Animation

Hi reader, In order to become a rendering artist, you have to start your career by earning a 2-year degree at a community college or technical school, such as an associate's degree program in CAD, CAID or drafting. Courses in these programmes usually focus on technical tools and computer software to create, plan and present product and other types of designs, such as 2D drawings and 3D models. Creativity is also an important component of 3D rendering. Successful designers have artistic talent as well as the ability to come up with unique solutions to design problems. In addition to strong technical skills and creativity, good interpersonal skills and customer service experience are important for working in teams and communicating with clients. After obtaining years of experience, 3D engineers are prepared for supervisory roles in the field. Technical specialist and management positions give 3D engineers more control in the planning and execution of projects.
In India you can earn Rs. 2,98,354 per annum as an average salary. but since its a creative salary you never know where it can lead you. salary rises based on your eligibility and experience.

In India market, joining salaries of freshers are around Rs 4.5 lakh per annum for programmers and designers and Rs 3.5 lakh for Graphic Artists and Game Developers. Indian gaming industry is undergoing a makeover and lots of scopes are coming up.

Game designers obviously focus on designing games. This is quite different in terms of the work vs. animators who usually work on movies or commercials. Whether it be game design or animation, there are many specific skills to learn and to concentrate in. You have the modeling of the characters (which is akin to digital sculpture), character animation, which requires good fine art skills and drawing of faces, environmental design, which is essentially designing the background for the characters, texturing (for skin and fur), lighting, rigging (to get the character to move correctly) and more.
I guess the bottom line is that:
1. You need to decide whether you want the programming side or the design side.
2. If design, majoring in either game design or animation would probably be just as good for developing the above-mentioned design skills. However, if you want character animation or environmental design, it is crucial that you develop your drawing and illustration skills particularly of characters. Other aspects of animation don't need this as much.
3Ds Max
3Ds Max offers better interoperability with other Autodesk products.
Many prefer 3Ds Max for materials and rendering due to the ease of materials setup.
Getting the most out of 3Ds Max can require some scripting using MaxScript.
