I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this, but...
I recently played the game "The Beginner's Guide" and was amazed at the architecture and spaces within the game. Looking at the amazing life like Unreal Engine 4 lifelike simulations is mind blowing too. I love it so much that I've decided that that's what I want to do.
But where should I start? I'm up for going to college for this stuff. Do I take a minor in "Game Art and Animation" or do I go for "Computer Programming" ?
Any advice would be great.
You should get a PhD in reading the sticky.
And realise that this is a very broad and complex field taking years to get good at. The pay will be bad and there won't be much job security.

if you're serious about a career in 3d modeling, design, animation, shading, scripting, and helping to shape the forefront of the industry, that's your best bet.

passion = success.
passion without knowledge = a dream.
passion with knowledge = a dream made reality.
if you're absolutely dedicated to pushing it, you'll push it.
anybody that nay says in this thread is just being a bit too internet.

i'm a professional guitarist and composer and i can tell you that passion for art makes you an artist.
getting paid makes you a professional, and nobody will hire you without at least some proof of knowledge of what you're doing.

Apparently it's like "Start learning coding/doing shit and shit will happen"
I'll sage myself out

Hey man thanks for the encouraging words.
I feel like I just want to create stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGGPQKBfLxc
So should I learn programming or 3d?
I don't understand what goes into a game. I'm primarily pumped up on creating environments/

3d for making the models.
coding for the shaders in case you ever need a custom one.
