Is it possible to get a job at a studio if you write a good cpu renderer? I've been working on one for weeks but its hundreds if not thousands of times slower than gpu.

It's written on C, uses SDL2 for IO and Open Dynamics Engine for raycast acceleration. I've written it primarily because I wanted to try to use a physics library collison support for rendering.

I think if you have those skills you should definitely be applying at whatever reputable studio whenever the opportunities come up

So let me get this straight. You have the technical knowledge to write a cpu renderer and you ask on the posibility of getting a job on a generic studio? You are also telling us that you have been working weeks on such renderer and it's still slower than a gpu?

So is it possible fo you to get a job at a studio. I dunno possibly?!?!?!? Am I tripping wtf is up with you?!?!?!
>>
>>1004951

Depends entirely on what you mean by studio and in what industry. Building a ray tracer is something that frankly many upper end graphics programming classes will have you do, so you wouldn't exactly be unique for people who go for SWE in RND/pipeline TD roles. CPU based would be more applicable in vfx/animation than gaming but as long as you show you're a competent programmer, you can find any entry level job in gaming or film. Probably not now though with entertainment being shellacked by layoffs. If you can program, you're probably better off grinding leetcode and get a FAANG bag for two years then hop to entertainment.

non artists don't understand how much effort a work took, they only see the end result and see a magical thing.

You also need to get into the mindset of optimizing your workflow.

Nobody will pay you to being the guy that takes average effort and speed.
Companies will pay you more if you can deliver quality at much cheaper/faster time than your competition.

Figure out what's the thing that take you a month to make and seek for alternative methods that take less time and effort.

But what's the point of learning 3D? Like what can you realistically do if you get good at it?

Can the average person make a living out of this, or is it like 2D art where 99% don't even have a job prospect

Imagine giving a shit about muh "job prospects"

If this is your passion everything else is a distraction. It doesn't matter if your house is nice because you're going to be spending all of your time looking at a screen or the back of your eyelids. You don't actually want a woman because she's inevitably going to realize that you view anything that doesn't involve your craft as a distraction and will get bored of you. She'll realize this after a few months of being a huge unyielding distraction. You don't want kids because to have kids requires allowing a woman to distract you, and once the kids are made she can and will wield the power of the state to become the ultimate distraction.

All you need in this life is a desk to sit at. If you can't figure out the logistics of making that happen idk what to tell you. If you care about other things more than this I don't understand what your question even is- focus on those things and do this on the weekends (if your ugly girlfriend isn't distracting you with superfluous trips to target)

I discovered a very simple new step in my workflow to increase the quality of my pixel textures. And It just needs 20 minutes of works. 100% happy with it.

Took me basically 2 months to figure out how to increase my model quality with just 20 minutes of aditional overhead.

Honestly, I need to improve this.

There's two improvements I can make.

Separate the body meshes and the head and hair textures from the costume textures.

And then simply use my upscaled pixel art method for the costume, but keep the face and hair under much bigger resolution than my previous method.

I need also to see if I need to increase the resolution of the face mesh to double the resolution.

Not my niche, but it shouldn't be that hard to generate customers or networks.
Log in to VRChat, use your self-made high quality furry avatar, name yourself something with furry and artist and idle in some of the more popular furry worlds.
After 3-4 days you should have enough contacts to get access to all major communication channels of the furries.
The rest is as usual.

You go looking for customers where the customers are - who would have thought that.

>But what's the point of models like that? You can do that in 10 minutes using the snakehook brush and you still need to completely sculpt over it.
NTA, I'm using AI to make t-pose models for posing units in blender for my miniature games. They look like shit compared to an actual sculpter's output, but I'm not an actual sculpter, I'm a rando, and at 28mm I can hardly tell the difference anyway. It lowered the bar for getting into modeling from "learn to be an artist from scratch, here's a blender cube, fuck you" to "here's a perfectly serviceable model to pose how you want and sculpt just the bits you don't."

I've noticed that a lot of these AI 3D Model generators always produce squished humans and I think that has to do with the fact that the volume of the input data is nowhere near the size of a human. This is why most of these models advertise with chibi characters because their proportions more closely fill the rectangular volume compared to a tall humanoid character.

It depends what you want to do in 3D, but it's very useful to know how to draw when learning 3D sculpting
At the very least it will teach you to observe, many times someone asks me for feedback and I have to hold myself back from saying "are you blind nigga? I'm very impressed you managed to sculpt this without looking at your references once"
>>
>>1006981
It can depend. They're great places for traditional art and history, which is something that's still useful, even if you intend to be all digital.
Courses for digital art or 'game design' are fucking awful, though. The people making them either don't know the subject in any practical sense, or it takes so long to get the software and course briefs approved, that it's obsolete in a year or two.
