Career

Hey all! Great to be back for another interview on 80.lv! Great stuff has happened since the previous article was published, and I hope this will inspire some of you who are still undecided about their career as a 3D artist.

Since last time, I traveled 8000 km away from my home country (France) and settled in Vancouver, Canada. This has been the hardest, but the most rewarding choice of life. Thanks to the previous interviews, I could bump up my portfolio and find a job as a full-time 3D visualizer.

At work, I’d be mostly working on architectural visualization, but mostly using traditional renders such as Corona/V-Ray combined with good old 3ds Max. Although I love architectural visualization, I found that there was a difference in what I could do at work and at home.

I never could put as much detail in my artworks at work compared to home because of the deadlines. I always kept some very intriguing ideas aside that I would write down, so I could realize them at home and take time to polish them, and that’s what has been working so far lately. It requires some commitment to work after a whole day at work, but as we say in French “When we love, we don’t count”.
