Advanced 3D Game Art - Distance Learning

What will I study? On this degree you will cover abroad range of topics, from researching into the field of game art, looking at both historical and contemporary practice to generating ideas derived from your findings, we will help you grow your skillset.

After your initial research, you’ll create a small original sample game art of your own derived from your research work which will help to establish and personalise the overall direction of your studies and practice. You’ll then look in depth at character creation and game environments which make up the bulk of the artwork of a 3D game.

This degree is aimed at learners who have already mastered animation tools to a good extent, and are looking to focus their efforts on creating professional standard work that is highly creative and expressive.

Preproducing and producing a completed game art project comprises the rest of the course. This will cover areas such as:

The preproduction phase will help you to explore technical and artistic challenges and prepare to enter the production phase in which you will create your final major project. 

How will I be taught? You’ll be given access to synchronous sessions each week with a lecturer who will be online throughout the session. Normally these will begin with a group seminar and then break into 1:1 sessions. Sometimes these seminars will be used for presentations and review, in a manner that mimics the dailies process in industry. In addition to this there will be some lecture content made available by video to help guide you through the unit. You'll use an online learning platform, where you work through a set of recorded lectures which will be an average of 10 minutes long. You will be able to submit your work for asynchronous formative review which will be delivered as a video commentary on your work.
