This has been on my to do list for as long as I can remember. At various times in my life since college I have gotten the itch to learn 3D graphics and animation to the point that I’ve bought books, software, and videos. I’ve downloaded countless tutorials. With every occurrence of this itch I get just so far to get comfortable and frustrated.
At one point I decided to go through the book 3D Graphics & Animation by Mark Giambruno. This year I will attempt it again. Who knows, maybe I’ll get farther this time.
I just finished Zodiac by Neal Stephenson. Problem is it’s not mine. A friend loaned it to me somewhere around 6 months ago. I finally got to it and finished it and returned it to him today. So officially this isn’t a book I own but it’s been in my possession for so long maybe it counts. So let’s mark this one off as 1/2 down. A bunch more to go.
