First impression of 3D class

Before I enter to Utar, I thought we have to make a real model in 3D class. But after 1 year of studying, I know that animation courses need to learn a lot of software to create our animation, characters or artworks. As my lecturer, Mr Simon said, student always think that they cannot handle this subject very well when the classes just started. So do I. The 3ds Max software looked very complicated and I'm so worry about that. As I still even cannot use the Photoshop and After Effect very well.What I expect to do in 3D class. (Picture 1)What we really do in 3D class. (Picture 2)

The classes are full of software and I prefer more hand work like picture 1. But things cannot always be fulfilled, I still need to learn those software. I'll do my best.

What is TGA ?

According to my research, TGA is Truevision Graphics Adapter. It also know as TARGA, Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter. It was the format of TARGA boards, the first graphic card that support high colour display. Normally TGA image files match those of the NTSC and PAL video formats as the graphic cards was intended for professional computer image synthesis and video editing with PCs.
