I Am A Creator

[11arshaan]

I am an artist. The last 3 years I've been mastering the art of music production, and I guess I've succeeded because this year the internet/google/God/etc revealed the process of 3D animation to me.

And so, here I am, a music producer learning how to build an animate my own universe. I will create a movie to go with my debut album, which establishes a unique world. In some years, I will form a team and build a video game in that same universe. A super ultra MMORPG. I have full faith!

Thank you Autodesk, I wonder if you are an A.I.

Either way, unlocking these powers is amazing, I'm so excited to do this and this post will probably be a moment of history for myself.

What can I offer to the community now? Hm....

Audio! If anyone is looking for sound design or music, I can do that. All of my art is currently archived, however I will debut my art this year. Follow me via Instagram or Twitter: @11arshaan

Also, I could use some advice. Really, as I learn the tools, I want to establish a proper workflow. I am currently struggling to decide which programs to select for the workflow. There are too many options:

• Maya, Cinema4D, Blender for general DCC
• Substance or Mari for painting?!
• Adobe/DaVinci/Nuke for compositing?!?!?!
• Infinite render engine options

If there are any experienced 3D generalist with experience in multiple applications, I would really appreciate any advice on selecting the right programs. The only confirmed choices I have in my toolset are ZBrush and Unreal Engine.

Anyway, I am Harshaan. Nice to meet you.
