As the gaming industry keeps scaling every year and the standard for graphics and technology rises with every release, engineers and artists depend more and more on a middle layer that keeps projects shipping smoothly. In this talk, I’ll explain what technical art is and how skills from engineering, art, and production overlap in the industry. Together we'll cover the core domains of technical art, provide real-world examples of the kinds of problems technical artists handle, and reveal the unseen work that holds games together.
