loved_my_job Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I loved my job. I worked with the best people and really looked up to my bosses. All of them! I was working in a well known Viz firm in Boston. I know it’s just a sign of the times and they did every thing they could to keep us in the family. If there is any one in the Boston area looking for a digital artist with 4 years of visualization and architecture experience, 11 years of 3D studio max and AutoCAD experience, and a BS in Architectural Studies with a Minor in Art from the University of Missouri Columbia, Missouri. I sad to say I’m looking for a new family, but looking forward to a new chapter in my life. Please contact me if you have any opening. Thank you. lpaxton@squaremile3d.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hey Luke. I know what that's like - I also lost my job, only I didn't love it. Which firm were you working for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loved_my_job Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Neoscape. It truly was a great place to work. Where did you work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihabkal Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Neoscape. It truly was a great place to work. Where did you work? I love that company. I was offered a job there in 2004, I didn't take it, after a year or two I regretted that and begged them to take me, but it was too late. Neoscape does awesome work.

AJLynn Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Ooh, that's rough. Very. I was at KMW. I interviewed at Neoscape but they weren't hiring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwana Kahawa Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I was offered a job with them too, just last year. Figured with all the recession talk I'd be safer where I am though, so turned them down. Seems like it's not the time to start resigning from places! All the best finding somewhere else, Luke - with Neoscape-quality work in your portfolio you should hopefully fare pretty well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieLeon Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Guys, Things are getting pretty bad in our industry. But, as far as I know everything is fine at Neoscape. Let's not get any rumors started. Some companies might be making adjustments and it doesn't mean they are having any financial problems at all.

loved_my_job Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 No Neoscape did not go broke they are still up and running. Like Eddie said "adjustments" had to be made. i did not start this to put down Neoscape. i loved working there. i just wanted to see if others like Spine3D or DBox are having to make "adjustments" and what is going on with others out there.

EddieLeon Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Ok. That's good. I wish you luck finding work/employment! There have been no adjustments at Spine3D. We are working very hard like everyone else to keep things moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. lpaxton@squaremile3d.com Really sorry to hear about your job loss. Do you have any samples of work you can show us?. Obviously I know you probably can't post Neoscape's. Any personal images so we can see the level of your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing this will happen with the bigger companies who grew very fast when times were good, it's a real shame. I wonder if we will ever become like VFX where companies ramp up and down based on production, I hope not!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nils Norgren Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hey All, Nils from Neoscape checking in to let you all know that we are alive and well despite rumors to the contrary. We did recently make some adjustments to our staff to fine tune our operation based on changes in the global real estate market. Eddie thanks for the kind words, and although the next year will be a challenge Neoscape is strong and we plan on being around for many years to come (until Spine buys us out! j/k), Take care everyone -Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hey Nils, Good to hear that. Best of luck and I hope business picks up. (Though I've signed up for the LSAT just in case...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear that everything is fine. I agree that this is year is turning out to be quite a challenge. It's exciting nonetheless. Actually, I was hoping you could buy me out! Hehe...J/K. I'll try not to start a new rumor Take care. I wish the best of luck to you and everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Gaushell Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I think it is fair to say that most if not all of the bigger 3d firms are making adjustments to actually save jobs. Sometimes it means hard choices are required. There is nothing more awful than ever having to let someone go or to ask them to make some level of sacrifice. My guess is that there will be many firms that go away altogether, but I would put my money on the larger ones (8 or more people) and the smaller ones (1-2) surviving. It is that middle size that would concern me. Right now the game is survival through the second quarter at least. There is work out there of course and plenty of it even now, but it is going to be very dependent on how well a firm is already networked. My prayers are with everyone through this.
