🗑️ 🧵 3d courses at university
Anonymous at Wed, 14 Feb 2024 00:23:23 UTC No. 973949
Any one able to give me a rundown on what they're like or what your experience was? what programs you used, general usefulness, what to expect, etc.
I'm an employee at the local uni and all classes are 100% free for me. Considering trying some 3d classes, especially for animation because it's easily my weakest point by far. if it's generally a waste of time though I'll just continue with the self taught route. on the other hand, if they aren't a waste I'll definitely consider making 3d my second degree.

If they teach you about workflow, then yes. Workflow is very important.

You should ask them for their workflow never enter without knowing what's their workflow

Studied arch and law at uni. Took a 3ds max course for the lulz. By then I had over 10 years of experience in 3ds max since the days of discreet.
Professor was an idiot in 3ds max did'nt even know how to use the coordinate system correctly. Got angry told me to gtfo of his course and I could get an A+.

Any job where you move imaginary pixels is low skilled labor than a janitor. Don't do it OP do it as a hobby instead.

I guess architects are now considered to be a low skill job

Chris, you're unemployed like the rest of this board. Why makes you think it's a good idea to make these threads about employment? And how did your previous job offering at the TV station go?

was the impression I got today honestly, all their staff are old as shit too. also they won't let me choose a course despite meeting prereqs, they lock you into a 4 year program with a very inflexible schedule if you want to take anything past introductory courses which is almost impossible if you're working full time already. idk if that's a common thing in this field but that's definitely not how my first degree worked, nor how my current department handles their courses. also they really try to force you into gaming for some reason.
like nigga I just want to get better at rigging and animation. gonna consider sitting in on their intro to animation to see if I can glean anything but yeah I'm just gonna continue down the self taught route I think and just buy a course online or continue subsisting off of youtube videos.

whatever you do don't restrict yourself to YT. use forums (not this one) and resort to books/courses when needed

if you're referring to reddit, I'd rather take bad advice here than good advice there.
