We all come to Polycount for a reason. To get better at modelling and hopefully land a gig somewhere sometime. OK, maybe not all of us.. but the majority are here for our love for all things 3D. But what's your #2? What's something you could see yourself doing OTHER than 3D/art related? Mine would be archaeology. I really…
my alternatives would be #2 motorcycle / hot rod creator or automotive restoration #3 construction (more than just grunt work kind. something creative) honestly, I almost ended up doing my #2 choice if i hadnt found out about the college I shall soon be graduating from.
I think #2 would be a nice job in a computer retail/repair shop, or open my own bakery. Unfortunately there are probably enough bakery/coffee shops in Seattle.
For me 3d/art is #2... basicly just a hobby. #1 is biotechnology and genetics (that is what I study). But it is a close 2nd, and maybe I will end up working in the games industry anyways
An investor. Real-estate, unit trusts, the hard work of others, ect ect. pretty much leveraging of any kind that makes me money. The best part is, I get to have #2 within the 5 years. -R
#2 would be architect, or designing those paper model books where you cut out and create a model of some castle or landmark... hmmm... now that I mention it, I think I might actually try doing that.
Assuming I was in the Industry as a enviromental artist or Janitor or such I'd say then. 2. A mapper being such a map freak myself. 3. A PR manager or sales division, I love to sell things. 4. Q & A tester, nothing like letting the old guy test new games on easy setting. I thought Rorshach wanted to be an Astronaut?
Choice #1: Working with great people on great games (doing art,programming,whatever) Choice #2: (what i'm up to now) broke grad student in CS Choice #3: boring programming day-job making teh big bucks for 40-50 hrs/week Choice #4: working in the game industry on mediocre project with mediocre artistic/technical director…
I think I've been doing my #2 choice for the last decade and a half, the staff all-around graphic designer thing. Which means that I've been doing it for about seven years longer than choice #1 has existed. Mom always said I would grow up to do something that hadn't been invented yet. But barring all that art effluence, my…
