VCAD's 3D Modeling program is the perfect place to start for would-be animators
Vancouver, BC - April 5, 2010 - 3D animation jobs often don't feel like work. Sure, it's not always fun and games, but this ever-changing creative field offers lots exciting career opportunities.
Whether you're working in computer animation, game design, or forensics, one of the great things about being a 3D animator is that you are not only designing something, but also bringing it to life. By creating imaginative story lines, giving unique personalities to characters and exploring new ways to breathe life into static images, 3D animators get to entertain young minds, even if it's only for a couple of hours!
In order to be entertaining, you have to be creative, and people who work in 3D modeling and animation are some of the most creative people around. They have huge imaginations and superior visualization capabilities. To be surrounded by talented artists can be intimidating, but it is also inspiring at the same time. A healthy dose of competition can challenge your creativity and help to push you to improve upon your skills. As well, working with people who share your passion for 3D animation allows you to nourish your creative instincts and keep up with new trends in the 3D modeling industry.
Animators also benefit from working in casual environments. The advantage to working in a fun and dynamic culture, rather than one that is uptight and traditional, is that relaxed office environments tend to help 3D animators to be more productive and successful. Training at a 3D animation school like VCAD will help you on the road towards an exciting, creative career.
