There 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.

  9. I'm loving this series it really is giving me insight on perhaps a path I want to follow

  10. At 10:52 this is how I've been feeling. I'm currently pursuing a BA in Graphic Design, but I love coding as well. My goal is to join the Game Dev community, but before I found out about Tech Art I was struggling to make a choice.

  11. This position is so frustrating y'all kids have no idea

  12. I was thinking about technical art for a long time. This video somehow made me cry and the only reason i can think of is that maybe i really should do tech art

  13. I love how whenever Tech Artist functions comes up, it always boils down to Artists being idiots from which you can't expect anything besides making art.

  14. Been working in the industry for a few years, I clicked this video because im a tech artist (mostly shaders) and yes, I write my own code :). Currently Im working on a water simulation. similar to portal 2 goo We are one of the highest paid, but there arent many of us

  15. Tech Artists? More like I’m going to kill myself this seems so stressful

  16. finally understand why riot were hiring engineers and tech artist recently,I am not interested in this but this helps to understand and improve my art and what to improve,this is great stuff,regardless if you are a teach artist or just a concept artist.

  17. This is so useful. I had problem to choose what to learn, is software development or art design, and i scared im choose a wrong path. But this video tell me that i can be both. Thank you.

  29. I teach English for Games Graphics Design Majors here in Korea. This series has become our "textbook". I have learned a lot! I think it's great for visual learners to watch videos and they can use the captions or slow it down to get the vocabulary. Speaking is a little fast.
