@carvuliero Why would you say 3D is slowly dying? There are more productions in 3D games, movies, TV now than there ever was, and I don't see any hint of upcoming automation in 3D.
Always thought I wanted to be a 3D artist / designer for games. I do really enjoy my work and I'd say I'm really good at it. I currently model, texture, animate, rig and optimise all 3D assets for the game. I will then import them into engine and set up any controllers required. I also do most of the 2D graphics (UI and…
Looks like you already made your decision I personally think its a right call if things continue as they are right now [3d is slowing dying ] most jobs will move overseas and probably be automated after that so either way its a good to plan ahead and have plan B
That's understandable, if you have to do it, or want to. You can still do 3D stuff on the side, or use it in UX/UI when you need to. Also, I know at the studio I'm at, we have a UX/UI Designer. I think other game studios too have those roles, so you're not ruling yourself out of the picture. It's still relative.
Sounds like your hunting the wrong grounds. Sometimes in life, you've got to follow the herd, where ever it goes. Other times, you've got to learn to enjoy eating bark. I'd say keep up with your 3d since you've invested so much of yourself into it (and enjoy it), but if staying put is what you've got to do, I'm sure you…
And even if automation does take over, why can't the artist just find new ways to market themselves? The invention of the camera didn't stop people from from requesting painted artwork. It's likely 3D art would still exist, it's just the way we do it in the future would be different. This is too situational. If you make a…
I feel there will be increasing need for 3D artists, however the popularity of game design courses means there is now a huge oversupply of these artists, which decreases wages. We already know it happens in the VFX industry where people work countless unpaid overtime only to get their studios shut down and out of a job.…
