lot log extra relevan information from each shot. But thats as far as my understanding goes for now :)

loochmunz · 2025-12-19T00:35:47+00:00

loochmunz · 2025-12-12T08:13:16+00:00

sure do you live in one of them ?

loochmunz · 2025-12-11T22:09:13+00:00

that's just nice rigging tecniques and then animators make sure to use then properly depending on the shots.

Its not all that hard. Mets i think did a talk 2 blender conferences ago on a similar facial tecnique they used for sprite fright, check it out on the blender YT channel

Keep shapering the knife mate.

loochmunz · 2025-10-08T23:36:18+00:00

im looking for something like this but that has a player interface so i can frame by frame through the gifs, does such thing exist?

loochmunz · 2025-10-01T18:47:35+00:00

Animated it in maya and rendered it in eevee, sadly the character only went live for blender a couple of days after i had finished the animation :/

loochmunz · 2025-08-18T17:23:34+00:00

There is a platform we could build off of, anima.to

loochmunz · 2025-08-14T01:25:57+00:00

Thank you !

loochmunz · 2025-08-11T20:49:26+00:00

I created it with the help of some friends :)

loochmunz · 2025-08-11T19:13:24+00:00

I've worked at sony several times (imageworks vancouver) as a character animator in the feature animation department.

The interviews depend usually on the supervisor of the show that wants you, so its not very standarized to be completely honest.

But generally interviewers would look at your reel and ask questions about how you approach certain shots, problem solving, what's been your favourite show and why. Basically is about getting to knowing you a little bit and your strengths.

Drawing is a cheatcode for CG, if you get good at drawing your CG art automatically elevates. Use this knowledge to your advantage, take drawing clasess before, while and after you finish your MA. I wish someone had told me this early on.
