Wireframe renders are still awkward for me. I just want it to look the same as in my Maya Viewport, I'm proud of my efficiency but feel like I fail at showing it off. Thanks for the advice, also appreciate you showing your first/bad portfolio

I legit did a course and they provided a laptop for me but only have a couple modules and now I gave that back and don’t have the money to buy a laptop to improve upon my skills now so I’m kinda stuck at the moment because I can’t get a job in that area

Hi Abraham, I'm following 2 of your courses, you're helping me so much! I was wondering how you did the video about your 3D creature. Did you make a video for it? Thank you 🙂

Great video! keep uploading man, may I ask did you go to the Gnomon viusal effects school? I'm applying for their 2 year digital production as well。

Thank you for your help

You know. It's pretty hard to get a job in artstation

Nice video

Do you need to ask permission to use someone concept?

turn up the volume while recording, please.

Hello, I am a beginner from Myanmar, learning about 3D from Utube. I want to ask one thing that a lot of people said a degree was not a problem in 3D industry, only portfolio was important. But when I searched those people's backgrounds, they have had a degree or diploma from a nice school. It is really okay to not have a degree? I was a a civil engineering student but I stopped my university because of our country 's political situation. I am really concerned about my future. In our country, there is no schools related with 3D. So.. Can I get a higher position in 3D field even if I don't have a degree?

Das clases en ITESM ???? yo estoy por entrar a 6to semestre en LAD
