If you quit doing what you like to do just because others want to do it, you will only be left with things that you don't want to do, because you will always find somebody else that likes what you do. Be happy about that, COMMUNITY ROCKS!

I am not sure if I got this right.

Are you saying that because people in third world countries can do architectural visualization then its less of a profession now?

Those countries have architects and developers in need of architectural visualization and there are a lot of very talented artists contributing all the time to the cgarchitect community from those places. Zuliban, one of the most talented artist in this field, is from Mexico for example.

that's a damn good point.

So according to you, this should be limited to 1st world countries? That was rather an offensive and ignorant comment. Might help if you could focus on achieving a "1st world country quality to your works" and mostly a "1st world attitude" oh and you might want to suggest the appropiate party at CGA to make it offlimits to none 1st world countries ips.

You can't be serious That statement about 3rd world countries just makes you less of a person. Drop out, good by. Go be a inner city or special ed teacher or a nurse. Those are professions that desperately need people. Let's see your work, perhaps that's the problem, not the world.

This thread is just one big wine fest. Get up, brush off your shoulders and get out and compete. It's a free market where everyone's invited, especially people in 3rd world countries. If you don't like it, too bad, the world doesn't revolve around you.

I just noticed this thread contradicts your avatar becuase waffles represent everything happy and good in the world.

Let's all play nice. I'm sure he wasn't intending to offend anybody. My take on the post is that the turn-around and budget attached to the show and its production is what bothered him, not that somebody in a different country was doing it.

This is, after all, a kinder, gentler threaded message board.

We're all artists here. You're safe with us. Boo ha ha ha ha ah!

Do keep in mind that you are basing this all on a TV show, right?
TV is all about smoke and mirrors. I don't think you have anything to worry about at all. For instance, the home makeover show where they build a house in a week actually takes more like 3 months to pull off. Instead, how about looking at it this way - next time someone asks you what you do, instead of trying to explain it to them and getting that deer-in-headlights look, you can just say 'Have you seen those cool 3d animations on TV? I do that.'
Besides, for that recent CAD salary survey, visualization wasn't even a choice for a job description so I think you are safe for a while yet.
Rest easy knowing that in a couple years, Vray will be bought out by a mega-corporation and promptly sacked by a whole team of developers.

Funny about that analogy to music - as far as I know, they haven't changed the keys around on a piano every few years making me have to learn it all over again....
