Ideally I would be interested a continuing education style course on 3ds max or general game design, if anyone maybe has heard of such a course available I would be really happy if you could forward me the info.
This is what I am talking about. Let me explain what full sail has to offer:
They are an accredited college therefore government grants work. They offer a lot of courses online, such as the game art one I am taking. When you get approved, you will recieve: A new laptop, Tablet PC, some other hardware including a scanner, and the full suite of Autodesk tools including max and maya.
The people have been really great in helping me get started and I am actually looking forward to school for the first time in my life lol.
