Does anyone know about being a 3D technical artist?

I'm highly interested in the field of 3d Animation, and am trying to find a fit for myself. I'm looking to pursue a job in this field ASAP. I'm a programmer, BS Computer degree and all, but am an artist at heart. I've been doing game projects and 3d plugin projects (i.e. character rigging, animation, etc).



Does anyone know about being a technical artist, and if so, could you provide some info on what they do? If not, does anyone know what might be a good ';ideal job'; for me in the 3d area?



And if someone that is reading this is in the 3d field (i.e. Computer Animation, Game Industry), would you mind corresponding through email if I have any more questions? Thanks!
