Position:Home>Visual Arts> Is it possible to be a CG artist even if you are not very creative?


Question:Hey, i been working with graphics for next to forever, i know Maya, mudbox, zbrush, Photoshop, illistrater, etc... i know how to make the stuff, but yet i lack one very important thing... creativity. I cant think up ideas for myself. if you give me a pictures and tell me to remodel it in 3d, sure, i can do that, but i just don't have the creativity of making this stuff from my own designs. Can i still get a job as a CG artist even with this flaw? it is too late for me to turn back now, but will this limit me serverly in my carrier choices? Is any one else having this problem?

To the best of my knowledge, the short answer is yes. The jobs probably wont be as exciting and you may not have as much room to grow, but there are jobs out there, yeah.
