Animation

Autodesk 3Ds Max, formerly 3D Studio and 3D Studio Max, is a professional 3D computer graphics program for making 3D animations, models, games and images. It is developed and produced by Autodesk Media and Entertainment. [1] It has modelling capabilities and a flexible plugin architecture and can be used on the Microsoft Windows platform. It is frequently used by video game developers, many TV commercial studios and architectural visualization studios. So, 3Ds Max is a great rendering program. Modeling in 3Ds Max is something you need to get used to (I come from inventor so it's completely different). You can do Cars/ Interior ect in 3Ds Max. You can even do animation. It is also used for movie effects and movie pre-visualization. For its modelling and animation tools, the latest version of 3Ds Max also features shaders.

There are thousands of people struggling in Animation industry. Many of them are working as assistant directors for 5 to 6 years but still didn't get any break.First thing, it's not very difficult to become a Animation director in India. You have to have good knowledge of the art and the craft of film making. So do that. Make as many films as you can, good bad, worse, great. Doesn't matter. Just Learn.
Second, This industry is all about contacts. If you know how to use your contacts to get where you want to go. You will be successful. So go meet people, make as many calls as you have to, look for jobs, paid or not doesn't matter. Just get working and build your network. That's the whole idea actually. Nothing else. And eventually you will get bigger and better.
There is not a certain path - that you will do step A then step B then step C and Boom! Success.
So get working. And hope for the best, and never give up.

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.
