Fay_Hiba Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Hello guys, I'm currently a Computer Graphics bachelor student, we are learning CGI but also, Mathematics, Python and C++ some people are very proficient with all these 3 while I'm very proficient in CG but not very strong in these field. I'm very motivated to learn and go deep into these 3 field but I would also like to be efficient in the way I will learn it. ( learning all the mathematics is unfortunately not possible. ) So I would like to know what is your best advice to start learning mathematics and programming to become an FX-TD, based on your own experience or on some experience from other people? Do FX-TD always use programming in the task they are asked for? Any advice, any experience is very much welcome and it would help me a lot.

acey195 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) In general you can go quite far without difficult maths in FX some stuff you should ideally be familiar with: basic arithmetic basic trigonometry (cos, tan, sin) how dot and cross products work, or at least how to use them, combined with trigonometry. some basic understanding of physics, mainly Newtonian (gravity, objects in rest vs moving, etc.) Edited November 14, 2017 by acey195 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
