(Rough sketches only) • Level Designer: creates maps and deals with lighting and interior texture of the game for consistency. • Modeler: Takes the Concept Artist’s work and turns it into a 3d image for the game. • Texture Artist: gives the artwork for the game the right colors and design. • Creature Setup Technician: in charge of turning the character model into a digital puppet for later animation. • Animator: gives character the ability to move. • Programmer: integrates important functions for the game to work • Manager: in charge of making sure the game project is on the right track in regards to meeting certain deadlines. • Web Designer: creates promotions for websites and commercials to gain interest in the future game.

  8. New forms of video game animation

  9. Motion Capturing Video Games • Motion Capturing came out in the mid 90’s and has been used countlessly in films. Recently, video game companies have began to use it to make their games more realistic. • The company will take actors/actresses and have them act out certain scenes of the game while wearing motion capturing suits. • Once the movement is captured, it is then taken back to the animation team to construct the rest of the design of the character. • Video games that have used motion capturing technology include: Beyond Two Souls, Batman: Arkham Origins, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, and more! 3 2
