I didn't really do any 3D work until my last couple of years of school, and, even then, it was mostly on my own time. I already had background in traditional and stop-motion animation, so the transition to 3D character animation didn't take me long at all. Plus, back in the mid-1990s, 3D software wasn't too terribly complex compared to today's versions, so it didn't take nearly as long to learn how to use software. I also had several friends already working in the game industry, so they put in some good recommendations for me. That really helped me in getting my first job. |
Been an artist in the game industry for about 3 years now. My current position (of the last 2 months or so) is thanks to Danny's recomendation! :) Thanks, buddy!

Thanks for the info guys, its been great to hear how people get into this business, although I wouldnt suspect its an easy industry to get into due to the amount of jobs out there. Maybe I'll look into it in the future.
Currentley studying graphic design myself and overloaded with work.:shakehead |
I was a matchmove artist, then a lead matchmove artist at MPC, now I'm a modeller. I've been at MPC for about 20 months, and I've got a degree in Computer Animation.
When I was at college I wanted to go into graphic design or product design, but stumbled across my degree in a Uni prospectus and never looked back! |
I'm illustration student finishing next year, and..... well we'll se were I'll be going. Should be some moving image thing since I am not really doing any illustration work.
One thing I find really annoying about work/work placement is that it doesn't really matter how good you are as long as you know a lot of people. (This is not against danny or mckineley If someone deserves recommendation there's nothing wrong with it) There are just way to many lazy people in my uni whose work is crap. Regardless knowing "the right people" will evnetually get them a good job. That sucks. |
one more question,
dannyngan do you think that it is helpful to know traditional animation before starting with 3d, cause I'm starting an evening class in 2d, actually today, and some people actually laughed at me. Im not fuzzed about that but just wanted to know if it helped you. cheers |
