Hello everyone,
to begin I will say that I’m Spanish, I’m 28 years old, live in Madrid and my english is horrible, so I apologize in advance.
To be honest, nowadays no skill would stand out, I consider myself an apprentice of everything and teacher of nothing. I’m attracted by everything what it implies 3D and always I’m learning new things, I could never have specialized myself in anything (one of my major problems), already it was for lack of time or for indecision.
If we base on what more I have practised, my better skills would be the modeling, special effects (liquids, physical dynamics…) and it’s possible that a little of texturing.
Something that I want to learn are enviroments modeling, rigging, lighting and visual effects, I’m lost enough in these topics, but I’m opened for any suggestion, without forgetting to improve what I already know, especially to improve in modeling, sculpting techniques and more efficient meshes, without unnecessary polygons or badly constructed.
With regard to 2D, I’m not very good whit pencils, but the fact is that a little I defend myself, some time ago I studied for two years traditional animation and natural drawing, it helped me to have slightly more of hand, though I don’t practise it nowadays so much as I should.
With regard to that it motivates me to do 3D, since I was a child I’ve been good with the computers and with the time I discovered that I had two hobbys, programming and 3D design. When I finished the obligatory education, I didn’t have very clear to what I wanted to devote and finally I chose to study programming in the university. After the university I realized the studies of traditional animation and drawing that I was commenting previously (in a private school), during two of three years that there was occupying the training (it wasn’t a very good experience) and I started working as programmer.
Here in Spain the whole education related to the design, 2D or 3D it’s private, except the career of fine arts, but they do not teach anything of what I was looking for. Nowadays I’m employed as analyst programmer at an American multinational called Accenture (a consultancy), a lot of work, many overtime but a good salary. I lead more than 8 years being employed at this area, but I have never stopped practising 3D and hope not to have to do it. Though I has not decided to leave my work, not before another fixed work to have, I would like to start doing works inside the industry of 3D, like freelance or in projects of full time.
I think that there has come the time of going further away and starting being employed at the industry of 3D, that is something that I want to do since a lot time ago, but I don’t think I’ve neither the necessary skills nor sufficient good works to show to obtain a work. This one is the main reason because of my interest on this course, besides to improve myself, to know people with the same hobbys, to be able to speak and receive advice from professionals of the industry, to force myself to obtain good works and a demo reel (my first demo reel) that to be able to show in an interview, without forgetting, a good english practice that I need to learn , because come to this point if you have something in clear of this text I’m satisfied. The english is not a skill to standing out in my, to me it’s very difficult to end the assessment.
Other one of the reasons that motivate me to continuing learning and to force myself every day more, they are my two cousins, both designers, one living in Vancouver and working for RockStar (senior modeler) and other one living in Japan (I don’t know at what company is employed, technical director), that always have given me advice and have orientated me when I don’t know what to do with a model, texture, etc.
I hope some day to be able to work with them or at least in the same industry and that they can see that I also have obtained what I was trying.
As final point, I expect to enjoy this course all that I think, thanks and we see during the test week.
