Technical Art for Games & VFX

This course prepares students for technical art, a role that bridges artistic and engineering work in games and visual effects. Students create tools, shaders, lighting setups and procedural content while also producing finished artwork. Teaching emphasises problem solving and the ability to move comfortably between creative and technical tasks. Students use professional engines and software in a studio-style setting, and industry briefs add realistic constraints to every project. Partnerships with engine developers and training bodies support the teaching throughout. Graduates move into technical art roles across games and visual effects studios, where they help artists and programmers work together. Graduates leave with a portfolio that presents both artistic and technical work clearly to employers. The course also develops communication skills that help technical artists explain their decisions to artists and designers.
