Great post and very insightful. I’m a 3D generalist in VFX and out of work now since Jan. Seriously considering pivoting into this type of work as entertainment market feels saturated/competition is so high, frankly I’m a bit fed-up..

My only query is, is it better, when looking for these types of clients to focus on one type of product eg furniture, or a mix of products but all in a clean photoreal render style ..?

I would say to focus in one area. I would probably stick to one of these.

- Fashion

- Footwear

- Electroics (Phones, Laptops, Kitchen Appliances)

- Soft goods (Blankets, Bedding, Furtniture)

- Automotive

- Package Design

Very helpful and timely! Thanks for sharing the breakdown. I’m a new 3D hobbyist but this is useful information for my marketing career pivot, post parenting pause.
