I bring my own tablet, I don't work in a studio as much as a department in a Corporation. Atlantis Eduplus in Dartmouth to be exact, we're doing work for DND/Canadian Gov't for different e-learning solutions for the new replacement of the seaking, and soon to be the replacement of the Hercules.... THE SUPER HERCULES!!!

I used to work in a department like that at IMP Aerospace doing technical publication work and one of our contracts were with the SeaKings. They were really starting to get into the automated training stuff as well while I was there and pushing us to do more with it as they were finding a lot of their experienced tech's were going to be retiring soon and they wanted ways to preserve that knowledge for the next generation to learn without them.

There seems to be a good market for e-learning now, maybe I'll take that dive when my contract here is up..

Doesn't sound like a bad job at all, any CAD involved? Sucks that you gotta supply your own tablet, I ALMOST had to do that at my current job hehehe..

Not so much CAD work, but it'd help if you were familiar with it I'm sure. I'm a "3D Multimedia Artist". However I trained for 2yrs at a 3D Game Animation Artist. My primary tools were Maya, MotionBuilder, Adobe Suit, and a few 3rd party programs for normal maps and my favorite ZBrush!

Now I use Adobe Suite, 3DS Max, Right Hemisphere, Ngrain, Cortona 3D, iClone (*cries*) and a few random programs I can't recall.

Ya that's what DND was all hot on when I was still there. I wasn't in the Illustrating department but since I worked closely with them for proof-of-concept projects in IT I got to take the 3 day Ngrain course the company had for us... they sent this really cute girl to teach it too.

oh? sweet.. I have to learn it soon.. my gf can never know!
