is their anyone out there that is teaching 3d on the side? i'd like know how that experience is.

i'm currently working full-time at an big arch office, but teaching on the side at 2 schools. i like teaching much better than the corporate world. eventually i'd like to get into a university with an arch school and do research/teach on 3d stuff.

 

anyone out there have this sort of interest?

Sounds like a familiar story. I too work full time in a large Architectural firm and teach a couple nights a week at a local community college. I also like teaching a lot more than working in the firm. I enjoy the interraction with students and other instructors, much less stress, no over nighters for days on end, and it even pays better! So what's not to like!

 

However I would miss doing "real" work and so my dream is to teach full time and do freelance work on the side and I think I'm getting close to achieving that. I don't know that I will ever teach at a University Level, for one thing the Architecture schools around here discourage technology training as a part of thier curriclum, and for another I don't have a proffesional degree much less being accredited. But to tell you the truth I'm quite happy teaching at technical schools. I deal with people who are actually in the work field, and the students are much more dedicated to technology than they would be at a university level. Feel free to e-mail me as I would love to talk to someone else who so closely resembles my work schedule!

I work at the university, where I do research (programming C++ for a conceptual CAD-tool) and I teach a part of the CAD-courses, using AutoCAD & VIZ & Sketchup, to the students of architecture.

 

I think halftime teaching and halftime production work would be a nice mix.

I teach classes in 3d AutoCAD and Max in a technical degree program at an NCARB school (night class). The pay is $800/class. For the graduate program, the administration hired an MIT graduate that got rid of all their VIZ/MAX licenses and teaches them to use Rhino.

is anyone interested in doing research for 3D stuff at a research university? i have a m.arch from a pretty reputable university, but i don't have my license. doing 3D full-time has gottne me to stop working on my license and i am not sure when it's going to startup again.

 

my greater goal is to be part of a arch univ. and research and teach. if the income is not good enough, freelance or teach more on the side at tech schools.

 

anyone out there have similar goals?

 

btw, those who do teach, how is the teaching pay?
