有感.......

[Dick Ma]

去搵工....打開報紙上網都要求應征者做Design工的要識:

首選: 3dsMax
次選: Maya/Autocad

我用Lightwave的....真系無咩幾可(未見過)有份job要人識LW.

上網睇到人地的courses都剩得學Max同Maya....

我以前無論做咩野作品都唔用主市場主流的Software (尤其唔用A字頭的)
因為我覺得唔應該因為市場用主流的Software而學既.
同埋其他Software真在易用得多....起碼唔會因為唔識一兩個functions而斷左思路...
但系唔知系咪市場差左....系唔系要學主流的Software先可以生存?

我覺得最重要的是作品呀..

但香港的老板唔會因為你而添置特別的Software.....請個人識用主流野的咪重平...

[醬爆]

既然想在這行工作 , 就得要努力, 公司有乜軟件便用什麼軟件 ,有難度嗎? , 居然去怪"老板唔會因為你而添置特別的Software" ....

那麼計較什麼"主流"非主流 ? 扮什麼堅持 ?

學左 LW 就唔可以再學 Maya ? 學多樣對你有壞嗎 ?

任何公司都會有用到不同 Software的時候 , 根本無須要去計較這問題 !

yeah, i think u dont need to worry about it

after i learnt lw, i think this is a very good 3dpack for learning fundermentals of 3d

so far, i am still very new to 3d, but i can understand many basic concept now

of course, someday, if we can do our job with using lw
it's excellent!

but in case not, we still can catch up in very quick
at least we dont need to learn from the basic concept
instead of, we just learn which function can i do as same as lw can do...........it's cool if we discover other 3d pack can do it wonderfully

for myself, i dont know when i will achieve a level i think it's enough in lw... so i will not try another one at the moment

but there must be something more important than using software particularly

我目前都系求學階段, 但系都遇上類似問題. 自己習慣0左用Lw, 但系學校0的老師會要求我用3D Max 交功課. 上年我有個朋友, 同我情況一樣, 但系佢就花0左好長時間去轉用3D Max, 結果3D Max 都用得上手, 但就差不多完全唔記得LW喇. 而家我開始學用LW 0既Fur 功能, 他就話3D Max 原來唔包括hair plug-ins, 但系見我按幾個制咁就整0左0的hair 出0黎佢就好妒忌... 唉... 我會比較選擇去研究點去加強個performance 同 真實感, 好過再花時間去從學另一個3D 程式. 始終另一個3D 程式0既功能會同另一個好唔同.

咁當然, 搵工好多時都會話要你識用3D Max/Maya, 但系我又覺得一方面你唔可以因為只用呢兩個程式, 而失去0左3D graphic 另一項重要原素: ideas / Creativity. 另一方面又唔好咁死板, 只系用死一個程式, 始終各唔同程式會有唔同強項同弱點.

"但香港的老板唔會因為你而添置特別的Software.....請個人識用主流野的咪重平..."

其實我想講香港的老板唔會浪費時間去培養一個對主流軟件唔熟識的人......因為市場上太多人可以比他選擇.....而且培養一個人對公司的成本會增加....

我會覺得香港當設計因為是比較著重short-term的投資....而忽略左其他方面.

i have another view

seems to be, guys-know-maya/max is oversaturated
even there is a maya/max job available, it's really hard to get it

but if there are chances, maybe little, looking for lw user
we have more chances to hit it, because, so far, i cant see the lw community is going to an oversaturated state, at least from this popular forum in hk, (maybe, crouching tiger hidden dragon)

hints: i see a company want to hire a lw user from universtiy job forum before, i am still a student, if not, i must try it. but i have recorded its information for future use.

chances never come to everyone automatically
is grabbed from yourself! dont complain anymore, just believe yourself

i think u are potential! Man!

DCDC 用 lightwave. 你可以試一試.
如果你識 lightwave, 應該好快學識其他 3D softwave.

[tdk]

CentrX use Lightwave too.

[antony lau]

我又系用LightWave ka~
我都認為“如果你識 lightwave, 應該好快學識其他 3D softwave.”。不過用開一個Software又系唔多想change ga, but 如果工作上或市場上系又這個必要try一下其他Software都好的，識多ｄ野加強自己的兢爭力ma。

[pirotase]

SaLxn also use Lightwave

[tdk]

actually, I remember I've said in some earlier post. I know many small to medium company use Lightwave, even Big Guy (like CentrX) use it as well.

The problem is, the Hong Kong Dealer is SHIT compare to Jadason, Laser....etc. There are NO promotion, User group meeting....etc.

BUt Lightwave is a very capable software, Top quality polygon modeler and Renderer (even Digital Domain use it, check this

http://www.luxology.net/articles/092302 ... page1.aspx

although the character animation tools is lacking compare with other, but it does the job, we use it for Character animation regularly.

It's a Dark Horse. When you compare with Price Performance.

If you know the concept of 3d graphics and power of composition, then every 3D software is the same.

And I've never been interested with those of user group meeting, launch party of any kind of promotional event of specific software. When I saw people "wah!", "wow!" when watching demo, I really feel wired.

Dont be slave of any specific software I'd say, treat them equal then you can learn them really fast.

Maya.... 起初我都覺得好難學 ，所以學左Lightwave先。
不過後來發覺Lightwave 有好多限制，最後都系去玩Maya，但我以Lightwave 的基本知識來學，覺得冇咩難度，好快上手。(我系因應功能而轉，當時Lightwave都系主流!)
我覺得兩個software都各有長處，冇話邊個特別勁，而家間唔中都有玩下Lightwave，之不過要對住manual搵番D制之麻。

其實呢D野都系一理通，百理明o既姐。

我只能用"簡單愛"來形容我有幾愛lw, 簡單的界面, 簡單的工序, 簡單的工具

雖然我唔知自己幾時先做到合格的cg(學o左咁耐,仲系好多o野唔識~~~-__-!)
