With things like computer graphics you're competing with a very different pool of applicants than you likely were before. People with PhD's and Masters in related fields. I have found success with positioning myself as someone who works on the edges of multiple domains. So if you were a web developer before it would be at an intersection of web development and computer graphics which could be web gl or operationalizing graphics applications for web or cloud integration. This won't work very well at larger companies that have a lot of clear boundaries between positions, but it will work at startups where boundaries are less clearly defined and people wear multiple hats. In summary, try startups and position yourself at the intersection of multiple domains to get your foot in the door.
