/3/ — Chatgpt told me I should start learning with the course "CG

If chatgpt told you then it must be true, do it

Blender will never be enough to learn animation. You’ll hate it and lose all hope on your project. Do it on a real animation software instead of blender.

the p2design course is probably the best blender animation course, yes. truth be told if you finish it you'll be better than 99% of blender animators, let alone the coomers.
not sure about the cg cookie one, but it should be fine.
if you know nothing about blender, you may need to do a basic intro course first.

I have an honest question, is Blender animation tools really that bad? I know from reading reddit that theyre working on something new

I also have another question, why choose? Can't you just pirate Maya? Like for personal projects and stuff. I have access to CGPeers so I could prob find coursed and stuff I think

Or if you are a gooner fresk then Blender is worth morr for the plugins? Like, I saw some MMD pluging and dunno if Maya has that kind of compatibility and stuff

My experiencr is that I play VRChat and have made some very small assets and worlds in Blender (painfully) and then used them in Unity. I like Unity a lot too, I had problems making animations for a charater there I never ended up understanding

>is Blender animation tools really that bad
it's totally serviceable.
in really, really heavy rigs rig evaluation in blender is significantly worse than maya, but the chances you'll run into that are close to zero (we're talking production vfx rigs here).
there are workarounds anyway by doing proxies.
for anything else there are addons around now.

>Can't you just pirate Maya?
you can. i haven't done it years, but their anti-drm stuff is very malware-y. maybe a bit worse than adobe's. re: why not both? rigs don't move between packages (unless you build some sort of plugin/pipeline to handle that and it's just not worth it)

>if you are a gooner
if you're a gooner and you're only interested in animation, then blender is the only choice you have. there's no equivalent of smutbase for any other dcc.

just use blender. if you ever decide you want to work in vfx, you can try maya, but desu we probably won't have animation jobs by then lmao

>>1028169
Yes, you are right im just beating around the bush, I'll use Blender that I know it a little bit already.
Thanks for replying to me

just follow what tutorials helps you make what you want to make.

How can advice be "kino"?

>>1028142 (OP)
One thing I'd add is that, before you start whatever tutorial course you settle on, it might be helpful to watch a broad explainer video on YouTube, just to give yourself a preview of the concepts you'll be studying. That way you have a rough framework to fit the tutorial's lessons into, and how the concepts relate to each other. Something like this stuff:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqBxR1QuemQ

Beyond that, don't obsess about specifics at this point. Do a brief, broad overview to vibe with the material, then tackle a proper tutorial course. The refinement stage of "How do I do X?" comes after you have the basics down.

And best of luck with fluid physics once you get there, because cumshots are crap in 3D. Only the blowjob fanatics ever seem to model the viscosity right.

Ok I followed tutorial and learned how to do this.

>>1028142 (OP)
I have both those courses downloaded if you want the files OP

>>1028294
Okay, I would like the cg cookie one please

>giving the worst advice ever from an AI trained on plebbit posts

oh fuck stop wasting your timr and get real courses from CGPeers

>futa animations
kys faggot

>>1028159
holy hell how many maya shills are on here

The only way to learn 3d is to take a class with a teacher who is in the same room as you. At the very least when you're starting.
You'll have your initial wtf moment where you don't know how to do anything and need your hand held. Then constant little questions not explained by the course material. You need someone who knows to answer specific questions and show you how to do it themselves.
After you have the basics use books that you bought that are made of paper.
