A contemporary look into 3D art

I am a production artist more than anything. I love the technical side of the development, but at the end of the day, the question I typically only care about is “What does my client need for their budget?” If I can not fulfill my client's needs, then I will have a hard time paying for my bills. I approach my teaching on this fact, as I want my students to understand what the professional environment requires of them when they go into the professional world.
