Ask #chatGPT: What would be the best way to learn 3D animation?

With chatGPT showing some remarkable results across the board, I definitely am curious about how it could help me out in my workflow when I animate (like recently it helped me combine a few Python scripts into a window with buttons for each script, which dummy me can't do).

But I'm curious about other areas where I do have knowledge in, so I asked it the above title question. This was the result:

The best way to learn 3D animation can vary depending on the individual and their learning style. Some people may prefer to learn through hands-on experience using 3D animation software, while others may prefer to learn through tutorials and instructional videos. Still, others may prefer to learn through books or other written materials. It's important to find a learning method that works best for you and your learning style. Here are a few general tips for learning 3D animation: 

• Start with the basics: If you're new to 3D animation, it's important to start with the basics and learn the fundamental concepts and principles before moving on to more advanced topics.

• Practice, practice, practice: Like any skill, the key to improving at 3D animation is practice. The more you practice, the better you will become

• Use tutorials and instructional videos: There are many tutorials and instructional videos available online that can help you learn 3D animation. These can be a great resource for learning new techniques and improving your skills.

• Join online communities and forums: There are many online communities and forums dedicated to 3D animation where you can connect with other animators, ask questions, and learn from each other. These can be a great resource for learning and getting feedback on your work.

• Experiment and try new things: Don't be afraid to experiment and try new things when it comes to 3D animation. This can be a great way to learn and improve your skills.

 

It's broad, but not wrong!
