@Amgine @darkwolf one thing worth mentioning is the industry is in absolute tatters right now. If you go to a school and they say they can 100% get you a job in the industry, they are lying and you should go somewhere else. I did the 3d program at CapU while my wife did the 2d program. Right now I'm employed probably because I went down the software development track way back in 2013, whole she's been looking for work for the past year. And she's not alone at all with looking for work.

@darkwolf I went to school at Capilano University. Their 2d and 3d animation (the one I took) programs are great, and I recommend them. https://www.gradshow.com/

@ruby0x1 I think it is the pipeline TD in me wanting to build tooling that could support some hypothetical studio. Aside from time, I haven't really jumped in because my expertise is mostly in animation/VFX pipelines, so I'm more comfortable building out some libraries that I hope to open source later.

@ruby0x1 every time I think about making a game, I realize the thing that interests me more is building a game engine and/or a pipeline around the engine.

@gregsbrain @kat or worse, the solution is subtly bad. It doesn't error, passes tests, and seems to work, but you have a time bomb of corrupted data or other major security concerns.

Also, I agree that human connection is extremely important. That and having to put in the hard hours to figure out the problem and solution so the next time is much easier because you have those tools. Then you share those tools and knowledge with others. I'm afraid that we're pulling up the ladder behind us.
