Bachelor's Degree Video Game Art
In barely thirty years, video games moved from a hobby status to one of the biggest entertainment industries.
This extraordinary growth can only be sustained by supplying new highly specialized professionals on the labour market, because the complex technologies used in this domain need a special training more than ever for those who want to enter that extremely competitive field.
Thanks to partnerships with key companies in the video game industry such as Sony Computer Entertainment and the availability of exclusive material (developing systems and professional engines), the video game programme offers you to develop cutting-edge skills in the most promising fields of this industry and takes place in the same learning environment you will later find in the industry.
The teaching team includes many teachers actively working in the video game industry. It enables us, among other things, to ensure that our graduate students will always be ready to face the most recent technologies required by the job.
GAME ART:
Creative parts: design of environments, weapons, vehicles, textures and characters, conceptual design and traditional sculpture.
Technical parts: Lighting, environment pipeline and integration.
Game art allows you to design graphical resources for video games such as environments, objects, characters or creatures.
Beyond the visual aspect, technical constraints are important since the result has to be beautiful but also integrated to a functional project meeting the performance and quality requirements of the target platforms. Thanks to partnerships with leading figures of the industry, we use professional development sets such as PlayStation®4 to this end.
