I'm interested in computer animation, and I'd like to work at a gaming company after I graduate. I've tried learning how to use computer modeling programs like 3dsmax and Maya through tutorials, and so far I am enjoying it. But i am concerned that companies won't want to hire me if I don't have any programming experience. Is it necessary to know programming in order to be successful in computer animation?
