當我看到以下大家的搵工意見後......

[Maya初仔]

其實本人雖叫初仔，但已年將三十，現於手袋公司做設計已四年，人工亦有萬五元！本身讀GraphicDesign出身!其實四年前我已想入CG公司做Trainee，但冇回音！只好等有回音的就去做！於是入了這行！由於之前只當為興趣去自學3D，到現在對它愈來愈濃想轉工時！但一看到大家的討論後我覺得不知如何是好！人大了收入穩定好還是出去再博過找尋自己的夢想呢.....好多明友都叫我去找自己喜歡的去做！但景況又咁壞！！我都要再看清楚才去決定了！其實我自己都將私人時間八十%去自學及上堂！正如大家說那些老板自己本身不是讀Art出身的，他們只是向錢看！其實都冇辦法！正如我老板是美國人，是一個普通生意人，當我們去設計一些創作款的袋時他會去欣賞，他們只會欣賞名店出品的然後叫我們去改！這些我也是味道！奈何現實如此！我真的好想大家一起努力去實現自己的夢想！要放棄！由其是二十出頭的青年人呀！珍惜時間！Sorry! 好像老人家呀！無奈但仍會努力！

one word

don't giveup (sorry, 2 words)

if you keep practice and show good result, they will hire you (but I can't guarantee when ).

just keep practice and try and try and try.

I'm not blowing water, I did it myself the same age as you and now I'm doing quite well.

and I'm still practicing everyday.

I'm a Product Designer for clock, watches, premium, gifts..etc. How comes so many, because I try all the time. Keep trying. Boss now a days doesn't want to buy 3D software due to the high price. For pirated one, they will send you back to China to draw 3D as H.K. Government cannot do anything. I study evening course which took 80% of my time, I have no time to pratice, but I keep track on the 3D news, at least that is what I can do at this moment. I'm studying Engineering in CityU and plan to keep study Master of Multi-media in CityU as this is the only way I can choose to further study 3DCG in a professional manner. 3D career in H.K. is tougher than any place else on this planet!

3D career in H.K. is tougher than any place else on this planet!

hmm... if you are good, don't limit yourself in H.K, with today technology and internet. You can get your portfolio show to the world. Prepare yourself, practice more, learn as much as you can, then show the world what you can do (i.e setting up a website that showcase your work, post your website address to all the 3d newsgroup, send your demoreel to all 3d company over the world).

I myself doing freelance (don't tell my boss ) not only for Hong Kong client. I'm also getting many offer from other country. But I'm not saying I'm better than you. I'm just saying, what I can do, YOU CAN. and you might do better than me.

My homeworks alomost kill me! So no time for freelance.
Also, quotation is getting tougher, price is getting lower.
I did one project with a singing tumbler for $500 solely, including product design, engineering drawing, complete set of rendering for presentation, CNC consultation and some production follow-up, $500!
My working environment didn't allow me to develope my 3D career b'cas they (my senior and boss)think 3D is useless and expensive. There is nothing I can do in this company but just stick to CorelDraw and PhotoShop, yes, they are designing software but not what I want. My goal is a full time 3D product designer or interior designer. Ay least, I was! But not anymore!

:

500 ???? if I were you, I would not take that job.

[Siegfried]

I gained $500... and a small meal from that client, just a buffet in a small restaurant. He promised to get more job for me but now.....

你好，可以說國語嗎？我上海一地產公司做室內設計。
可以談談你們那裡的設計方向嗎？另外你知道國內水晶石3D設計公司嗎？--一很棒的年輕組合！

不知道呵! 有沒有網址或其他資料?

You mean the crystal with thousands of tiny bubbles inside that made a 3D object, e.g. a boat? I want to know the manufacturing method. I worked in Mainland 4 yrs ago, although I can't speak good Puotongua, but I still worked very fine with all engineers in Mainland as we share the same engineering language, and I'll aid my meaning with sketches and drawings. Most of the staff I encounter in Mainland were very professional, optimistic and friendly.
Design industry in H.K. can be divided into 4 categories(general speaking), one is entertainment media whilst the others are graphics, interior design and product design.
I guess you know the animation in entertainment media,graphics(including web and printing) and interior design. For product design, 3D can be further divided into manufacturing purpose and presentation purpose. For the manufacturing purpose, some of the small part can be forgotten such as a 0.5m fillet b'cas they will be machined in the mold manually, what's the most vital is the interial structure like wall thickness and web location etc. For presentation purpose, if no explosion view is needed, then I'll skip the interial strcture of the product and concentrate on the details of the product and overall scene atmosphere, a small detail like a 0.5mm fillet or a material selection will alter you perception whether this rendering looks real or not. I did some interior design and 3D rendering b4, of course not as good as yours but I love interior design more then product design!
