modo or max or softimage

even though sketchup has great capabilities, its shit when it comes to meshsmoothing and creating curvy topology.

>> No.402658

b-bbut people make sketch-up models of cars and architecture with fluid curvy shapes all the time, it's obviously not impossible

>> No.402659

>>402658
Obviously not but it's unproductive when there are programs which are far better suited for the job

>> No.402671

>>402658
it's possible, but so is sketching your model out on some graph paper and hand-placing each vertex
shit, you could use notepad as your modeling program if you wanted to, but as >>402659 there are waaaay better ways of doing it. sketchup simply isn't suited for anything other than rapid prototyping.

you can get by in 3D, if you have knowledge of new trends and things that are going to be big and can program cuda, opencl, and open gl and make your own game and sell it and people buy it. otherwise, you will be poor

>> No.403064

so basically... if you do absolutely everything right, you can "get by". holy fuck i had no idea this job was underpaid. guess i should enroll in uni and become a "anything" after all.

These guys are fucking with you. It's not nearly that bad. You might have to work a part time job until you're established, but if you have the skills, you'll be in demand. Don't worry about it.

Once you've established yourself, you can set up a DA or a vimeo to act as a point of contact, and then you can work from any remote location. So you just set up shop somehwere you can live comfortably on $14k a year. Places like Stewiacke, Canada my not be glamorous but are pretty decent once you figure out the culture. You'll be able to cut out most of your auto-expenses -as there's nowhere to go- so you can just sell your car.

You won't live like a king, but you won't be eating ramen unless you want to.

I think that is not that bad for a freelancer without reputation. As you get better, you'll earn more for your work and you may get bigger jobs. With a nice commercial portfolio you may even get a job at a company paying you.

What do you expect.
100k income in your first year?
I think you're overrating the position
as (self-proclaimed) artist.
Most of the things a 3d 'artist' does can be done by cheap workers in India today. They are the people you're competing with as a beginner. You want more money? Then you have to be experinced and innovative in your creativity. And that happens only over the time. As long as your work is not more worth then the work of the guys from india, you'll not earn lots of money.

I dont think you understand, son. You need to make $500 a week to survive in america, meaning $2000 a month. Not $250 a week, like you're suggesting.

First. Fuck you, kid.

Second, i think small towns in Canada are much cheaper than big cities in the US. In the US you may pay 1.5k for renting a small rathole. At other places you may pay 350 dollars for a room in a flat rou rent with some others, having 650 dollars left for food and some other shit. You don't become rich in this state of a career, but if you think a apprentice of a craft would earn more money, then you should not call others a 'son', kiddie.
