Refining my skills


#1

Hello all,

First time poster here and have been browsing the forums for a while now.

First of all this is my work : http://www.markward3d.co.uk/

I’m relatively fresh out of university I’m looking for the best way to take my skills to a professional level. It is obvious to see this forum has alot of stunning visuals and industry professionals that I aspire to be skilled as.

I use maya and mental ray, which tutorials are a bit hit and miss for and most of the positions I see advertised are for max and vray. I’m not really asking which is the best, but should I swop programs if thats where the positions are? or attempt to hone my skills in mental ray.

I specifically want to improve in lighting techniques, aka GI and FG as well as using mental ray materials effectively to create realistic interior/exteriors.

Any advice or step in the right direction would be really appreciated,

Thanks,
Mark.
