In the context of VFX/3D art jobs that you’ve mentioned, it can be that the ability to do everything on a Linux system. What that entails is beyond me. I’m far removed from the area.
Taking the stab all the same.
At a high level, can you get the software working on Linux system? Can you get the codecs and whatnot installed and working? Can you get the data to be processed prepared for working in the environment? Can you convert the processed data to the format that is friendlier for consumption on a wide range of platforms? Are some questions that pop to the top of the mind. Basically if you can run a non trivial part of the business without making a fuss, I’d consider you proficient. What you can and cannot do outside of this scope is, well, none of my business.
I think adding a bit of curvature to the six surfaces of a regular cube can throw off many. Then there’s scale. Astronomical scales and milli or micro meter scales adds its own complexity by the simple fact that we lack regular language tools to capture the ideas and express them completely.
Where do we see curved surfaces? Everywhere from flight routes to space flight to deep sea diving.
Though I am not all tbat clear where we apply 3d geometry at micro scale or smaller, just a hunch that we may need them.
Language plays catch up. Is.
