Hello,
I am a former 3D rigger, I have been working most of my career in VFX companies for movies.
Now I am living in Eastern Europe and I want to start in archViz. I'd like to exploit a more creative aspect of 3D. I have skills in modelling and rendering (I did a specialised CG school in France, but I might have to actualise my knowledge as it was a few years back)
My questions are pretty simple :
- is it worth it ? I have read quite a few topics and it's pretty depressing, the business seems to die if I read correctly.
- I am not going to ask how much I can make, but instead : how hard and how long could it take to make about 1,000 dollars per month for someone with skills but no real contacts ?
- Where should I start ? I was thinking about creating some renders for a villa (interior, exterior), and then for a building, in order to show my abilities and hope to find some contracts. Is there something I need to pay attention to, here ?
- I have checked some freelancing websites and it's astonishing to see so many people applying for so many low paying tasks :s
Any piece of advice is welcome
Thank you !
