So You Wanna Make Games?? | Episode 5: Technical Art
Переглядів 187,838
5 років томуThere are many different specializations within tech art, but at its core, it's about streamlining art creation and implementation. Whether on the tools side of things-building pipelines and custom tooling, or the game content side-rigging characters, or creating shaders, tech art requires keen problem solving skills. Check out this video to learn about some of the common specializations for tech art and why they’re so critical to any development team.

@@rocketbird1 Been so busy i haven't opened youtube in weeks. Thank you for the interest, i'm propably not going to elaborate too much with my private account here. Suffice to say i joined a small indie studio as a QA tester and right after i got picked to actually join the company, i've since gone on to become the principal graphics and optimization programmer. There's so much to just those two subjects they'll keep me entertained and learning new stuff for years to come!

I'm studying Game Programming and man, my passion has always been art, and I'm especially interested in animation, but I realised that programming really wasn't my dream job. I'm so glad a job like this exists, because that way I can use the programming knowledge of my study while also doing what I love which is art. And I think going from Technical Animator to Animator should be much more straightforward too, which is awesome :)

@Gredran Рік тому
I feel weird when I feel like I’m enjoying learning rigging, but not necessarily the tedious puzzle pieces and trial and error, but that PLUS when it comes to life 😊 Technical artists and animators are definitely modern wizards. The fact we can animate dragons or aliens or spiders or make spanning environments while the computer runs effortlessly? I understand why it isn’t for everyone and why it’s in such high demand because it’s so complex, but mannnn it’s so rewarding when it begins to click 😊

Wow, I've seen "technical artists" in credit sequences of video games and never knew what they were. Whenever I saw hiring forms asking "what do you want to apply for" I sinked into an analysis-paralysis loophole and never ever applied, but rather decided to make my own game instead. Turns out, I might've been learning to be tech artist this whole time, for the last 12 years. Just wow.

I recently applied to and will start a System Engineer HVE but I feel that I will miss making art. And now I find this Tech Art thingie, seems like the sun rays finally shines through the clouds. I would LOVE to talk to anyone in the Tech Art genre for advice on where to go from here, what to learn and how to specialise. Please drop me a DM or something.
