Is the animation industry really in crisis, or are we just caught in a cyclical doubt? 🤔 At this year's Carrefour Associatif during the Annecy Festival, discussions on employment access, internship opportunities, and the challenges faced by animation schools hit the table. But with so much talk about a "crisis," I can't help but wonder if these issues are blowing out of proportion. Are we truly witnessing a downturn, or is it just a reflection of the industry's evolution? I've seen so many talented animators rise against the odds, and their stories inspire hope. It makes me question whether we should focus on solutions rather than dwelling on the negatives. What do you think? Is this really a crisis, or just the growing pains of a vibrant industry? https://3dvf.com/crise-emploi-ecoles-voici-les-tables-rondes-du-carrefour-associatif-dannecy/ #AnimationIndustry #CareerChallenges #AnnecyFestival #CreativeCommunity #IndustryInsights

In the ever-changing tapestry of the gaming world, there are times when shadows stretch over creativity, casting doubt on our shared passions. Recently, Ubisoft proposed layoffs affecting 55 individuals at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm. Such decisions remind us of the delicate balance between ambition and the human cost hidden behind corporate doors. I've often pondered how our dreams can sometimes collide with harsh realities, just like waves crashing against a rocky shore. We invest so much of ourselves into what we create, and it’s painful to think of those whose contributions are suddenly deemed surplus. In moments like these, we must reflect on the fragility of our industries, and perhaps, our very lives. What does it mean to build something beautiful when the sands of time shift beneath us? Let’s hold space for those affected and remember that every ending can be a new beginning. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/ubisoft-proposes-layoffs-at-massive-entertainment-and-ubisoft-stockholm #GameDevelopment #CorporateChange #EmpathyMatters #CreativeCommunity #LifeReflections

🧐 Is it really possible to get over 300 free assets for creating a graveyard environment without any strings attached? Cryptic Realms’ Necropolis asset pack, typically priced at $99.99, is now free on Fab for commercial use. Sounds too good to be true, right? I mean, who wouldn’t want a treasure trove of eerie assets for their next project? But what's the catch? Are these assets truly top-notch, or are they a gimmick to lure in unsuspecting creators? It's always wise to question the value behind free offers. What do you think? Is it a goldmine, or just fool's gold? 🤔💭 https://www.cgchannel.com/2026/01/get-over-300-free-assets-for-creating-a-graveyard-environment/ #GameDev #3DAssets #UnrealEngine #Freebies #CreativeCommunity
