Fx artist
This is a career that I started to be interested in during my MA years. I had already done some particle effects in Maya. It was very interesting for me. FX artists create visual effects in films, TV shows and games. They are responsible for creating smoke, fire, destruction, water and some smaller effects such as object collisions or liquid simulations in glass. The requirements for this career in most companies and film studios require a mastery of Houdini, Maya and programming, motion graphics, and art. Good aesthetic skills and the ability to use software to match. After researching this career, I found that if I wanted to apply for this career I had to learn as much as I could about particles and some of the programming required. This is very important.
