Hello, My Name Is Kludge And I'm A *gasp* Gnubee

Yes, it's true. I'm gnu. And the avatar really is me. I couldn't think of anything scarier.
A little back story: I'm your basic escapee from the Home for the Terminally Weird, constantly hiding :ninja: from the guys in the white jackets and the voices - *Those farglesnapping voices!* - while awaiting the mothership's return. There are, of course, worse things to be but I don't think I'm one of them. But maybe I am. I don't know.
Okay, that's out of the way. Now for the good stuff. My experience level in 3D is "none at all" so I'm starting out from ground zero. Where I do have a little experience is video production and live theater and I'm reasonably sure some things will carry over. The reason I'm getting into it now is because of my daughter.
[Name not given in compliance with board policy] is terminally ill. She's 33 and may make 40 if we're lucky. Unfortunately, she's on the mainland and I'm here in Hawaii, and there's no way we can be together for a while. It just can't happen. As a result, I'm converting my retirement closet ... er, room into a micro-studio for video production along with making MP3s for her. Since I can't talk for 2 hours straight (the length of each treatment in a new regimen we hope will extend her life), the idea crossed my feeble little mind that 3D animations to help make her smile while I'm taking a break would be a good thing. I know the learning curve will be a bit steeper than most I've managed but my little girl is worth it to me. Even if I don't manage to make any worth using, it will still be interesting learning something new.
And that's my story & I'm sticking with it ... unless I get a better offer.
Best regards,
Kludge

Hi, Tormie, and thanks. :friends:
Since I don't know what all is possible, I also don't know what is impossible which is probably a Good Thing. :) There are many, many ideas percolating around the back of my head, some of which are rather ambitious like mixing live action and 3D animation. There's a lot of crawling and toddling et al to be done before I get there but I have a single goal in mind which should make life a lot easier. In the meantime, there are many much lots of local pictures to be taken and hours of video to be shot around the island for inclusion in later work.
Questions are forthcoming and they're a bit advanced for where I am now but they'll help with later planning.
Once I have my new computer set up, I'll check out the video chat. In the meantime, I'll take a look at the work you suggested to see what has been done and swipe ideas ... er, learn what I can from them. :D
Let me contribute some homemade wasabi mayo and homemade mustard to the fridge ... maybe a few other things later on ... :)
Best regards,
Kludge
