ANIMATOR

Animators work with either 3D Studio MAX or Lightwave. Software manuals and help menus are the primary learning tools. The Animator's task is to provide the Director with the animated portion of the team's product. Work is highly specialized and strictly in keeping with the team's premise. Modeling is an integral part of animation. Teams are encouraged to model there own objects. However, since time is very limited (models need to be in animation with in two weeks of the project starting) use of models shipped with the software is authorized. Again, If the animator's level of confidence and available time allow, teams are encouraged to create there own models for animation. Networking knowledge is needed for timely file transfer.Due dates/file transfer dates are in accordance with the team's flow chart milestones. 

Manuals and tutorials are available for both Lightwave and 3D Studio Max.
