Hello everybody! I’m presently learning VFX by means of CG Spectrum and have been studying the fundamentals of modeling and animation for a few months now earlier than learning Houdini/compositing in my subsequent time period. I got here into the course not realizing something and I’m having fun with it to this point but I really feel like I’m lacking inspiration and motivation to actually get pleasure from it. For a bit of background I made a decision to pursue VFX primarily as a result of I didn’t need to be a contract conventional artist, it’s within the film/gaming business, and it’s a always rising and wanted profession not essentially as a result of I used to be tremendous impressed to pursue it (and it’s nonetheless a creative subject).
So talking on that, what was a few of your first aha moments as VFX artists the place you determined you had been going to pursue VFX? Was it a film scene? Gaming scene? What offers you inspiration? I’d love to listen to your experiences on what made you need to study VFX and what retains you motivated now.
Thanks a lot,

So I’ve began as a programmer in gamedev and video games I used to be making had been wanting fairly dangerous.
I had no drawing or modelling abilities again then so I’ve discovered about particle programs and began experimenting with it and it was numerous enjoyable!
I’ve acquired my first job as a VFX Artist, however again then I used to be probably not contemplating it as my profession (I by no means actually believed I might be an artist). Tho round 2 years later I’ve began to look by means of completely different VFX individuals make and discovered about stylized ones! Then I simply fell in love with them 
My motivation now could be to only have enjoyable and once I get blocked within the course of I simply take a look at different individuals results and attempt to discover one thing that might encourage me.
