Animation and all its glory!

FINALLY! We get to do 3-D animation! *happy dance* So happy! Have waited forever to learn how to do this. I hope to learn to make a character in Cheetah that looks 3-D like what you would see in the Final Fantasy games or in Kingdom Hearts. Although I am trying to do the few tutorials that the program offers. Right now I am trying to make/create the axe. Just getting the blade the right shape and size as compared to the picture that is there and it's killing me! I can only have patience and keep going! I got my grade on my 2-D short though! Got an 82! Some points off because the audio was "jarring". I didn't have any ambiance/background music to make the sound effects flow easier into the short. Hope that makes sense to everyone. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the long notes. I mean the demo we had today was what Ms. Licata calls "medium". And we all know how long that took. Oh god if that was medium, I don't want to even to think about it. Worst part of this week; coming back from break and the notes. Best part; 3-D work and - I'm sure there is another good thing. Can't think of anything right now but...
