What is the course exactly in SA. The work seems very advanced for a Multimedia Cert4, and what software are they using. At Kingsclliff Tafe we've used Blender, the unit is ungraded, and students have produced nothing like this because we don't have the funding, equipment, resources.
The course is actually an Advanced Diploma in Screen. It goes for two years and we focus on art. This means that we don’t put as much into animation and programming as other courses do. We focus on modeling and texturing. Head to our website at tafesa.edu.au/game-art-studies
Wow you use game engines such as UDK and Unity? I'm currently learning the basics of Unity at the moment at home. Would love to do this course next year! :D
The idea about being an artist is being able to reach the quality objectives when creating 3D models.
Most artists when they have finished their studies can draw.
Invariably they can easily be taught to draw. So its about your aptitude. Get a few quick lessons privately and see how you go. Put one of these observational drawings in your portfolio.
I am thinking of enrolling in this course, I'm not very good at drawing, (im ok in flash) but i'v met some people that do modeling (the computer knid) and they arnt very good either. Are my drawing skills going to be a problem?
Although we are looking at prospect’s art portfolio the most, including compulsory observational drawing(s); you don’t have to be a fine draftsman to get in. In fact,very few prospects are. We will try to gauge your aptitude, potential rather than judge accomplished skills.
Hi i might be applying for the cert3 3D game design course in Central Tafe Wa and would like to know what programs you use so that i can start learning them now that way i have a better grasp of the programs for when i start.
We are in Tea Tree Gully TAFE South Australia, we are using mainly Autodesk Maya and Mudbox , Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator and AE, plus game engines like UDK and Unity.
You should inquire Central Tafe Wa directly, because all TAFE courses are independent in content delivery and choice of software. Thank you
Hey I'm desperately searching the right Uni or TAFE course. I'm into game design somewhat and also general animation and film and art. Without being bias and just trying to sell me TAFE, is TAFE superior then Uni courses in this area? Because this stuff here (if its created by TAFE) is vastly superior then the animations I've seen from Flinders and UNISA, but I'm in desperate need of direction. Is TAFE the way to go for those areas or which is the best Uni in Adelaide for it.
Hey thanks for your comment. Please be aware that the game industry prefers graduates to be specialists in either programming, animation, art or design.
Game Art is an art specialist course: modelling and texturing. Our brother course: CGI specialises in animation. Contact the SATAC website for info. As far as game design and programming goes there are specialist courses in town. Research all the providers including the Universities.
hey... i wana be a game artist but im not realy certain cause i only no treditional methods draw ,paint ect... do think this how everone started? i need help
Look if you want to be an (game) artist you need some aptitude for visual art in some shape or form, but it’s all very individual…. 3D technology plays a big role as well

Then if you get in you’ll probably do fine.

how come all game models have to be modeled in triangles? I hear in the movie animation industry, working in quads is a must.
evanescfan 1 year ago
@evanescfan
Meshes of triangles are popular as they have proven to be easy to render with game engines
