Interview
with Art Director Bryant Nichols

Background images
Question.01
Is there a specific reason why
you chose this specific topic/themes?


The future of 3D design lies in the creation and use of digital avatars and digital garments. As more and more of our lives are spent in the digital realm the need for detailed digital portrayals of human beings grows everyday.

Question.02
What makes your class different
from other classes?


This class focuses not only on the creation of garments, but also the necessary skills to bring them to life through 3D characters, lighting, textures, and environments. My class also touches on creating garments with a focused Art Direction as if you were the Art Director of a new Fashion Brand. It is impossible to find tutorials that detail each step of this complicated process so I wanted to compile all that I've learned into one comprehensive course.

Question.03
Please share your thoughts on the job market of the industry


In my experience there is a definite shortage of artists/designers in the industry. Most studios are always looking to add on people as either staff or freelance for a specific project need.

Question.04
What do you think is the most important trait(s) to success in your industry?


Discipline. Consistent, focused amounts of time spent developing ones skills outside of the workplace environment. If you never do work outside of your day job you risk losing your unique personal taste.
