Andy Hickes Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 If you come from outside the field of architecture you will be adding a fresh approach-greatly needed!! I have worked in the field 35 years staring with airbrush and now doing computer. http://www.rendering.net forget the architectural degree. I have one but learned nothing about rendering in 5 years of school. The process can also result in indoctrination-a real danger. Ernest Burden a great renderer (whose father wrote a great book on rendering) never went to architecture school. When I had an office and was hiring I found people with a fine arts background to be the most open. (I was hiring for airbrush work. but computer should not make that much different if they want to learn.) one error I have found is when a person wants to do too many things at once. Commit to what ever you want to do. Trying to be many things, artist/architect/designer/illustrator, photographer, all at once can dilute a person in a world where much time and effort are needed to succeed. Of course that is always the problem-If we all knew exactly what we wanted, achievement would be so much easier. Also, if status is high on your list, good luck. I see this post is 4 years old. Wonder where this person is now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glorybound Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Well said, and you do great work. You have to have a passion, it is an art, and if you look at it as a way to make a great living, you'll be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to have a passion, it is an art, and if you look at it as a way to make a great living, you'll be disappointed. I am sorry I have to disagree. While you may not become a millionare, you can make a decent living while doing what you enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
