I loved taking CAD and Geometry the same year in high school, and I loved ceramics years later. Funny because I asked the Ceramics teacher at which point do these two seemingly diverse professions meet. He said no at first, but then realized and replied that there is a special kind of clay people use in movies called polymer clay and that they take a laser and scan the hand-crafted object.
There is a time to craft an object using keyboard and mouse, and a time to craft an object with your fingers and wrists. Somehow, I feel as if the more organic designs such as an animal or a tree are better designed with fingers and wrists before being scanned with a laser while the more mechanical designs such as a car or a weapon are better designed with keyboard and mouse and can be printed on a 3D printer.

Wow! the 1997 video Geri's game was the first to use subdivision & midpoints, and it's plain to see how this simple mathematical technique really made animated film so much better! and that is one good short movie!

I wish I had this kind of information when I was in school so I could relate all those abstract ugly graphs and equations with something real. Kids these days are so lucky and I bet most of them don't realize it.

this is a similar concept to integration I mean the mid point idea, as the number of points increase the curve becomes more legitimate, meaning it's the limit to infinity.

I was surprised students in America learn trigonometry at junior high school. In Japan, it is at high school that students learn trigonometry.

Little did I know 6 years later I would be watching this video in seventh grade in quarantine because my teacher sent it to me.

I wish I could start doing maths again. I'm already a graduate. But I've immense desire to make animated films. I wish I could do that!
