Career choice

there are many careers one can choose from within the 3d industry, some choose to specialise in Character animation while others may choose to take different paths. I have been studying at the university of derby for two years, this has given me enough time to think about my new career path and about its advantages and disadvantages compared to the rest of the careers that i could take.  prior to starting my studies i was a 3d visualiser. I left the profession as it was becoming very easy to be a 3d visualiser any one any where could pick a copy of a ''real-time renderer'' and produce stunning images without any effort or skills, its ironinc how the same technology that created jobs up ends destroying them too.

I have decided to become a character modeller and specialise in character art, reason being is that even though there are softwares that allows people to create models with a few clicks of a buttons like ''poser'', however the resulting models are hardly usable in any production pipeline be it for games or film animation, because you will always end up customising the models eventually and the edge flow of those models will never quite match your reference material. therefore in my opinion i don't think that the character  modelling field will suffer the same consequences as the 3D Visualisation industry
