Technical Artists help Artists and Designers get their content into the game with the least pain possible, and help Engineers and Artists communicate fluidly.

Technical Artists must know what a healthy art pipeline "looks like" and must help make sure that content creators have the tools & support necessary to do their jobs.


Technical Art Skills

There are many roles in Technical Art. The skills of Technical Artists vary widely from studio to studio; they often specialize in a particular subset. The most common task is writing tools for the artists in their teams.

Tech-Artists.Org Wiki Conversion

The Tech-Artists.Org administrators are interested in moving their wiki content into the Polycount wiki. Their wiki has suffered from a lack of updated content, and has frequently been attacked by spam.

We would be very appreciative if someone could help with this!
