3d Courses
There are now in Brazil a hundred technical schools, training centers and universities that somehow or other try to teach techniques and concepts of computer graphics and 3d on the arts in areas of advertising, film, television, games, digital entertainment, architecture between other. Most of these institutions are concentrated especially in the city of São Paulo, where there are several animation studios, production companies and producers of video games, plus the largest agencies in the country. And that is why it emerged in the last two years a sharp increase in the supply of 3D courses online and through video-lessons in DVDs , to meet people who can not go to these sites or even if they live nearby, but not want to have to face traffic and time wasted on travel, etc. costs extra.
If you are a technology enthusiast and art produced in 3D and want to pursue a successful career in this segment, know that you have to explore not only the existing tools, such as modeling and animation software including 3D Studio Max, Maya, Blender etc. . but should also explore the artistic concepts that always end up overlapping the tools. Therefore, it is essential you always get referrals (national and international) in order to explore their creative and artistic side.
Although there are many sources to search here in Brazil, you must expand your interest to other countries like the U.S., which is still the largest market for audiovisual productions in the world. But we can also include Britain, Canada, Australia, Spain and others. The market for electronic games, for example, has already surpassed the sales of film, so it is natural that many people are looking to migrate to this market, but is still much more developed and consumed in these countries. We have in Brazil many talented artists who have created characters for games and movies, including some who now live outside of Brazil. It is important to know that you can even get hired by an outside company, especially as this is already happening with studios and producers who provide domestic services to others.
The animation industry, another example, only been keeping a steady growth, opening more and more job opportunities for youth around the world. It is therefore essential that you know English in order to get referrals and opportunities outside of Brazil too. Participate in forums to hear opinions from people who already work with 3D, what courses did, if only learned through tutorials with videos on youtube , search long and hard before finally making a decision so you know exactly which path you should follow. And finally, when you have already produced their own art in 3D, it is essential that you create an online portfolio , so you can use it as their main calling card, if you really want to become an outstanding professional in market, either as a game designer, an animator, modeler or 3d artist.
Lot of research before diving only what there is of course free or cheap, because sometimes you take the time to learn certain technique of production or creation ends up giving you a much higher cost than you would if you had opted for a course paid and higher quality. But it has to be careful with courses also sometimes very expensive and you end up not bringing you a more cost-effective.
