Ricy, I noticed that Chaos, in collaboration with Architizer, published an industry survey in 2023 and followed it up with an updated version for 2024 and 2025. While it's great to see these reports continuing, I did notice that they left out some important areas. For example, we don’t see details on how much time studios and freelancers spend on different parts of a project like modeling, rendering, and revisions. There’s also a lack of insight into job security, pricing structures, and demographics.
These aspects were covered in much more detail in the CGarchitect survey from 2015, and that kind of depth really helped us understand the industry's day-to-day operations.
Wouldn’t it be valuable to bring back a more comprehensive industry survey? Having that level of data is incredibly useful for studios like ours to plan, adapt, and stay aligned with where the industry is heading.
