Take your assets in-engine with Unreal and Unity to bring your work to life in an in-game environment.

Concept art is taught using both traditional and digital techniques with the latest software, cutting edge hardware, live models, and classes that cover all the major genres of games.
Game Design
Brainstorm innovative ideas, lay out level architecture, script gameplay mechanics, and design the underlying systems that form the core gameplay experience. Work closely with artists and programmers to turn practical and theoretical concepts into finished gameplay.
