"the Power of Many"

3D Animation/Visual Effects

As you know I'm probably the youngest one registered on this site.
I have many successful short films and I wanted to go into 3d animation and visual effects, but I cannot find a program that will help me with that.

So Does anyone know a good 3d animation/visual effects program that I can use. Any cost, and I don't care how much memory it will take up, I got a new laptop. I use Vegas pro 8.

Blender is the app for you to get started with. Why? It's free. It's powerful. It''s righteous.

There is a kid (literally) on YouTube, goes by the name of Super3boy. He has made about 26 tutorials all lasting less than ten minutes each. You should be up and running in a day.

updated personal website

Hi guys, just a quick update. My personal website (www.ilovehue.net) is now up-to-date. I have uploaded a lot of clip I worked on in the past years. Nothing new for the one who went on the old website but still, it's going in the right direction. Most of the 2D is done in MOTION. The low-fi 3D is done with Zaxwerk softwares and the editing work is done in Final Cut. My resume will get updated soon. Shamelessly propoting himself, Mathieu Marano
