I'm a newbie to graphic design and I need help.

so.... new members are allowed links now are they - it's spam

Noooo, I promise it's not spam! The links are to videos by a music company called 'Cymatics' and they have really cool graphics that I want to learn to make.

The general rules that some of the more authoritarian members like to quote is new members are not permitted links, especially to commercial sites, and especially new members who start their first thread with So... There is no set number of posts before new members can post links but it's usually somewhere around 15-20.

And for the most part we moderators strip these links out. I have notified the moderator for this forum and said I thought the links were appropriate. We'll see what the moderator has to say.

authoritarian, moi? ... oh wait, you're a laid-back 'child' of the 60's Gary - I remember now...

so... were they as happy times as I am led to believe? did they have authoritarian grammar rules back then..... ?

@Duma ok sorry if it is not spam but we get a lot... and to be honest this: Please suggest any tools that would be necessary as money is not a problem for me whilst great for your good self, is typical of spammers; as is over emphasis of the cluelessness...

I'd recommend you get yourself on some training sites, not cheap, but for you no problem.. you first need to learn the software, and this does not look like the sort of stuff I would do in Xara software... others of course may disagree

@Duma,The sphere shape in video 1 can easily be achieved with displacement mapping, then animate it rotating the sphere in a 360 degree loop cycle. Adding sound to the timeline would be done with a video editing program, Adobe premiere pro or such as that. The second sphere is most likely a procedural texture with a skull embedded into it and animated. These examples are rather basic modeling processes, the skull you could purchase from a vendor or study anatomy and modeling, then do it yourself. I am not familiar with Adobe after effects so I have no idea what its capable of. You should check out some online educators, https://www.lynda.com/search?q=3+d+modeling
Have fun.
