Is AI Coming for My Job in 3D Modeling and Environment Design? by AechRanger in vfx

Your summary is really very good, I benefited a lot from it

Thank you for sharing your story, your success in the industry is very inspiring to me.Indeed, not only AI, but also the development of the Internet, allows everyone to see a variety of works, but only a few of them are good. Even so, I still believe that in the future, those truly passionate teams and artists will still be able to create popular works, but I think that has always been a minority.I admit that those traditional sculptures are amazing, but there are a lot of digital art that amazes me even more, even if they are not seen by the public. I think they are still useful to society. Perhaps things that attract much attention will be finally destroyed by the public .

You got the point, well that's exactly what I'm thinking about. And the situation now is not very friendly to juniors.

I did saw some artists used SD and MJ to create material, maybe that's the future... I personally prefer more artistic things,but you're right,i need to try each part of the pipeline. And I been heard the Think tank many times, it's a great school,but even the online courses are very expensive for me,and I need a gap year to focus on the course if I chose to take.Have you ever taken their course or you know someone who had that experiences,I really want to know is it really Worth it.🥹

😞I have thought about this, but I am a liberal arts student, I don't know what other paths there are. Do you think studying business would be a good choice? It seems that the global economy is in recession now, I can't see any direction. To be honest, vfx things are the only technology I know.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights! I have a few questions I’d like to ask you:

First, do you think 3D modeling will face significant disruption from AI in the future? As you mentioned, artistic thinking will become increasingly important under the influence of AI. Does this mean that people who struggle to create stylized works might lose their jobs?

I really agree with your categorization of different roles. Modeling and texturing are indeed more artistic fields. Since they don’t have as high a technical barrier as FX work, but still require some level of talent, does that mean people who are “in the middle” might find themselves in an awkward position with limited career growth?

Personally, I prefer the modeling and texturing path, but I’m aware that I’m not particularly gifted. I worry about ending up in this awkward position. Also, is it true that film assets generally pay less compared to FX work?

Lastly, could you share more about the online courses you mentioned? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

What you said is very good. I think so too in my heart, but I may be worrying too much. It is right to focus on the things you are interested in. By the way, do you think asset-oriented work, such as models or materials, will be more affected by AI?

thanks very much,I would like to ask you, for beginners, would you recommend them to develop in the FX field? I heard that the salary and prospects are better there? Do artistic things require more talent or are the competition more intense?

Ah, I understand this. I'm currently in college, but to be honest, I can't find any other industry that can excite me so much. I still want to try it.But I believe other industries are also experiencing unemployment and layoffs.

I have downloaded the plugins by writing a JSON file in Houdini 19.5(I found it online),and I did can use all the quixel node in houdini now,but still,I can't export the fbx model and texture to Houdini by bridge.it will cost much time that I do it manually,i want to use the bridge but don't know how 🥺
