I'm a fashion dsgnr for 10 years and I'm currently learning the 3d clothing design program. Is it ridiculous to try to switch to the gaming industry as a character outfit designer?As far as I see, there are not many job postings for this position, generally they are looking for a 3D character designer, but in my opinion, the two are different things.I would like to get an opinion from someone who knows the industry. It's my dream job but i know the world is not suitable for all our pink dreams

I would say if you want to make the jump you are better off trying to find an existing project that suits your talents, try posting your work for people to see, or potentially create art assets people can buy and leverage (itch.io is a popular option)

As an added note, most indie games place higher value on aesthetic over model fidelity, and you might find that placing restrictions on yourself for your designs such as polycount or color limitations can help practice developing common visual aesthetics to design from.
