if concept artists hang out on ca...where do 3d animators hang out?

[Jason Manley]

I'm looking for some highly talented 3D animators (3dsmax and CS). If concept artists hang out here on CA...where do all the animators hang out.

Cgtalk is a great site...mostly modelers/texture artists/character and environg artists it seems. Animation is few and far between. Does anyone have any ideas where to start looking?

Check out www.awn.com (Animation World Network) I think they have a Emplyment section..you should find some animators there...

They also have the Glenn Vilppu notes that are friggin awesome..

ANIMATION NATION

haven't been there lately, but it was packed back when I was in school a year ago with industry pros

www.cgtalk.com for sure. Havent found anything better for 3D. They are big, well organized, and have huge competitions.

I always see animations pieces there.

http://cgchar.toonstruck.com/forum/index.php is probably the strongest animation forum dedicated to character animation.

their IRC is cg-char on irc.freenode.net

there's also www.10secondclub.org a monthly animation contest.

Like Hito said, CG-Char is one of the biggies (http://cgchar.toonstruck.com/forum/index.php)

I know I will be spending the next 6 weeks trying to create the most badass animation reel I can come up with. I'm sure I won't be the only one.
