The demand for 3D and FX artists has exploded in recent years. This is largely due to the significant growth of digital media and web-based platforms along with the increased affordability of hardware and software.
In addition to this demand, careers in animation can be both exciting and rewarding. Animators get to contribute to a variety of creative projects designed to make an impact on their consumers.
