h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You're an animator, right? Could you give a few pointers to someone looking to get a head start before he goes
to art college in a year or so? Please?

If you want to do cool 3D animation then go to http://www.blender.nl The software is free and yet has features more often found on £3000 software. There is not a very good online manual but you can either buy one or look at some of the tutorials available on the net.

I hope to have my blender website set up in the next few weeks.

As regards my ridiculously late reply to your message just remember:

"Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubley so."

Ahh the fount of wisdom that is Ford Prefect.

and the response from Arthur - "You should write in to the readers digest - they have a page for people like you!"

Hope I have been some help. Although in the time it took me to respond you have probably already graduated from college. oh well
