What should I do

by Jeff Wilkinson · in General Discussion · 07/14/2002 (4:32 am) · 4 replies

I would like to start into the game development area as a modeller or programer but I dont know what type of courses I should take because there are diffrent ones; There is game development courses witch will teach me majority of the stuff but I live in Canada (Ontrario) to be exact and I can only find one witch is on the other side of the country. or should I take separate programs like programing and 3d studio max?


Also as a side note what courses should I be looking for?

Toronto is seemingly devoid of game studios, but is certainly the right place for an education in 3D animation.

I believe it's Sheridan or Seneca College (or both?) that offer a world-renowned course on 3D modelling and animation. the graduates are often snapped-up by Hollywood...

Both Sheridan and Seneca (where I teach) offer the courses, as well as more generic programming courses.

You can also give gameinstitute.com a shot. Their courses are not bad.

Do you really think it is neccassary to do courses?

Grab a good programming book (The "... for dummies" series is really good) and learn C++.
Modeling can easily be learned by some tutorials and trial and error.
