Trying something new(Old)

So I've been a bit down,unmotivated and undecided on what I want to pursue this year.

As a result I haven't really done a lot Level design work or anything.

However this week after reading a few inspiring articles I'm starting to get motivated again. I'm thinking of trying my hand at getting into a lot more 3d modelling stuff and animation.
Seeing as I do have a Games animation degree its a bit of a shame to not be using any of the skills I have learnt. So my current plan is to get back into 3d and animation. I'm guessing I'm going to be really rusty seeing as I havent done any proper animating bar a few props here and there in the last 5 years.

Also the new version of 3d studio max does scare me a bit :P. But I'm sure i'll get my head around it .
I'm going to start with brushing up on basic animation principles and might even participate in the 11 second club animation for may :).

Think the key is really keeping myself active and getting involved in a few communities. from what i've seen the 11 second club community is very good and maybe might even try to be more active on cgtalk.

Here's a bit of a blast from the past my character for my short film at uni in 2005, where has the time gone
