Posting this on the chance that the talks get too full and they can’t squeeze in a ‘Getting into’ section:
Andreas and some others did a live stream on getting into vfx
and I did a write up of my experience starting as a junior fx artist with no game dev experience up to now. I tried to add as much info as I could on what a beginning artist can expect to encounter. I’d welcome and appreciate anyone else adding their experience starting out as an FX artist too! I’d like to make it a resource that students can find and scroll through.
There was another thread somewhere on here that was basically people asking where to get started, tutorial-wise, but I think it’s buried now. I’ll try to search for it and add it to this when I have time.
