Gnomon is getting ready for their free community events in August, starting tomorrow with ZBrush Sculpting Workshop: Sci-Fi Design & Development event.
Being a successful game artist means more than being just a talented visual designer. Understanding the technical process, knowing the intent of gameplay and story, and being aware of the aesthetics of what is being created will make you part of the bigger picture and aid you in becoming an excellent decision-maker and team leader.
On August 24th, three lead artists from Insomniac Games will open a discussion at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects that will break down the stigma of artists feeling removed from game design. The panel will be moderated and audience participation is encouraged. Whether you’re a budding game artist, an industry professional, or simply curious about how your favorite games are made, there will be information for everyone. You’ll leave the event with tips to help you think more like a game designer and how to work better as a team member, as well as how to stay focused on the end goal of a project while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The panelists will also explain what companies like Insomniac Games look for in candidates and offer portfolio advice for those looking to break into the industry.
