"Computer Animated Movies?"

I am hopning to give this computer animatoin a try and I was wondering what software I would need.

Any one got any ideas?

Thanks

It doesn't sound easy, but it is something I would like to try as a hobby. Putting together an animated movie that is.

I'm doing a graphics course at uni in java. Moving on to 3D stuff soon and should be able to produce some pretty cool stuff in the end.

I would say start with the basics. Most of it is maths, coordinates, lines, shapes, curves etc
Once you understand that you can move on to the complex stuff like wire frame, shadings etc to produce some cool looking stuff.

I am sure there are easier ways by using programs that animate things, guess it all depends why you want to learn how to do it.

It's something that interests me, I quite like coding something and then getting a moving animation at the end of it.

Heh

I am 16 in April.

I start A level Maths, Physics and Computing and AS Psycology in Autumn.

THis year is the final year of my GCSE

Parr, how old are you?

A Level computing doesn't include anything helpful either!

Thanks Aliboy, I am starting A level Computing in Autumn so that should help alot.

A bit harder than just jumping into it.
Know any programming languages?
Learn something like C or C++ and learn the maths behind all the graphics as a start.

Or get a hold of grix and pick his brain..

Along the lines of Shrek, Final Fantasy, Ants, A Bugs Life. Like what Pixar do.
