We've moved on from working with video and are now starting with 3D modeling, which looks like it will go well so far. I've done 3D modeling before in previous years, but I used a much more basic software that was not as smooth as 3ds Max. So far the only problem I've run into with 3ds Max is losing my model to the abyss and not being able to find it, but that can be fixed by changing the view a few times. So far we've only made a snowman, but it sounds like we will be making much more before testing time comes around. We have only just been introduced to 3ds Max, but most of its features are simple enough to understand, even from someone who is new to it. My favorite part about 3ds Max is that you can edit numbers (instead of dragging) for precise changes. This makes centering objects and creating standard sizes much easier. After doing some additional research I found out that 3D modeling is not the best choice of career, but can pay well if you do get a job in the field. The reason for it not being the best choice of career is because it requires a high skill with 3D modeling and job slots are easy to fill with underpaid workers. Of course it is possible to have a good job as a 3D modeler, but other careers can be more reliable, especially for new people looking for their first job.
