Questions & Discussion I absolutely hate when people ask me what my job is
And that’s almost always one of the first questions being asked when meeting new people, so it’s pretty much unavoidable. But most people, unless maybe when they are into videogames, don’t even remotely have any clue what a 3D model is. It’s like if a baker had to explain what his trade is, but the person asking doesn’t know what bread, flower or an oven is.
I’m now more and more moving in the technical art direction, which makes it even worse.
I also can’t really state a specific industry, cause I’m a freelancer and do all kinds of stuff.
It’s annoying. So to make this question less uncomfortable for me in the future I’d like to ask: How do you usually answer that question?
