Yeah I didnt get into Monash when I was studying Industrial Design so I went to Swinburne instead, I found they were pretty good not as good as Monash but still very decent. I was annoyed Swinburne offered no Automotive component of the course tho baahh what are you gonna do

Yeah for sure.

Holden need 3d modelers to show the concept designs before molding it out.

Or what you should do is get into 3d animation / game development.

I assume you 3d model out the playgrounds you design..?

[MrWindsurf]

Yeah man, Most of the time they just come from the drafies downstairs premodled, I just import, texture, light and setup a scene then render out the previs stuff then comp it in photoshop I like to model stuff but there isn't enought time in the day to model every playground.

yeah if you want automotive you've gotta go to monash, I think they're the only uni in australia that teach auto design & clay modelling. Holden actually sponser the 'clay room' & their chief of modelling & fabrication, Mike Chester, teaches the students plus theres is currently 3 former senior designers from ford in the i.d. faculty. Like I said earlier, companies pay a lot of attention to monash students during their final year(s) which makes it heaps easier getting work.

Also for anyone doing i.d. (regardless of uni) make sure you apply for the co-op positions at holden/ford, they have a few each, as they are almost a guaranteed job once you graduate (unless your useless...)

Mr windsurf you say your ok with computer modelling, if you have any skills with alias autostudio holden & ford are both hiring right now (plus designers, clay modellers, colour/trim, etc.) so check the ads on seek & contact flexitech.

cheers, tim

[Rekin]

haha yeah nothing on telly so im reading everything for a change!

Jobs arent too bad, i.d. is pretty good in that you come out being able to go into a heap of different design areas. for example from my year, couple guys went to i.d. companies in melb (companies that do basically all kinds of work for clients), ones designing characters/environments for a video game company in port melbourne, few doing furniture design, ones working for dyson in the uk, couple doing web design, another went to italy to do his masters (now working there) & a heap of us went into automotive. 3 are designers (1 holden, 1 ford, 1 merc in china but previously honda in japan), 1's a photoshop artist at ford, 4 or 5 are alias modellers (ford, holden, hsv, they do all the 3d computer modelling during design process) & me & a mate got clay modelling jobs at ford. We make the concept/proto-type cars out of clay, generally all full size & do interiors too.

There is heaps of auto work overseas, generally contract based, & pretty easy to move around once you've got about 5yrs experience. Auto design took a massive beating during gfc but pretty much back to full speed again (here & o.s.), I've been out of ford for about 18mths now (I worked on fords new t6 ranger so finished up at end of program) & have just been sluming it in factories since but as i said its all good again, currently have 2 offers & just working out where i wanna go.

As i said earlier i dont venture into vic wasteland all that often so if you/your bro have any questions about i.d. at monash or just in general shoot me a pm.

cheers, Tim

Cheers for the wise words Tim! I will pass on the info to my bro. Thanks
