What speciality I should aim for in the games industry? Also some pipeline questions.
Hello everyone! I'm currently in high school and I'm studying 3D stuff for 1 year or so now. I got into a lot of things (VFX, animation, compositing, motion graphics etc.) before settling down on Blender and ZBrush doing simple props. I've wanted to be a character artist, but I dont want to sculpt something I dont like, so… -

It really depends on how much responsibility you get to take on, and this depends on the level you're currently at and what you want to specialize towards or at all. For instance, an artist might start as a model artist, which is a general role, then find themselves good a making rocks, and become a rock artist for… -

Really? Then Environment Artists needs to know how to sculpt the human figure as well. It seems like this job is harder than I thought. I've also been researching, and looks like design teams block out the levels, and environment artists are just putting the assets to where they should go according to the design. It's… -

First of all, thank you very much for your long and detailed reply. This was an eye opener. I realized a lot about myself. Also thanks to your advice, I kind of have a vague understanding of where my interests lie. I think I was too obsessed with specializing, I was thinking about this stuff for a long time before opening… -

Environment Artists can be tasked to build the world sometimes. They might be more specified into "World Artists" in those cases. You're going to need sculpting if you're going to sculpt a humanoid statue. Or possibly Victorian filigree. Extrapolate possibilties from there. 1) Depends on which is fastest and what elements… -

Thank you for your answer! These are some amazing tips. Unfortunately, I tried to do some modding, and actually did, but it takes so much unnecessary time, and its very annoying to get it to work in-game. This is what I've seen from Bethesda's games, I dont know about others. With Fallout 4 and Skyrim:SE it got a lot more…
