Welcome to The art of Animation:Master!

Word of the new websubscription is going out to all parts of the world and the stage is set for the arrival of many new users.
Welcome to the A:M Forum if you are one of those!
If you are returning... Welcome Back!

The art of Animation:Master is designed to thoroughly expose you to the workflow of Animation:Master with a focus on the principles of computer animation. Its a step by step process to set you up for successful animation from the time you start Lesson 1.

There are many additional benefits of working through TaoA:M too. Here are a few:
- A certificate of completion from Hash Inc! (Read more about it here)
- Eligibility for Hash Inc's movie projects (like Tin Woodman of Oz) and enrollment in the A:M Community's mentorship program
- A shared experience with TaoA:M Alumni like you that will last a lifetime!

As you progress through the manual encourage each other. Focus on the main lesson but... experiment and have fun! smile.gif
If you've already worked through TaoA:M before please try it again.
You'll be amazed at what you've learned.

Anyone can Animate so lets get started now!
