CG Artist

How much do CG artists make? Like the ones who model the scenes, or animate the characters/objects?

Are they freelancers or contracted employees at a studio? Both, I would assume, but what is the benifit of being a CG artist?

Mocha to Shake shape data

Hi there,

Normally I just track in Mocha then attach my Rotoshape to the track in Shake. However, I thought I’d have a go at exporting shape data from Mocha and importing into Shake. To do this I am copying the .ssf to a Shake Rotoshape node. However, Shake always crashes when I do this. Am I missing something? Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or offer me a step-by-step work around?

I’m on a Mac running Shake 4.1 and running Mocha 1.6

Thanks
