Hi, I recently graduated from college with a degree in 3-D animation and special effects. I'm looking to go back to college to do 3D cad design. I have a few questions about "CAD"
1. Is CAD mostly done in 2-D or 3-D
2. What type of industries use 3D CAD, specifically with just 3-D modeling
3. Are Jobs that use CAD mostly freelance, or actually stable-staff jobs?
4. How much can a entry level CAD designer make?
5. Is CAD drastically different then the 3-D that I did in school (for example AutoDesk's Maya software)
6. In 3D animation for film or games there was different specializations with in 3D, for example, some are hired to just do modeling, some people are hired to do just character animation, some people are hired to do just dynamics, some people are hired to just do rendering/texturing...is there a similar workflow in the CAD world?
7. What other things should I know about CAD? like what would you have liked to have known before starting a career doing CAD work?
8. What exsacly is CAD? Would someone with my background transition easly into it?
