Why study it:

3D Graphics and Game Art is a specialisation within the MA in Graphics at the University of Humanities and Economics in Lodz (AHE), offered in English. It is meant for graduates fascinated by digital art and games who want to work on 3D graphics, game worlds and interactive media.

Programme: game design, environments and interfaces

The specialisation courses include:

  • Computer Game Design – a design block covering the game as a whole, including post-production and visual effects
  • Environment and Character Design – 3D modelling, set elements, character design and level design
  • Graphic Design in Games – designing game user interfaces
  • 3D modelling, animation, texturing and lighting techniques

Specialisation: from concept art to the game engine

On the 3D side you model objects, characters and digital environments, using digital sculpting, texturing, digital materials, lighting and rendering, and you prepare assets optimised for real-time engines. On the game art side you create concept art, environment art and user interface elements, and learn how artists work with game designers, programmers, animators and producers. Game engines and real-time tools are used to build interactive presentations, prototypes and digital environments. You also develop your drawing and painting skills, research and moodboards, and learn about copyright and intellectual property.

Labs: industry software and digital painting

10 questions · two minutes

1. A lecturer or art director reviews your portfolio and says the work is technically sound but lacks a distinctive style. What do you do?

2. Your character model looks great, but it’s too heavy for the game to run smoothly. How do you tackle it?

3. You join a team making a game with a specific art style, and your assets stand out from the rest. What do you do?

4. You’re working on a project with people from several countries – briefs, feedback and presentations are all in English. How comfortable are you?

5. How well do you know the whole pipeline for a game asset – from concept sketch through modelling and texturing to getting it into the engine?

6. You’re designing the environment for a game level, and playtesters keep getting lost. How do you respond?

7. For your Master’s you need to complete an independent art project. How do you plan it?

8. How important are the classical fundamentals – anatomy, perspective, colour theory – to you?

9. New tools keep appearing – AI-powered ones, 3D scanning and so on. How do you see them?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in 3D Graphics and Game Art?

⇑Definitions and quotes

Art
Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art, the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art.
Game
A game is a structured form of play, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool. Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more often an expression of aesthetic or ideological elements. However, the distinction is not clear-cut, and many games are also considered to be work (such as professional players of spectator sports or games) or art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an artistic layout such as Mahjong, solitaire, or some video games).
Graphics
Graphics (from Greek γραφικός graphikos, "belonging to drawing") are visual images or designs on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone to inform, illustrate, or entertain. In contemporary usage it includes: a pictorial representation of data, as in computer-aided design and manufacture, in typesetting and the graphic arts, and in educational and recreational software. Images that are generated by a computer are called computer graphics.
Game
It should be noted that children at play are not playing about; their games should be seen as their most serious-minded activity.
Michel de Montaigne, in Essais (1580), as edited by Maurice Rat (1958), Book I, Ch. 23.
Game
Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. Not all holes, or games, are created equal.
George Will, in Men at Work : The Craft of Baseball (1990), p. 294.
Game
All my games were political games; I was, like Joan of Arc, perpetually being burned at the stake.
Indira Gandhi, as quoted in The New York Times Biographical Service (1971), Vol. 2, p. 4027.
