Indeed the 3D industry is very alluring.
Seen enough of the plights through which many 3D aspirants go through now-a-days, we thought it would be a good thing to guide them along a proper channel.
We have seen many 3D aspirants, but when we try to get from them what they want to do exactly in 3D, they are short of information. We think it would be better if you know some things at this stage.

Do your have the inspiration, patience, readiness for blank phases and ambition for serious learning? If you are thinking that a course of 2 or 4 months will fetch you a high salary job in 3D, you are starting on the wrong track. Just as any educational field requires a serious learning for atleast 2 to 4 years, same is true in 3D. But in contrast to other fields, in 3D you can start earning reasonably well right away after completion of small courses and continue your further learning side by side.

Stage I:
To get a fair enough job in 3D, the minimum skills you must possess:
- Modelling ( quality modeling alone can fetch you a job )
- Texturing, Lighting, Animation, Rendering to reasonable extent.
On developing this skillset, you are at a stage where you can decide what is that which intrigues you more in 3D.
Learn to swim first, then decide which stroke you want to be master in, maybe true in case of 3D too. So if you have already taken the first decision, you can start your 3D career.
Demo Reel: A quality demo reel showing your modeling skills with fair enough animation, lighting and rendering.
Stage II:
3D Modeler
product modeling, game low poly modeling, etc.

The allied posts in 3D industries can be various depending on their studio structure:
Animation Coordinator, Digital Painter, Lighting, Post-production Supervisor, Technical Directors, Render Wrangler, Sculptor to name a few.
Even after this it would be better to suggest here that since you have taken the first decision to be in 3D, you can start the preliminary courses. Doing this will give you a fair idea of the vastness of 3D field, its extensions, and what is the most appropriate subdivision you would want to follow. Remember, its always good to be better in everything, but it may take ages. For getting a job, you need to be a master in only one. |
Training Centers: Once you pay the fee, you are given access to library, high speed computer, best books on related subject, magazines and video tutorials. Plus you always have the tutor to guide you through blocks you may encounter while learning 3D. You will always have a quality content at your hand and you may get practical inhouse studio experience if training center has such facility. |
