I think most of the answers have been given already, but let
me try to answer this, with reference to the original way the question was phrased;
that is how can you become an animation programmer? First I need to let you know that programming
is another level of Art that has more to do with both your cognitive and
analytical skills. So it is usually not visual like Drawings or Animation, but
has a lot to do with abstract codes and Mathematical formulae that model real
life situations.
At times, animation directors may choose to incorporate
real-life simulation over key- Frame animation approach in a project to attain realistic
outputs. This is where the SIMULATOR or animation programmer comes in play. If that
is the path you want to take, apart from bring some one that appreciates Arts,
you don’t necessarily need to be a good Artist; however, you need to understand
in Mathematics, Physics and any C-based programming language, preferably C++ as
this will enable you program in the Open
Graphics Language (GL) or Direct X, in 3D animation environments.
Bon voyage
