This is particularly true in a field like 3D graphics because it is so new and so very fluid. Everyone has a different opinion about where things are going, and the serious student must take responsibility for his or her own decisions. It s in this spirit that I d like to provide some guidance from my own perspective. They can, and should, also be considered by those who are looking into formal education or who are currently enrolled in formal training. I am, far more than a teacher, a student of 3D graphics, and am constantly in the process of teaching myself.
Every serious teacher enters the profession primarily to study their chosen field.
