Tech-Art Video Game training
The Tech-Art program (NTL1.M Artistic and technical production of video games) trains students to become Technical
Artist, a “hybrid” specialist between artistic creation and programming.
Technical and demanding, the training places students in conditions similar to those of a professional studio.
Students learn to create video game projects by mastering both the creative aspect (creation of processing materials, shaders, particule systems, special effects, game dressing…..) as well as the technical dimension (rigging, programming, integration…).
In addition to technical knowledge, students learn to work in a team and to supervise all stages of production.
Training objectives
Duration : 3 years – Language of instruction : French/English – Montreal.
We are committed to prepare the creative minds of tomorrow.
