What's y'all idea in case of losing any job opportunity in 3D field, due to either lack of demand or just straight up no positions left for 3D artists, I've been learning how to create in 3D on the side for 3 years now in hopes to make it into my job one day, but with that AI shit going on around my thoughts are bleaker than ever. I have some money saved up for curses and studying in 3D field, I've bought myself new PC recently, I'm thinking about finding secondary source of income so that I can enjoy making 3D art despite not making any money out of it. This place is as good as any to ask this question so I guess I can just spam this dead ass board with another AI thread.

I need to sort my shit out in span of 5 days and I can't decide
>I'm torn between getting a career into 3D (this means signing up for a degree that has courses on VFX, Video editing, Motion Graphics, 3D animation & modeling, game development)
vs
>signing up for a "systems information degree" (not CS) which gives a - not so shallow not so deep - knowledge about Java, Php, SQL and just programming in general + management + development cycle/life etc.
Both are 3 years long, the problem is the following, I sort of want to do 3D but I have no idea about it really and I don't even really know what kind of things I want to do with it anyway, I know very little about blender, I just know you can work in games and all that but I don't care much about that desu and most of all I don't know how realistic it is for me to land a job about it, like working maybe as a freelance video editor or freelance motion graphics, or even animator
I mean, I feel like if I was meant to do that as a job I would already be knowledgeable about it in some way or other and I don't really know much about anything I can't do even a basic animation but I DO FEEL I want to do it as well, like at least try to do fun things with 3D like porn etc
HOWEVER, I also don't want to be a full developer because while I sort of like programming I dread the idea of having to look for bugs in code, debug stuff or just being super technical in general. Ideally my plan would be to get that degree and try to land a project manager or some sort of manager position (not tech lead) where I'm managing people while having some technical background but I don't even know how feasible it is as a first job.
I'm 26 by the way

Hello, ive been working on game on my free time doing models, animations and levels, problem is im not able to find a programmer for this to work with revenue share. Yes i know its hard to find people to spend time in an unpaid project and yes i know my models aren't AAA but in my opinion they look decent.
I have been looking for programmers on reddit and most of the time the just end up quitting after a while
Basic game loop is similar to Deep rock galactic and Lethal company, pretty easy to work with them and popular Hiring one is impossible for me now.
Should i keep working on it and then try to find someone? is it even worth working on it ??

It seems the AI reaper has come for 3D as well. I started getting into 3D because I thought it would be safer for a little while but it seems that went up in smoke. I don't want to stop animating and trying to get better by any means but I'm just demotivated by the Sora stuff.
People say this is going to be a tool for real artists but I don't see how I'm going to use any of this stuff beyond being a prompt monkey for making my own stuff.

My projects have become so complicated that I'm starting to get anxiety, fr. I come home from work and I can barely make any progress because its just so complicated. Once I started scripting houdini really hard and reading real pro tips on discord my artistic eye just sort of skyrocketed. Now there is no going back. What do I do now?

The video I shared below has a different time index to its actual length.
The video is 0.2s long but its time index is 6s.
Do any of you know how to create something like this? Please explain.
It looks like a bug, but the person who created this video did it on purpose.
The video file is attached below.

if you were tasked with creating a heavily stylized original 2D character in 3D, how exactly would you go about making sense of how the hair should look?

So I've made this post yesterday -

You can actually poison AI/LLMs with "wrong" input. A frame is a basically a micro part of a video, so in theory you could also apply this for videos (like 3D videos, for example)
Discuss about it.

What the fuck am I looking at.

What the fuck?

>See this.
ITS JUST PLUGGED INTO EMISSIVE?!
I have not a fucking clue what cursed magic they used to create this decal with only emission. Where the hell do I even start in trying to convert this?
I could create an alpha for it easily but I'd have to do that 60+ times because other materials use this same method.
I feel like someone is gonna say a combination of like 20 words and then I'll feel really stupid.

Got a close friend who is a professional in machine learning working at one of the leading ai companies (not naming for confidentiality). He showed me how much further along internal text to 3D models are compared to the demos released currently, and all I can say is there will be no skill barrier for 3d within the next 5 years maximum. Invest your time into something that has slightly more longevity if you want to have a job when ai can automate essentially every part of 3d from modeling, editing, texturing, animating and everything else.

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.

You there anon who works with UE4
How do i fix these blocky shadows? looks something with their resolution
i already tried those commands:
>r.Shadow.CSM.TransitionScale
>r.Shadow.FadeExponent
>r.Shadow.DistanceScale (seems to increase visibility but lowers overall resolution from closer pov)
>r.Shadow.RadiusThreshold (dont changes anything)
Its dynamic shadow using one point of lighting from the window.
