thurifer Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I have a job in retail, which although I don't really like it I am at the moment grateful to have. When the economy finally emerges from the 7th level of hell I would like to look for a job doing Arch Viz for a firm. What I need to know is what kind of educational background would I need to go along with a strong portfolio to make that happen. A B.A. in Architecture? Digital design? Interior Design? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank1331 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 If you are looking to do strickly vizualization work, then there really isn't any formal education that is required. It would be extremeing helpful to have the ability to read drawings from an architect. If you are looking to do more, then some interior design or architectural design would be helpful.

rmccoy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Having an architecture background helps for sure. You have a better understanding of size and scale of buildings and the various parts and pieces. Studying furniture design and interior design also helps. With that said, you really don't need a specific background to get started in the field. However, I know a lot of architecture companies prefer to have people with an architectural background for their in house 3d people. Overall, if you have talent then you should be set. This field is so varied in general. Knowing architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, furniture design, product design, photography, lighting design, computer programming, cinematography, etc... all help.

SandmanNinja Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Well, connections in the area that you want to be in. Being in Lebanon would make you think Middle East. Since the O.P. is in the States, I'd think any big city near him - Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
