FOR INTERMEDIATE USERS 
INDUSTRY RELATED QUESTIONS
I
have a demo reel, but can't get a break in the field. What should I do?
Although potential employers consider your experience
and resume, your chances of being hired largely depend on the quality of your
demo reel. If you have submitted a general reel to studios with little success,
you may need to refine your reel to better reflect your skills and the potential
employer's requirements. If your reel looks professional, then perhaps, the
companies you are applying to are looking for someone with more experience.
If you have been able to get to the interview stage then some of the areas you
may need to work on are your presentation skills, work ethics and ability to
be a good team player.
I think I know the software very well,
but do not know how to improve my quality of work?
Sometimes if you learn the software the incorrect
way and pick up bad work habits, it can get difficult for you to create quality
work. In order to create high quality work you need to have the right mindset,
strategy and work habits. You can learn from making mistakes but that can take
a long time, and in generally it is very helpful to have a coach suggest improvements
that may otherwise be difficult to realize.
I have already taken a course in 3D animation, will I be wasting my time learning
what I already know?
Typical courses focus on teaching you the software
tools, which are essentially the easiest to learn. There are many books and
tutorials that can help you learn the software, but the 3DTi course extends
beyond the software to encourage efficient work habits and help you create a
professional demo reel. Since the course is entirely project-based, students
familiar with the software will have the advantage of more time working directly
on their projects under the guidance of our professional instructors. Experienced
animators who have attended our courses often comment that the tips, trick and
shortcuts they learned in class were extremely valuable. To see reviews from

What
skills will I acquire by the end of the course?
Upon completion of this course, you will have
a solid foundation in 3D animation techniques and you will have the skills to
create a professional quality demo reel based on your area of specialization
within 3D animation and industry preference. Additionally, you will experience
the discipline necessary to become a professional animator and understand the
workings of a production studio. You will have first-hand experience in the
entire production process from storyboard to the completion of a project.
Over the 12-week period, our professional
instructors will help you to identify your strengths and help you select the
area of industry specialization best suited to your skills and interests. At
the end of the course, we will help you define a plan to find rewarding work
based on your individual preferences.
Which of 3DTraining programs is right
for me?
The 12-Week 3D Project Based Course is taught
in a simulated production environment where students learn to master the techniques
of working on three of the most commonly requested projects in the industry
today, Motion graphics (Broadcast Television/Web), Product Modeling (Movies,
Gaming, Web, Mechanical, etc) and Character Animation (Movies, Gaming, Web,
etc). This course has been specially crafted for those who have existing 3D
animation skills and are seeking to improve their current demo reel. In order
to join this course, students will have to submit three still rendered images
of their most recent work done in 3DS Max or Maya.
