Just wondering if you ever watched the Studio Ghibli movie "Princess Mononoke"?

Its one of my all time favorites and these characters you drew look exactly like some of the creatures in this movie.

Yah that's exactly what I thought of when I saw them, which is why I liked them I guess. That movie is by far Miyazaki's best. I might watch it again tonight (I have the dvd )

One thing you have realise is that the animation part of 3D is probably the one part that takes the longest to master. Your friend probably knows it but how his skill will be in comparison to the other animators is a different story.

I myself don't think character animation would be done manually anymore in the future with Motion Capture becoming more readily available to mostly everyone.

Also what program does he use, Maya or 3DS Max? Some companies use Lightwave 3D, XSI Softimage for most of their film and such but one thing you have to again understand is that 90% of film studios all use Maya so knowing that over the other is a much better qualification since companies cannot be bothered teaching such a complex program. Also more than 50% of American gaming studios use Maya.

The other programs are good but it still doesn't change the fact that people still prefer Maya.

Tell him what he uses and what he can do. What other skills for the animation part does he know?

Does he know how to rig properly? (And i mean superbly)
Does he know about Inverse Kinematics? (i'm sure he would though, just asking)

and so on.

What other parts of 3D does he know?

You have great taste

Can't wait for the new Studio Ghibli movie "Tales from Earthsea"

Laputa was awesome aswell, just hated the military part of it, made it lose that ghibli feel.

it's funny with Laputa because when SBS had a Miyazaki marathon, i was just flipping through channels when Laputa came on and my mum was around and she just sat down to watch, after the movie she loved it and wanted to watch the other marathon series

Grave of The fireflies is another good one

Joe Hisashi always does a perfect job on the music.

though it's just another circle

hahah my mum did the exact same thing (although I forced her to watch it). I really liked laputa, esp. the parts where they get to the gardens and there's that massive robot who looks after the animals. I want a robot like that. Nausika (sp?) of the Valley of the Wind was good too I thought, except the ending which I thought was too simplistic in it's aesthetics.. almost like they'd run out of budget to do a decent background for the final scenes.

Spirited Away is of course, amazing, and was my first Myazaki film that I saw, although I still think Princess Mononoke is better.

jolz's characters are cuter. the ones from princess Mononoke are freaky as.
