So You Wanna Make Games?? | Episode 5: Technical Art

I'm shifting from network engineering to technical art but wow I have no idea which specialty to choose. So many options! I think the file stuff is closest to what I currently do, but I'm incredibly fascinated by all of it.

I’m just about to take my first Tech Art class with Aaron Aikman, Lead Tech Artist of Blizzard and I cannot wait

Basically it is close to DevOPS but has the touch of artist included.

So do you have to have a very good understanding of math in order to do tech art?

I do not know the name of the guy in the red shirt, but I have been feeling exactly what he said for some time now "I have too choose between my two professions, making art with 3D and Programming". 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.

Dope. I'll make it

So that's what i am 😅😅

When will you do a video about work culture, worker rights, gender equality and sexual harasment prevension?

So is all programmer is a tech artist?

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.

oh and i have a question do riot have his own game engine or y'all use unreal engine

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 😊

I am going to be a technical artist for Dovetail Games! This is the company that makes my most favourite train driving simulator games which is "Train Sim World"!

TA: says something
The editing: "needs more dubstep"

I'm getting an interview tomorrow for being an unreal Tech artist. I'm hella nervous because I mainly specializing character design. I can't program but I definitely want this position.

Will we get one episode on game programming?

I love design and engineering, didn't know this was an option until now

Thanks for the video, now i know my brain was made to be tech artsit!

This is everything I am. Time to find a new job

CANCER GAME

You had me at burning stuff

i also feel very torn between programming and art. I'm glad to hear that not only is there a role for those of us who straddle the line, but its actually one of the most critical pieces to creating new and innovative experiences

Whats salary of a technical artist in states?

no paul

wow this came out in 2018! hahaha

Has anyone counted the amount of dubsteps in this series? Maybe like 100?

Very good

thanks a lot Riot ! These guys helped me a lot what does it make to be a tech artist.

How did you do all the animations and art in the video??

Thanks!!!

Isn’t every 3D artist a Tech Artist ? 😂

Inspiringly intriguing

I made my career path choice based on this video in the end after looking at a lot of stuff, have not regretted a single day, a day doesn't go by I'm not having actual fun at work! Thanks for this.

Haha hi Spencer! Nice to see you!

This is the dream

Hey guys you were very helpful for me. Thanks i may need your help in future I am entering in this field 😉😉

No wonder league client bugs is everywhere and veigo is the new bug king. Anyway very great series Wish I had found this vid 2 years ago when I start using ue4.

whoa i never knew this was a job but it's so cool!

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.

lol do you guys see that they avoiding about talking about programmng

The programming apears to be pretty basic level. What about AI?

I want to be a tech artist where to start? 😢 is it late to start? I have knowledge in C# and have a good programming logic and I am an artist too please help
