If you’re entering the 3D modeling industry. Always have an industry standard software base (Maya, Cinema 4D, 3DS, etc) and branch out from there to more specialized side softwares like Zbrush which is necessary for quality sculpting. The competition for positions and quality is brutal within the industry but it’s not hard to get a job. There’s plenty because 3D in general fits the needs for a lot of digital demands in entertainment or marketing.
learning a 3d program is like learning a new language just how people do with code it's great to branch out to learn different 3d softwares because it offers more job opportunities but it's most important to always return to your base software and master it as much as possible quality>quantity
@@ito2789 no its impossibly hard. Cinema4d is okay for Beginners easy for beginners, MAYA is a Nightmare to use as beginners especially for students with Mental disability or learning disabilities.
I've been an architectural drafter for almost 10yrs and in a few months taking a 9mo 3D modeling course.. learning Maya/Zbrush/Substance painter/Unreal... excited but also pretty nervous. Always wanted to learn character modeling as I feel it's the next best thing to sculpting stone/clay in the real world. Maybe I'll land a decent gig somewhere. The future looks bright in this line of work, to me at least.
Character artists jobs are in extreme high in demand, but the demands height are fantastically challenging in this niche. Including IN Japanese Gacha games, the character visual appeal determine the sell of the game and grasp a large audience.
i came here to learn more about this industry and your video was perfectly informative for me. So much so that i search for something else related to the field and thought I should go back and like this video and leave a comment because I know it helps and its the least I can do lol. Thanks a lot doode. Perhaps my surfing shall return me to your channel someday.
What I've learned from little success in this industry. The industry is in high demand for people who are high in skill, which doesn't come along often. That's why it's competitive, the standard for getting the job is super high.
@@normietwiceremoved it's not worth the bother. The top people live, breath and eat 3d modelling. You'd make multiples more money and have a life outside of work in another field such as software development.

These jobs are all amazing and have such vast possibilities - but does anyone else just HATE the environments and offices being shown? That is not the dream .. would it be more beneficial to freelance to be able to work from anywhere? Or is that harder and do companies like to have 'in house' instead?
this is what im mostly worried about, in order for me to work for a good, well established company i might need to consider moving continents and that would really really suck. working from home would be a dream, and realistically the same thing, and so much better than just sitting in a cubicle.
well, I'd imagine it'd be a lot more cohesive to use a company PC for ultrahigh-res assets and be using workstations with 128gb of vram and 64 cores and 1tb of ram to make the most photorealistic scenes.
it sucks doing 3d for more than 7 hours a day, even 7 hours constantly focusing on small details on screen and with employer coming with question like, yeah I know you need a week for this, but can we do it in 2 days, you do it in 2 days with overtimes and then employer expects you to do it in 2 days every time, consider that before going into this industry...

There’s a lot of demand for concept artists which is 2d, also storyboarding. Or you could combine illustration with 2d animation (after effects) and go for motion graphics
@@zdenekburian1366 that'll be true for every job lol. Actually where art is concerned there needs to be a human element to make art. Art. Where it comes to everyday human life. 3D and art is least susceptable being replaced by AI.

For a simple portfolio you want at least 2 preferably 3 min characters. Try stylised and realistic. Do different sexes, ages, shapes, styles, themes, hand painted textures.

I notice you didn't talk much about the Product or Industrial design Industry. They are the Gods of the industry: Aircraft Designers and Engineers (using CATIA, Autodesk Inventor Pro, Solidworks and Master CAM. These people are manufacturing experts creating products to print scale. Their pay scale ranges from $98,500 - to $156,000. You never talk about this; also you you left out CMM (Computer Micro Measure) CAD Model Base Programming. This field is so big we all must share. Anyway nice video.
Can we learn all these things in under one course I mean 3D modelling courses teach us all these in one courses or we should enroll in different different courses.
If you want to put those 3 things together, maybe you can start a smart city project. To apply for a job, try a procedural workflow in the software you use (Houdini, Bifrost in Maya or Geonodes in Blender)
If you planning to go for animation you need really high end specs. But for smaller product such as creating models for hyper-casual games, you may use average specs like ryzen 5 2600 or smth
Hi. I am intersted to get a job of Environment Artist. I wanted to if Blender and 3dsmax are good softwares to learn and if it can help me get a good job in the Indestry or should i learn maya only?
You don't need a degree necessarily but you need to do some training and we have a lot of unreal academy training centres around the world who have connections with studios or companies to hire their students . You just have to be fully committed to succeed
As a 3D artist that have been in this field more than 10 years, Thanks to metaverse and NFT and otehr virtual items selling/buying maybe we can unbind from this shitty industry and become independent. Yes 10 years of slavery and just give me PTSD lol.
@@LiziLKinks Show off your porto and try to impress the investors with your work. There are big names join in the meta for advertisement. And oh boy virtual fashion is the best solution for fast fashion, it creates no waste either.
Is It too late to start at 24 and finish at 27? Is It too late to start at 40 and finish at 43? It's better to just do it today than never getting started at all ;)
Update: almost all game studios right now are only looking for technical artist (medium or senior level), forget about prop artist, that will almost always get outsourced now from other studios (mostly from China)
AI seems likely to kill "any" jobs in the world, even the area (Software engineering) which is created AI. So, be smart and learn the something that would you put a good position in the era that you live.
