Are you on the Pigmi list?

#31

List?? I know the head of the project, Jon Hayward, is involved with them and the IGDA perth chapter. You into the indie game dev scene I take it??

#32

EDIT: Funny actually, I’ve very likely met you before at an event.

Hey guys, sent some PM’s out to everyone from this thread that said they were keen to get together and work on a small project, let me know if ur still keen!

#41

Yea, I’m from Perth and still in Perth. I’m going to be studying Graphics Design in Tafe… And then finish of in Uni. I wanted to do Animation but can barely find any courses in Perth that are running. Might do something online.

Wish there was more in Perth. Damn you WA… “Wait Awhile”.

#42

I’m from Perth.
I’m pretty amateur though, still going to school.

#43

Hi I’m from Perth and I live in Perth too :slight_smile: It would be great to meet fellow Perthites interested in working on any special projects (or even not very special projects :stuck_out_tongue: )
I’m going to the Supanova expo so if anyone wants to meet up there let me know I’m going for the whole weekend, also got some ex-tafe friends going who work in illustration, concept design and 3d.

#44

that’s so true! I’ve been looking online and I’ve found there are so many more courses in the US and Canada

#45

For anyone in Perth (Or WA for that matter) you should consider joining WAnimate (The West Australian animation association) — we run all kinds of events and are always happy to talk to local people who are looking to get into animation as well as folks already working here.

I started out in Perth at Tafe doing graphic design and to be honest its the only thing I really needed to get going. You learn the fundamentals of color, form and composition there which is what they seem to skip over a lot in the more pricey institutions. Unless your the sort of person who needs structured learning, I would suggest getting the fundamentals down and then taking time off to teach yourself 3d with the aid of dvds and tutorials.
No one cares about what school you went to as long as you can show off some good skills to potential employers.

Thanks darkEyes, does that apply to people like me who are maybe more 2D and more into illustration/concept design? You can check out my deviant profile to see more of my work as I haven’t managed to update my gallery here yet http://artybel.deviantart.com/
