Hi,
I have seen a some people on here and elsewhere offering their services as a 3d visualiser / modeller etc, and it got me thinking about how many people actually make a living from this type of work? and how good you need to be?
The reason I ask is this:
I am currently thinking about developing my 3d skills as a basis for a career, and I am therefore interested in hearing from people already in this field (particularly those in the UK doing architectural based modelling/rendering).
Through university I was interested in 3d modelling, but I had never really had enough time or a reason to pursue it. However recently I have started using SU for a few projects at work and I have found myself enjoying this much more than the rest of my job, and could see myself doing it full time. This has given me the drive to develop these skills in my spare time (which isn't much), I have also being trying to get to grips with rendering (with KT) in my spare time to compliment my su skills.
Currently my portfolio of this type of work is minimal, but this is something which I intend to change, but for now i'm just investigating my options... so any advice / comments you have would be appreciated - how easy/hard is it to get work like this etc etc..
Richard
