My aim here is to learn other industry standard and popular software, that I have not been taught in education that I believe will be useful to me. This will also provide me with more useful skills that will help me with the employment process and better my own skills and understanding of the specifics that make up the field of game art. A few examples of other processes and software I would like to learn are: 2D/3D animation, Blender and Digital sculpting. As I am not learning these software in college or university my best friend during this process is going to be YouTube and the internet.
Blender is useful because unlike most 3D software it is free. I'm thinking ahead because once I am no longer a student I will have to pay for the licensing for Autodesk, which is incredible expensive, by learning Blender I will be able to continue working on projects outside of education without having to pay out mass amounts of money, which I can then spend on something else that I might need, such as upgrading my computer so that I can increase the scoop of my project.
The skills of actually digital sculpting are very transferable to other sculpting software because the way the user interacts with the program is the same, with using a graphics tablet, its the hotkeys and new tools that need to be learnt. When I started learning Nomad sculpt I was in college which does not teach digital sculpting so I was pretty much learning this skill on my own, but since then I have start to actually be taught how to use the software Zbrush, and I have for the muscle memory and skill of actually sculpting easily transferable between the two. I found that digital sculpting came quite easy to me I think this is because I also enjoy the odd bought of traditional clay sculpture in my spare time, as a result I found it easy to transfer the skills over it was just learning all the different tools and buttons to use to do the more advanced sculpting tools the hard part.
