Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
First of all, Thank you very much for this information. It is really helpful for me. For C++, there is a subject (Object oriented programming with C++ ) in our college in this semester. So i know basic concepts of C++ and OOP. I'll start learning MEL and python quickly from the books you gave. so 1) Does Technical… -
Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
So, i did some research. I really liked your idea about scripting. where should I start? For example in maya should I start learning MEL and MAYA scripting? I found this link : http://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2016/ENU/?guid=__files_API_Introduction_htm is this the correct place to start? If you have any other site/way… -
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?
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?
Thanks for reply. You are right about scripting. Other thing I'm thinking is does certificate course on any 3D/game design helps to get VISA? For example getting student VISA is easier than work VISA . So if i choose any college in canada/US which is very cheap and i can get degree/certificate in less time ? Should I do… -
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?
I would say finish your Computer Science degree, it is much more difficult to get a Visa without some sort of degree. Even then, try to choose things in your Comp Sci curriculum that is relevant to Tech Art. Python scripting is used in just about all the 3d programs these days, C# for tools, beyond that I don't know, I'm… -
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?
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…
