I m in the CG business, and I want to change direction and help me

I'm kind of CG in the CG circle, so I'll give you some advice.

You want to make a transition to characters and animation, let's talk about characters first, doing character modeling and architectural renderings are completely different concepts, I don't know if you have an art foundation, if you have the best, if not, it may be more difficult, there are two kinds of characters, one is the game character, you need to use maya and zbrush and bp3 ps, etc., you can go to a game company to find a job, etc., and the other kind of character is the character in the 3D cartoon on TV, basically you only need to use Maya

In terms of animation, of course, you can use Maya, you can go to a general animation company, do animation, and it's better to call it an animator, but it's actually K animation.

In terms of the game character, the rest is Maya modeling, then ZB carving, then ZB generating normal maps, then topology high poly, and finally color, specular maps, and that's basically it.

In terms of animation company characters, ZB is rarely used, because domestic cartoons almost do not use normal technology on the characters, so ZB does not need to learn Of course, if ZB is better, another is to bind the character model, the general company, the division of labor will not be so fine, it is impossible for one person to let you do a job, most of them are modeling and binding is a person's work.

Let's talk about how to learn these things.

My personal opinion is to find a study class to compare because it is very difficult to learn by yourself, but you can also watch some tutorials first, if you can really understand well, then you don't need to go to the study class, if not, you still have to let the study class take you to get started, the better schools in China have IDMT in Shenzhen and Mars Times in Beijing, of course, the tuition is more expensive, but the level is still relatively good.

CG resource aspect Give you this station.

There's a lot of stuff in there, and there's a lot of it on the eMule.

Finally, I would like to give you some advice, CG This line of work is not a high salary as it seems to outsiders, to put it bluntly, you will be very tired and tired, and it is not much to make money, you have to be mentally prepared.

I suggest that if you want to learn animation, don't learn character modeling.,Animation just learn Maya software well.,Besides, you'll max.,Learning Maya is easy to get started.,There aren't many tools for animation software.,Animation is mainly your own understanding and creation.,Imagination.。 This is the fastest way to get into the animation industry. However, it will take a while to learn the role, and the role will not only have to master the detailed software (because there are many tools used in the modeling phase, Maya must be learned, and ZB can wait for Maya to learn almost before learning).

You also need to have a good foundation in art, which takes time to practice, and I think it will be difficult to learn on your own.

In addition, I agree with the above advice, CG is not a high salary in the eyes of outsiders, to put it bluntly, you will be very tired and tired, and the money is not as much as you think.

In fact, many people are in your situation and want to change careers, but they have to learn from scratch. Recently, the 299 forum has free online teaching, you can go to ** to see... Let's get under 299 by yourself If you want to change careers, you have to stick to it, if not, do it now!!

You can go to Perfect Power to see, there should be what you want, the overall feeling of the school is not bad, and now there are discounts, I just signed up for the name, I haven't started to learn that, I suggest you come and take a look Address: Block C, Zhongya Building, No. 8, North Honeycomb, Haidian District, Beijing, this is the headquarters.

I want to learn too, but I don't have the time.

If you want to learn systematically, you can consider signing up for a live online class, and recommend CGWANG's online class. The teacher speaks carefully, you can watch it back after the class, and there are also the same type of recorded classes that you can learn for free (give away lifelong VIP).
