Course summary

The popularity of computer games shows no signs of slowing down with the regular release of new sophisticated and innovative products, and smartphone apps – many developed in the UK. As a computer games artist you create a game's characters, assets, environments, creatures and vehicles, as well as producing concept art and storyboards.

You develop your artistic skills and explore specialised areas including 3D character sculpting, photo-real texturing and surfaces, hard surface modelling, shaders, material, lighting and effects, game engine implementation, concept art, environment art and character art.
