Hi echos123, I think you will find that you are already getting the best training possible. The fact that you're working in an environment with skilled people is better than any theory that you will receive from a modeling school. The school will provide basic modeling techniques and how to read technical drawings, the rest is up to the individual. I would watch your colleagues on how they approach certain modeling situations and try the methods that best suit your own technique. A lot of modelers are self taught as they have jumped from patternmaking or wood modelmaking trades. If you have the skills it is a case of perfecting them to suit your own method of modeling. The most important aspect is the end result. Steve A

hi steve,
first of all thanks for your advise , but still i have some quary. As you told , i am getting good job possible and working with some 10 to 15 years experienced people in automotive industies.. but if i want to change job in Europe or US and there is no job only on experience and without any relative qualification nowdays . i want to study mainly for certificate or degree
we can see the panic situation in jeff's claychat in recent posts.
i think You are working in GM and in GM even for asst. modeler for such armature setup work they required some fine arts deploma candidates with also some experience..... just two monthes before vacancies for GM. what do you say about thisone..

Hi echos123, What you are saying is absolutely correct, a lot of studios require degrees for one to be considered. It provides the basis to learn that companies philosophies. The candidate has proved that he or she has the ability to learn and absorb information and procedures. With sculptors a lot of the candidates are employed from art schools as they have some knowledge on 3D modeling as they would have produced several models during their degree course. They also know how to read drawings and they have an eye for design. All that I can suggest is that you apply to whatever company that you are interested in and state your case. The fact that you have been employed with an automotive company for 3 years already gives you an edge as you've already proved that you can do the job. People that leave with a degree still have little or no on the job experience so this will always be a chance that a company takes. Steve A
