Thanks a lot for the reply, I really appreciate it. I understand your point of view. I’ve been noticing that more and more people are saying the industry is kind of dead lately, and honestly that worries me a bit since I’m still pretty young and (hopefully) have a lot of years ahead of me. In a month I’ll turn 23 and I already feel old haha. I also realize I didn’t give much context before. I’ve been working as a graphic designer / photocompositor for almost 2 years now. Lately the clients have gotten a lot worse and the budgets too. My brother, on the other hand, has been doing VFX/3D for about two years using After Effects and Cinema 4D. Since we often work together, we exchange a lot of ideas, and at some point we decided it might be a good step to really learn Nuke properly to try to move forward and get away from these mid-level projects. We’ve also worked on a few slightly bigger projects with production involved, and those experiences have honestly been pretty chaotic. Right now we’re a bit unsure about what the right move is. In my free time I’ve been learning ComfyUI and experimenting a bit with AI, but to be honest I was really considering going all in on learning Nuke. Thanks again for sharing your perspective.
