Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
Hi kunalht, I can give you my personal series of study references. Keep in mind it is my own study path, not what every TA should know. As a matter of fact "technical artist" is quite a blurry definition, they can be more art oriented: artists who can script a bit, or more code oriented: coders who write tools for the 3D… -
Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
Hi kunalht, I can answer your questions only from a very personal point of view, and I think that every TA might answer differently. 1) A technical artist usually doesn't touch the game engine code. As a matter of fact, I think not many TAs know anything about C++, and focus on MEL / MaxScript / Python. The TA usually… -
Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
This. I hired quite a few junior TAs from college with a computer science background. While many of them were really good at grasping technical things, they lacked an understanding of the bigger picture and the issues encountered by the artists. They cannot quite put themselves into the artists' shoes, which makes it… -
Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
Hi kunalht, I would like to amend a few mistakes about the US immigration policies, as I am going through them myself. First and foremost, the most reliable source of information about the US immigration is the US government website: http://www.uscis.gov/ Rules can change every year, and there are a few law proposals that… -
Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
I'm in the same position of Kunalht but i'm 1 year from finish it. In my case is Software Engineering but that means if i apply a job for a character artist position, then my 5 years degree doesn't count? As for Kunalht, i felt the same 2 years ago but i couldn't leave the university because i had a contract. Everytime i… -
Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
Yes, i still in Software Engineering. What will i do in 1 year? The best scenary is that i found an indie game company with some friends, which we are working on now. If that doesn't work i will find some jobs here related to arch viz or graphic design because Gamedev industry doesn't exist here, only companies who teach… -
Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
The easiest thing would be to come STUDY in canada. you got a student visa, school aren't really pricey here, and it's easier to become a citizen after. That's what most people do. So much people wanna come to canada, and even more regarding the game/movie industry so if you don't have a job already waiting for you i… -
Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
I do disagree with this. I understand the painful situation you both are in, but I think you must try to make the most of it. There is no such thing as "bad knowledge". The more you know, the better, always. Rather than flying low, why not steer your studies in the direction you want. Character art is far from Computer…
