Give it to me straight /3/, becoming a 3D animator isn’t a realistic job isn’t it?

There's a lot of games and 3d movies that come out, someone has to animate them. You need to learn Houdini to be useful in industry though.

If you want to work in a creative field like 3D your best bet is to get a business degree and become a professional injun wrangler (aka project/outsource manager). It's a good & easy career path, if you can suck the shit out of your boss's rectum like a power vac and have an instagram you'll be creative director in no time.

I gave up on a 3d career and now I enjoy more than ever before bcus it doesnt have the baggage associated with it - like having to do everything to perfection, texturing, rendering, this, that... it's too much, then you get cucked with low wage high stress

Now I can experiment and fuck around, such a fun hobby and it impresses normies actually...

I'm working a comfy office job now with good progression and pay, maybe its cope but 3d career sucks ass unless you are young and have no responsibliities.

It's nice to hear an honest opinion.
I'm going on that same path. I started with 3d because I wanted to model some furniture but I considered the possibility of working a 3d career. Then I realized that it's not what I wanted to do for a living because of the reasons you mentioned but it's a damn good skill to have, specially with the 3d printing industry growing so fast.

What type of work you do at your office?

Specifically animator? No.

3D Modellers if you have the talent for it can make pretty decent money freelancing. Places like Fiver and CG society are making it easier than ever to earn a living wage as long as your work quality isn't shit. The basic rule is that If the undercutting poo-in-loos work is better than yours, you suck.

But animation is very different. It's not exactly easy to freelance it, and many of the companies that need it like to hire people within their social circle. It becomes an issue of not just talent, but who you know. So unless you are a Jew it becomes a very hard field to break into. Even top freelance modelers who know how to animate and have made names for themselves as go-to modellers can find it hard to get in with say Pixar or Illumination.

not same dude but similar resume, big studio money is very good (just over 6 figures) once you reach senior positions. after a while the work ends up being somewhat repetitive, you really are a cog that realises someone else's vision. but you get to be nitpicky and have fun with your specialized slice of work. colleagues are fun in that they're all nerds like you into the same interests as you. same for vfx. but again, lot of competition so just dont be shit

You want it given to you straight?


3D is a very realistic job that plenty of people make a stable middle class income out of.

The catch is that the industry is extremely competitive, and thus only the top 2~5% of artists actually make any money. If you want it to be a realistic job, you have to work your ass off to improve your skills and make a portfolio that prospects cannot say no to.

The simple fact is if you want to make it you have to gitgud.
