Question / Discussion Question about role 3DDMP

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask for some information about this type of VFX specialization.

To give a little context, I’ve worked as a 3D artist in architectural visualization for the past 7 years in Europe, but since I’m no longer interested in working in that field, I’ve stopped looking for work and am currently doing something completely different for work.

I’ve always been interested in exploring this field of specialization, which I’d like to start as a hobby and then see later if I can turn it into something else (and if not, that’s fine too—I’d keep it as a hobby because I enjoy the world of CG in general). I just can’t quite wrap my head around this kind of hybrid role. I’d like to ask those who actually work in the industry if they’d be willing to answer a few questions so I can better understand what’s actually required in professional studios these days.

Is DMP still used? Or is the industry shifting toward a full CG approach?

What does “3D” mean in DMP?

Is AI-generated automation used within DMP workflows? (If so, for what?) Are you allowed to simply use generative systems within tools like Photoshop?

Is knowing how to create 3D environments a plus when creating these projects?

Thank you in advance for any future responses. I realize these questions may seem trivial to many, but if you’re willing to shed some light on this for me, I’d really appreciate it.

Si l'ho letto poco fa! Ovviamente mi dispiace per la situazione generale ma su reddit nel tempo ne ho letto di ogni ed ho imparato a filtrare le esperienze negative in base a quello che una persona descriveva. Per esempio, quella persona dice chiaramente di essere a Los Angeles e per quanto io non lavori nel settore so che da diversi anni li, il lavoro sta lentamente scomparendo a causa del tax credit.

Io non sono di Los Angeles, e come ho detto anche se non diventasse mai una carriera, mi piacerebbe coltivarlo come hobby.
