I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down
Living in the hopeless side of town
And I wear it for the prisoner who's long paid for his crime
but still is there because he's a victim of the time

About this user

I am a computer 3D animator and since the schools did not teach me much I had to go through different books and tutorials to really learn how to work with 3D softwares. Because I could not really find any good detailed resources that could teach me well and answer all my questions I decided to create my own tutorials in which I try my best to explain in as much detail as possible.

My favorite animation program is Autodesk Maya (formerly known as Alias Maya) and it is the program I use in all my tutorials. I teach mostly Character Animation and set up however, I will later on put some tutorials on modeling. For better understand of beginners I have started with very basic Models and Animation concepts but as I go further I will move on to more complex ones.

One of the books which I very highly recommend is "Maya Character Animation" By Jae-jin Choi.

In my free time I study languages and philosophy. I am particularly interested in Etymology (studying the roots of languages) of Semitic and Indo-European languages and Linguistics as a whole. I speak English, Persian, German, Spanish, French, and Italian. Speak some Hebrew and Arabic. Can read and write in Latin but can't really speak it well yet. Also understand a bit Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, and Avestan.
