VFX artist expectations and experience
greentooth
Hey gang, I was hoping to get some input.
I started recently, getting into VFX using Unreal(Cascade). I love the stuff. It is a whole lot of fun. Originally the thought was to just learn enough to help out presenting my models, but its starting to take over my life in ways i didn't imagine haha. So i've got a few questions that i'm hoping we can start a discussion with.
A what are some of your duties, and expectations as a mid-level to senior artist?
What are some expectations for entry level VFX Artists?
What kind of art test did you have to do? Does it very from studio to studio?
When you're creating an effect (that isn't realistic) do you have to create it from concept to completion?
What kind of effects do you outsource or give to lower level vfx artists?
Can anything stop you?!
Whats the timeline like for creating an effect? 2 weeks? a month? longer?
What is your program of choice for simulations? (i'm more familiar with maya, but i'm learning some houdini)
