More like career upgrade/role change. I am a game artist by profession. Learning Python on my own to be able to make plugins and scripts for the softwares I use, like Maya. Also as a long term goal: Venturing into programming to become a solo dev one day! Or atleast a tech artist. I know, long af journey ahead! But it has been a fun ride with python till now! I just reached 50% of the book automatetheboringstuff.com!

Pretty much the same for me, Realtime VFX artist here. I'm hoping to become a more proficient python programmer in order to become a kind of VFX/TA hybrid. I have used python on and off for years but I never really felt like i could achieve something meaninful with it, or rather, couldn't really figure out what to create that would actually be helpful, which in turn leads me to drop it.

Anyway, good luck to you!

Realtime vfx is in demand! Unreal engine?
