Wouldn't it be nice if you could just,

1. follow a course step by step,
2. add that image to your portfolio,
3. send it to a studio or architect and start getting work?

Unfortunately, I would be lying if I said it was that easy.

There is more to CGI than creating the odd good looking image. Clients hire consistency over good images. They need to know you are reliable and will deliver every time.

In my experience, there are 3 steps to being able to deliver top-quality images consistently to clients.

Follow these 3 steps and life will be easy. Try to jump to the next one before you are ready and you can fail fast, believe me, I tried.

1. Understanding the basics of how to use the tools. The most overlooked and where people try to get to the next step, or worse step 3, without really getting their foundations right. You need to have confidence in your tools.
2. Developing skills in certain areas, such as 3d modelling or creating materials. Your basic knowledge will take you so far. If you want to get to the next level you need to have a deeper understanding of the key areas.
3. Creating some remarkable images for your portfolio. Don't get me wrong you could just jump to step 3 and render some great images for your portfolio. But without the foundations and the skills from steps 1 and 2, you aren't set up for long term success. You are going to turn up to a studio or start on a client project with a tight deadline and learn the hard way you should have nailed steps one and two.

Start with 1, then 2 and then 3 if you want to be able to use the skills you learn in these course to create a solid foundation for your career, long term.
