Asset Design for Indie Games

Design game-ready assets with concept artist and indie developer Shaun Mooney. Working as the sole artist on a two-person game team, Shaun demonstrates an agile process for taking a vehicle from an existing concept to a fully integrated in-game asset. You’ll follow as he moves between Blender, Photoshop, and the game engine, testing collision and functionality early before refining the design through repeated rounds of 3D modeling and 2D paintover. This Session offers a practical look at how indie artists can cut through production overhead, solve problems as they arise, and let the needs of the game guide the design.
