Any other 3d artists on treehouse?

I used to be, but I decided to switch from aspirant 3D real time artist to front-end developer, and I don't regret it. That's why I first registered here at treehouse. Thanks to that I found a steady job quite quickly in comparison with 3D. The only jobs I could have as 3D artist were on small projects, and jobs I had to do remotely or small missions. With a family I coudln't keep going this way.

That's however a field I really like a lot... I often want to start my 3D application and start some projects but I can't due to the lack of free time...

My goals ? be more effective with coding :) and maybe create again some 3D scenes when I have some free time again !

Konrad Pilch nice man so an environment artist then? There is actually more jobs for that then a 3d character artist. I created an environment before and brought it into UDK would be cool to do a castle one day in unreal engine that will take some time though. I want to be more effective with coding as well. It all takes time game development, I spent two weeks studying coding in Unity and I don't even remember it haha, its like anything else you gotta keep at it. I did a course on rails from Udemy was pretty cool, I made a blog with it. Still alot to learn I havent touched the rails track on treehouse yet though, don't want to become too bogged down with learning too much at once.

geoffrey Yes its true, there is no money in character design unless you started it at an early age and have built yourself up. All the good jobs would require relocating to California , as far as 3d freelance I get clients once in a blue moon.

My goals are to make creative interactive web applications, and make some wordpress themes. I love to design, and do art. I have alot of goals and can see myself working as a front end developer or wordpress theme developer. I just gotta keep studying. I finished the wordpress course how to create a theme now I am using foundation framework for the first time and creating a site for artists who want a quick way to show their work. I have also been dabbling with Three.js. I read the success stories and I don't know I am at 10204 now points wise, but still need to show proven work. I really need a new job though because my current job, I do way too much, and get little pay for it. I literally do IT, answer phones, live chat, print, webdesign, programming, take sales calls sometimes. I am not learning anything new with my current employment, I really need to get into a front end job and have some new challenges, and work for a company that is structured properly and will allow me to actually work on what was assigned to me web or design wise.

I also eventually wanted to put out interactive comics I create using web based technologies, create an art troubleshooter app for android, eventually make a game, put a book on designs too much stuff haha.

Some of my 3d Artwork can be found here btw http://nufftalon.artstation.com

I like to create 3d in the browser my goals are to give users a brand new interactive experience and combine my two passions of 3d and web together. http://codepen.io/nufftalon/

This is a 3d scene I was working on I modeled it in 3ds max its all javascript http://garypcalhoun.com/scifi_scene/

Konrad Pilch hey man thats cool I am not really on skype usually google hangouts I prefer but my skype is nufftalon3dstudio my email is hawktimewebdesign@gmail.com

I am down for collabs if anyone else wants to add me feel free to do so:)

geoffrey exactly. So I have basically stopped doing 3d or at least limiting it to weekends some times, so far I have had good progression with learning and application so no regrets here. I definitely do too much for my own good I need to focus on specific areas and go for that. I also see on alot of job postings you need to know this framework or that framework, or like in my example I have been studying wordpress development and then I was studying drupal as well, I see a job posting for joomla 20 minute drive from me haha I am like aw come on give me a break today lol. I think interactive webdesigner is better for me this way I can still be artsy. I am not too keen on backend dev work, but I do not overlook either. When I first came on treehouse I started with PHP dev track, then full stack, now wordpress dev so I don't know man something will click eventually. I really wanted to try UI Design but I do not have a mac I always wanted one they are pretty expensive, I recently built my pc early this year and spent well over 1k on it so yeah.

I've done a lot of 3D modeling (still do) though I've worked primarily as a level designer. I've worked on a couple of commercial titles and still do freelance 3D work. I also taught level design and lighting and texturing for games at a local University, so if you have any questions I would be happy to help.

Yeah thanks the system is adding that to my links for some reason...
