hello i have been looking at collages beacuse im soon going to one and i have just started year 11 but i think ive been looking at the wronge job i what to do can you just tell me if thier is a job name for making 3D modles and adding animation to them like (e.g blender) is thier any jobs like that?
thank you i feel stupid for asking this
There is 3D graphics artist, Modeler, Animator are all titles that come to mind. The first covering both aspects, and the last two covering more specific fields.
3D Graphics Artist is a common title for what you are looking for.
No offence Adrian, but you should really try to brush up on your grammar. Being able to communicate clearly will under pin anything you wish to do in the future and in a market that’s likely to become even more competitive in the future, employers will be more keen to hire someone who can be understood easily.
As Ntero had responded above, there are many roles you can aim for and I wish you luck, but don’t rely just on raw talent.
none taken i no but im sorting out with my english i struggle with it
Best of luck to you Adrian. You may well already be doing this, but Google “game courses”, “3d design courses” etc. and look at the details given about the courses on offer. There are quite a few popping up now. (My son is in year 9 with a similar passion for games and design and will quite possibly be hot on your heels!) .
Also have a look at Maya and 3D Studio Max as they are often seen as more “industry standard” with regard to animation and modelling. They may well have student versions available which will help (especially if free). Both these programs can open up avenues into games, film and more - don’t be blinkered into thinking of one possible career path.
Anyway, enough old fart waffle from me.
thank you for helping me out i will try them searches up! and thank for the courses advise
Hi Adrian,
I’ve worked in games companies and it seems the majority of game artists (generic term for Modellers, Animators, Concept Artists) have a degree in a related field, such as BA Arts, Design etc.
This means you’ll have to get a few good grades at GCSE and A level so you can get into a decent university.
Applying for games jobs is extremely competitive too - you’ll need to put together a relevant portfolio of your artwork to send along with your CV.
If it’s your dream job, don’t be discouraged but be realistic. You may have to work in other areas to build up your experience and portfolio enough to be accepted into a games artist position.
Good luck!
