of what I was interested in. |

Most of what I know about 3D, Animation, and Flash was learned on my own. I have a growing library of DVD's and video tutorials from The Gnomon Workshop. I occasionally subscribe to Lynda.com's Training as well. There are countless other resources that I utilize, but these are two of the primary ones. |
