Re: Technical Animator or 3D Animator career
It doesn't seem like you have many options really. doing some rigging will make you a better animator and working in a production environment will make you a better Developer At the end of a tech anim internship you'll be a more attractive candidate to a studio for any job than you would be if you didn't do it so if that's… -
Re: Substance designer for modeling. What's the advantage?
It's a complete dead end. The model graph is deprecated co you can't manipulate meshes at all. If you're talking about generating displacement maps and deforming geometry then I guess it's useful in the same way that it is in any other tool. It's an image processing and compositing tool, best to treat it as such -

Re: Pros and Cons when evaluating a new job

Re: Seek Professional Opinion for Environment Artist Career Decision
@JeremyJDickes - You should definitely give this a listen: Should You Go To School - What Nobody Tells You.

Re: I need smart people to tell me which program I should use to materialize low res polygon models.
PHASE 1: Write a script: Place a sphere at each vert. For each edge of the model, place a stick (extrude a circle along the edge).
