With James Cameron’s film Avatar breaking box-office records the world over, the 3D animation industry has received a big boost. While 3D animation has been around for two decades, the success of films like Finding Nemo and the Shrek series are proof that the best is only yet to come.
According to NASSCOM, India’s gaming industry (specifically, computer games and mobile games) is expected to generate $424 million by the end of 2010. Not surprisingly, many graphic artists and digital technology buffs alike are turning to 3D animation as a career option.
However, does 3D animation offer avenues for just about anyone? How can one carve a rewarding and exciting career in this field?
To answer these questions, it is important to get a good idea of what 3D animation is all about. Simply put, 3D animation involves creating three-dimensional images for the purpose of entertainment, information or interactive experiences.
While it may sound glamorous, learning and perfecting animation techniques takes hours of hard work, dedication and perseverance. To start off, you must have good artistic skills, excellent visual communication skills and competent general knowledge.
Although 3D rendering tools are extremely advanced today, animation is much more than a mechanical skill. It is an art that relies heavily on the imagination. But then again, artistic skills are not sufficient. To be a competitive 3D animator, you must have a good eye for detail, structure and movement. Some 3D artists are specialists in creating environments and textures, while others are lighting experts.
Within the field of 3D animation, there are a variety of specialized roles and functions. On a 3D film project, for instance, you may work as a modeler, layout artist, clean-up artist, scanner operator, digital ink and paint artist, compositor, key-frame animator or a background artist. However, besides its most obvious applications in the business of movies and television, animation offers employment opportunities in advertising, education, electronic publishing and web design, gaming, architecture and interior design, as well as defense (virtual reality).
In India, a number of animation schools offer diplomas and bachelor’s degrees in animation to candidates who have secured a minimum of 45% marks in Class XII. Some noteworthy institutes are Animaster, Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics, Arena Multimedia and Zee Institute of Creative Arts.
Premier institutes like Industrial Design Center (IDC), the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) and National Institute of Design (NID) offer postgraduate programs in animation, but these have strict eligibility criteria and admit only graduates of architecture, technology and engineering and fine arts.
With the economy just out of recession, the animation industry is opening up with new jobs. If you think you’re cut out for a career in 3D animation, make up your mind and choose the best course now.

Analysts everywhere are awaiting the end of a decade that has seen at least two economic upheavals. In 2001 the bursting dotcom bubble caused a major shakeup among Silicon Valley startups, spreading gloom across the world. Late 2008 witnessed the fall of Lehman Brothers and the domino effect on the global economy that resulted in widespread job losses, slashed budgets and political repercussions.
Business-watchers are optimistic that the new decade will bring good tidings. They say that there are encouraging signs that the recession is showing signs of easing. While the economic slowdown led to across-the-board cost-cutting and dealt a harsh blow to face-to-face networking events in 2009, it forced serious professionals to go online. It made them rethink and redefine their networking strategies.
People are now networking in more and more dynamic ways. Video résumés, mashup profiles and online portfolios gained importance as job-seekers tried to gain a foothold in the slippery market.
The growth of wireless communications clearly led the way in 2009, making the mobile office a reality. At the same time, the rising popularity of tools like Google Wave enabled teams to collaborate across geographies and time zones while allowing companies to keep operating costs low while driving up productivity.
Online, business networking has acquired a personal touch. Signs of change are showing in networks such as Facebook, which initially began as a platform for university grads to connect with each other but now sees increasing traction with advertisers and brand marketers, making them attractive to job-seekers.
These trends reflect an upbeat mood in the jobs market. The Wall Street Journal reported in December that recruiters expect a 19% rise in executive-level jobs in the first half of 2010. The Christian Science Monitor warned that the growth of the jobs market may be “agonizingly slow” though the outlook is good for small and medium businesses, which will lap up many job-seekers. There is good news for fresh graduates, too. Job fairs, which were not fashionable in 2009, are showing signs of a revival.
The trends go to show that no matter at what pace the economy recovers, smart business networking holds the key to success in 2010. Are you ready?

We have all read success stories of bright young people who came up the hard way, studying under street lamps or tutoring the neighbor’s kids in their spare time to pay for their education. In the digital age, they could tap into something more interesting and infinitely more rewarding.
Meet the homework specialist, the latest player to benefit from outsourcing.
The economic downturn has made many American families rethink the monthly budget and where they put their money. A solid foundation in school, many Americans believe, will secure their future in a competitive global economy. Education, therefore, has taken top priority in many households.
Cashing in on the opportunity, a number of Indian companies have started to offer remote tutoring services to American students with websites offering online tests and quizzes. What better way for American schoolchildren to get higher grades by outsourcing their homework to qualified and competent teachers in India? And what better way for Indian teachers to make some extra income?
However, entrepreneur Krishnan Ganesh, CEO and founder of the Bangalore-based TutorVista, has taken the business to the next level. TutorVista puts American students in touch with teachers in India. Both parties can sit in the comfort of their homes and conduct their business.
According to GlobalPost, for $99 a month, American customers of TutorVista get unlimited coaching in English, math or science from tutors based in India. Note that similar personalized services in the United States can cost up to $40 an hour. On an average day, the site serves about 3,500 students.
For teachers, it is a great work-from-home model. Ganesh says that TutorVista has added 1,500 teachers to its rolls over the last month. These include fresh graduates, retired professionals and stay-at-home mothers. The service also attracts qualified professionals based in smaller towns and cities and gives them access to job opportunities that are unavailable locally.

Q: What do these drugs have in common – Avastin, Humira, Rituxan, Enbrel, Lantus?
A: By 2014, they are pegged to be the largest-selling drugs in the market.
Avastin, an anti-cancer antibody from biotech giant Genentech (recently acquired by Roche), is at the top of the list. Humira is an anti-inflammatory antibody for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and Crohn’s disease from Abbott Labs. Rituxan, an antibody for cancer and arthritis, is owned by Genentech/ Roche. The anti-inflammatory antibody Enbrel sold by Amgen and Wyeth (now part of Pfizer) comes in fourth while Sanofi-Aventis’s diabetes drug Lantus is in fifth place.
All of these are biotech products marketed by mainline pharma companies. The shift towards biotech-derived products represents a significant therapeutic shift, according to Evaluate Pharma. Evaluate also forecasts that over 50 percent of the top 100 drugs in 2014 will be biotech medications, which marks a significant shift from 28 percent in 2008 and 11 percent in 2000. It explains why Big Pharma has been pursuing biotech relentlessly.
Those stepping into a career in Biologics have reason to smile while marketing grads need to put their thinking caps on and get a little perspective. Most cutting-edge drug discovery jobs are in biotech, while the cool drug marketing jobs are going to remain in the small-molecule pharma business.
Either way, opportunity knocks.
