Is VR necessary compared to 3DMAX?

That’s not the case, you don’t have to learn VR to learn 3D.

In fact, 3D can be used for modeling and design. Using VR only renders pictures more realistic, so you can learn slowly at work.

But in the actual situation of job hunting, this is not necessarily the case. Some companies think that as long as you know 3D, you can already work for the company, and others can do the VR part. But some companies hope to get it right in one step when recruiting, hoping that employees will know everything from the beginning. So this depends on your luck or the requirements of the company you are applying for.

In fact, VR, if you study hard, you can learn it in a week. There is no need to learn it slowly. But if you want to be proficient, it takes time to accumulate.

I was lucky. I found a job as soon as I could learn 3DMAX. The VR part was completed by other employees. Later, I slowly learned VR by myself and learned it in a week.
