Sorry for highjacking; but I've just finished a degree in multimedia design where I focused on 3D and vfx stuff. I used Maya for a couple years, but went to 3ds Max (with a few other programs / plug-ins; Vue, FumeFX) for a few jobs I've had, and I use After Effects for compositing.
Is there anything else I should know, program wise (I'm sure more I know is handy, but anything detrimental?), or film knowledge wise? I'm not 100% sure where I want to go with it; pure vfx, and compositing, or something else; unfortunately where I am other than mine site visuals, there isn't much 'fun' stuff. How would I best go further?
Is there anything that you recommend for building rapport / anything specific people who hire look for? (Outside of knowing people for a job, what do you look for personally?) Creative styles? Being better (focusing) on a few small talents / or more a jack of all trades kinda thing.
Wish I had something a little more interesting to ask ...
