Question
Hi sir
I want join in VFX. Is it compulsory full knowledge in MAYA like Modeling, Rigging, Texturing, lighting and dynamic. Or basic knowledge is ok
some employers want a generalist, others want a person who knows a very specific area, such as lighting. i would start off by learning the basics, then find an area that excites you the most and focus on that. nowadays, a lot of 3D work for film and bigger projects involves dividing up the labor into categories such as the ones you mentioned. you may find it is easier to find work if you become an expert in one particular category. still, i would start off by teaching yourself the basics and gaining a general knowledge.
