Beginner, interm, advanced ?

[Chris]

What you claim you skill level is is generally decided by the formula:

(True level of skill) * (amount of money being offered / (current bank balance + net worth of current jobs)

:D

Beginner (in my mind) is someone who still needs to ask a lot of questions (even though at times we all need to do this...).

Intermediate is someone who knows the answers to the beginners questions, but still have some of their own.

Advanced is a combination of two things - it's someone who can answer both of the aboves questions and someone who creates solutions to questions not even asked. It's also someone who works quickly and efficiently.

Again, that's IMHO ;)


But in trying to figure out what level you're at... it's a case of knowing what you can and can't do.

If you feel comfortable modelling anything in Max (and that means real world things as well as pet projects) to a competent level (i.e: don't scratch your head for more than 10 minutes) - then you're at a good level for employment.

Thanks for the answers guys.

My rough view on this...

*Begginer: Someone who's been using the software for a relatively short period of time. Still getting its feet wet. Needs manuals and asks oftem (which, of course, is not by any means a bad thing). Someone with maybe 4+ months of working experience.

* Intermmediate: Someone who can find its way out of most situations decently. Has a good working pace, and understand what's hes doing. He's still learning, but doesn't ask as often. Can be someone who's starting to specialize in a certain area. Probably should have 2+ years of working experience.

* Advanced: Someone who REALLY know what he's doing and WHY he does it. Knows what's going on under the hood. Extremely reliable and proficient in at least one area. Should have 5+ years of working experience.

Of course, this is just my view on the subject....

toonman I´m very agree with you idea of a begginer advanced or intermediate max user.

But the only thing that is important when you are loooking for job is your personal portfolio and the thinks that you have done in others companies.


But you can be a intermediate user with no 3djob experience and in this case the portfolio is the most important thing .( in this case I´m sure that you have spent a lot of hard time working in your home)

For me for be and advanced user is needed a job experience and in this case the ,the users now a lot of all categories but really understand one or two areas.
The advanced user now what the want to do in the industrie ,be an animator in cgmovies ,a game modeller ,.......
