Choosing an Animation Program

Based on the last post, I decided that Wick Animator will be best for 2D animation or storyboarding, Blender and Maya will be best for 3D animation/ sculpting. (I’d also like to experiment with sculpting in ZBrush, but since you can’t actually animate with it, I’ll do that outside of this class). I will start small with 2D animations- I have some experience with 2D already, but I want to use Wick and get familiar with that first.

These are all very simple gifs/ loops that I made last year, but I would definitely like to create something a little longer or just a little more complex in 2D before I work my way up to 3D animation.
