Hello, everybody! It’s very nice to satisfy you all.
My title is Mateus and I’m an indie sport developer. Over the last six years I designed, developed and printed 4 titles on each trendy platform presently obtainable out there (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Collection S/X and Nintendo Change).
Nonetheless, firstly of 2023 I had a small “breakthrough” and I began to wish to go away the indie scene and begin working for an AAA firm as an everyday worker. Selecting a subject wasn’t onerous, since I’ve all the time been fascinated with realtime VFX, so I went forward and began to perform a little research earlier than shopping for programs, digging for assets, and so forth.
The issue is that I checked out about 60 AAA studios web sites and about 90% of them had obtainable positions for VFX artists, however actually all of them required 2-5 years of expertise… So my query is: Is it attainable to enter the video games trade with out prior expertise? I imply, even when I research for months or years and really develop into a great VFX artist, how am I going to satisfy such a requirement?
I’m in all probability lacking one thing right here, so please assist me perceive what’s the present state of the video games trade to verify I’m getting in the proper course. Thanks lots!
