Would people be interested in a blog post about CV / folio creation for applying for #techart jobs in #gamedev ? I've been involved with recruitment in my last two jobs and seen so many applications where we just can't tell what the candidate can do.

I think the problem is a lot of people still don't understand what comes under tech art. And from what I'm seeing most schools still don't either

100% agree! I'm going to cover it a bit - difference between tech art, tech animation and vfx. If you have any examples of things people think are TA that isn't shoot them over! I'll credit you :)

It's a difficult one because those are basically specialisms within tech art (lighting I'd argue too). But then with just "technical artists", we get involved and straight up overlap those things too I'd definitely argue you need to be more technical than artist though

A tech artist can be all those things but a specialist in one of those isn't a tech artist. If that makes sense? That overlap is the key! Problem solving and flexibility is ultimately the best ta skill imo.

Generally if I don't see a scripting language or node based equivalent alongside one of those specialisms I'm not convinced its TA. What's your thoughts?
