A video game magazine at the time recommended that would-be artists run out and get a computer science degree. At the time, programmers often doubled as artists.<BR/><BR/>So, I ran out and got a bachelor's degree in computer science. When I graduated in the late 90's, however, the landscape of the video game industry had changed. Artists and programmers had separated into two distinct groups. An artist with a computer science degree fit into neither camp.<BR/><BR/>-+-<BR/><BR/>That said, I did not waste four years of my life on that degree. The programming skills give me more options to solve problems than other 3D artists have at small VFX studios, since I can code my way around issues.<BR/><BR/>So, a college degree did improve my chances in the VFX industry.<BR/><BR/>$0.02<BR/><BR/>Jen :^)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-67720062673063699542008-04-21T11:26:00.000-07:002008-04-21T11:26:00.000-07:00"One of the better things you can do for yourself ..."One of the better things you can do for yourself on that micro level is getting a good education."<BR/><BR/>Getting a good education on a 'micro level'?!<BR/><BR/>Do I really even need to point out what's wrong with that statement?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
