Let your artistic and  game design skills take you to the next level in games development

Computer Generated imagery (CG) artists and game developers work together to create video games, with CG artists responsible for designing and creating the visual elements of the game, such as environments, characters, and vehicles/props, while game developers focus on the programming, interaction and technical aspects of the game.
