Maybe if you don't have programming experience. But if you do, you can pretty much learn it on the fly.

again, technical artist get hired for technical garbage. they dont get hired so they can do modelling/rigging and any of the other shit that you can do without scripting lol you get hired by having quality work and having connections dumb child

having the ability to automate your job(assuming your employer is clueless about it as long as possible of course) is much better than not having it, just think about all those boring repetitive tasks you perform, never wanted to ease it up a bit? time spent on them could be spent elsewhere, like improving your own skills
sure you can get by with third party coders to some point but eventually you will bump into a problem they didn't think about and you'd wish you knew how to do it yourself
the more varied skillset you have the more valuable you are

[Anonymous No.669410]

That's somewhat true on some level, but there's literally no need to get into any coding at all if you're something like a character artist, rendering artist, props modeler, texturer, etc.
It's not even relevant. You could write ice skating in your resume and it would make the same impact. Not everyone needs to fiddle with code, especially those who get hired for their artistic abilities. Shading and rigging might be another story though..

[Anonymous No.669431]

what is there to know? Most people who use python for what they do will never have to use the object-oriented features. They just write exactly what they want to do. If they need to know what function to use to do something, they just look it up.

Useless proprietary shit. You can use MEL in Maya and nothing else, you're not doing yourself a favour by putting in the work to learn MEL when you can learn Python in the same time and be able to code just about anything that's not too performance related.

if you're using python in maya you still have to learn mel by extension. After all, the whole point of maya.cmds is you dipping into mel commands while using the much better syntax that comes with python. If it's a quick script that doesn't rely on custom user menus and big string parsing and huge nested loops and shit, might as well just use mel on its own desu.

Here's a couple of secrets nobody will tell you about programming:

* You don't have to go to school to learn it

* Just do a complete project with some language, actually use it to achieve something, that's fucking it. Then keep doing it, bigger and better things

* Programming is hard, only a few can actually make a living doing it

[Anonymous No.671984]

>>671970
I disagree on the last part. Although good programming is hard, any fucker copypasting PHP can go on their way creating WordPress themes, websites and plugins for a living.

Yeah, it depends on what you mean by "programming". Writing Python scripts is easy, making Unity games is moderately difficult, writing your own raytracer is hard, working on existing codebases with ten million lines of code from the 90s is fucking ungodly.

It's not necessarily about having a "talent" for it or being a genius either, just experience and effort.
