all that knowledge and skill you need to accumulate, just to get pennies on the dollar? WTF?

Good. fire and financially kill all artists from /3/ and India. They should go do welding instead, and the art industry will heal with less people saturating it.

Most of those are the cucks who want to work in the video game industry and take pennies for it.

i make 100k as a fucking graphic designer with barely any 3d experience lmaoooo
>>
>>1022284
I'm not surprised, you don't get into the arts and expect to be rich. Unless you're extremely retarded.
What are the $100k+ doing though? Senior positions where they don't actually do any 3D anymore?
>>
>>1022284
This is a job for having fun, not for making bank. Doing art for money is a fool's errand.

as mentioned in another thread, a good vtuber rigger can get into that bracket while staying independent, as can patreon/substar animators.

genuinely cannot imagine doing 3D as a job. I would hate it so fast. way better as a hobby

for real. Being an artist became "cool" and suddenly it got flooded with joiner types just trying to have something interesting to say about themselves at parties.

20+ years in CG industry. Done bunch of stuff. Ads, tv shows, movies, games etc.. Lots of cool projects and few absolute bangers.
It was fun back in the days. Also paid really well. Did my archviz sideqests and it paid 5x average annual salary. Then it started to change. All those out of box solutions, one button add-ons, free software like blender, intense stock usage, more accessible “intelligent” software, amateurs making tutorials for other amateurs causing saturated market etc. Now, i think I’m pretty much done with that, looking my way out. This AI thing is unbearable, can’t even hire anyone anymore. It’s all fake now, If I wasn’t on this top % currently, I would be long gone and doing something else. CG industry is absolute garbage now.

Is this /3/'s dating strategy where /3/ thinks 3D will land them girls at parties?
>>
>>1022284
LOOK AT THE STATE OF /3/

Key requirements
• 45–60 sec full-CG animation, mastered in EXR / ProRes
• Two synchronised outputs: 1) main LED wall (anamorphic moments critical: wave crest, snow burst, petal swirl, heat shimmer) 2) circular LED floor (responsive highlights, energy ripples)
• High-end fluid, particle and energy simulations to sell the transformation stages
• Camera framing and perspective that exploit the booth geometry for maximum pop-out illusion
• Final files delivered to exact display specs (I will supply CAD, pixel maps and colour calibration data)

€3000-5000 EUR paid on delivery

FUCKING HELL

is this the future of 3D?

>>1022284
That's a lot considering most people earn $50k.
>>
>>1022284
Are these counting in also self employed people? Because as far as I know self employment and becoming basically eceleb is the only real way of making it as an artist of any kind.

lump of labor fallacy
current demand is not static and there is a lot of untapped demand currently
the market isn't "saturated" its just really hard to connect buyers to people who can do the shit they want done at the skill level needed
>>
>>1022644
Yes it is saturated
Because every shitskin from india or his favelas shack can install blender for free and open a tutorial

Oh no someone is making tutorials we at /3/ don't want that
>>
>>1022710
i swear people make more money making blender tutorials than anyone has ever made actually using blender in a job. it's like a crazy pyramid scheme where u learn blender so u can make blender tutorials to teach more people blender so they can someday make monetized blender tutorials and on and on. meanwhile maya users are just quietly working on triple a video games and hollywood movies...

I can't fucking wait until every single stinky DEI artist occupying the jobs will get laid off. It's so beautiful reading their crying and stomping and sobbing on reddit knowing they have to give up their gold spoon dream and do a physical job. There are too many artists... we must heal. The huge 3dcg balloon oversaturated with "artists" will deflate soon in a satisfying way

>pennies on the dollar
using what metric?
how much you got swindled for your software?
free exists.
your time?
what made you think your time was worth anybody's money?

It used to be that you could learn some basic 3D skills and get some sort of a job in the industry, then you'd learn as you go and likely make it to the top of the industry.
Nowadays there is an insane amount of competition. Everyone needs to become wildly skilled at 3D to even compete at a junior level.

I was listening to one of Valve's 3D artist's biography and he got his first job back around 1998 or so in Ukraine by seeing an advertisement and ringing at the apartment where GSC gameworld used to be, they chatted and smoked in the balcony and he immediatly got a job with simple 3ds max basics. Afterwards he got employed at Crytek and they funded a nice apartment for each individual foreign employee and sponsored the visa as they worked on Far Cry for around 3 years.

They had it so easy back then it wasn't an effort at all, and everything was chill and fun.

Looking at our dystopia today is just bleak, fucking outsourced jeets and asians everywhere with millions competition among the globe and impossible to get a junior role.

if youre from europe or usa youre mostly competing with europeans and americans that are better than you and a tiny bit against jeets and asians
unless you work in a small shit startup, no big company actually wanna hire jeets and asians especially if they dont speak english
any big company (actually) knows that one good of you is worth 10 of jeets and asian. they just give it to a dude that is better than you

I'am. Just laid off CG and went on to make money in the NSFW industry with my body on camera instead since that's where the money's at. Recommend you to do something similar. Start selling NSFW models.

>boomer camwhores and sells nsfw models
Yeah nah, you're not him. I'm sure someone else - maybe a subhuman like cris - found that funny, though.
