Visual Arts Track
The focus of game art is shifting from simply attaining the best possible production quality to exploring new ideas and art styles that allow a game to stand out from the competition.
The Visual Arts Track delves into the nitty-gritty of the artistic side of games and offers longer format classes to allow speakers the time to walk attendees step-by-step through the latest tools and techniques. Each class will be self-contained to provide the specific practical knowledge of advanced techniques that will take game art in new directions.
