[Anonymous]

Hi,

This is highly tricky question. It depends upon where you will be employed ... automaker or OEM supplier for surfacing. It also depends upon whether you will be doing concept modeling (maybe sketch to surface) or class-A modeling. Also upon your expertise in alias. Lot of factors will decide the salary. I feel no general rule here ...

Any expert folks out here what to share something more ?

Hi wojtul1898,

Sorry I do not want to offend anyone, but are you kidding?
Man, if I could start somewhere as an Alias modeler, earning just enough to keep my head up I would take it right away!!! specially if I had just finished school!!!! you have your (professional) life ahead of you and really you have to start somewhere.... or watch out you might end up somewhere completely different.

Whishing all the best though!
Cheers! Hans

times are tough and very different then when i left school. I got as many offers as the top sketching guy in our school just because of my Alias and sketching skills. when there is no boundary between 2D and 3D, your value goes way up. I know most of friends that went the Alias Designer route started well over 50k usd. its a very full filling and interesting job. California in particular has lots of opportunity in automotive and products.

here is a link to salary ranges for CAD in Industrial design.

Hi there wojtul!

I am sorry for taking the liberty to ask you to help me out when your are trying to clarify a doubt yourself but I thought you really could help me as I wanted to know about masters in this field and you seems to have acquired it.
I have for long, been passionate about automobile designing, CARS to be more specific. I have a background in arts and 3D modeling for movies with MAYA. Kindly give me as much info as possible. I am a BFA graduate with concentration in a subject that is totally unconnected to this. So, I want to particularly know of colleges which offer Masters in the field of Automobile designing to a student with a back ground such as mine. Where in Europe did you pursue? I'll be very thankful to you if you can give me additional info about the college you studied in.
Regards
Rajneesh
