⇑Why choose the 3D Graphics and Game Art specialisation at AHE?

Why study it:

3D Graphics and Game Art is a specialisation of the Bachelor's degree in Graphics at the University of Humanities and Economics in Lodz (AHE) – a full-time, 6-semester programme taught in English. It is for students who want to design computer games and virtual reality, creating characters, environments and visual effects with an artistic rather than purely technical approach.

Programme: designing the game as a whole

The specialisation is built around three blocks of subjects:

  • computer game design – the game as a whole, post-production and special effects
  • environment and character design – 3D modelling, set elements, characters and level design
  • graphic design in games – the interface

Specialisation: art first, not only code

AHE approaches game design from the creative side: the focus is on the artistic look of virtual spaces and game elements rather than on programming. You learn to create the visual style of a game, set and environment elements and characters based on digital painting and concept drawing, and then build what you have designed in 3D using suitable modelling techniques. Classes are taught by specialists from the game industry and by graphic designers.

Labs: 3ds Max, Figma, Unreal and Unity

You work in Autodesk 3ds Max, Figma and the Unreal and Unity engines, covering 3D modelling and animation, audio and video editing and digital painting – with modelling, texturing, lighting and animation as the core skills.

After graduation: games, advertising and visualisation

Graduates can work in graphic design teams, in advertising agencies and in the computer game industry. The skills gained also apply to spatial and architectural visualisation.

Throughout the programme you work on real-world projects, so you finish your studies with practical experience in creating visual effects, characters and game environments.

Did you know? Alongside the core design blocks, the specialisation offers a separate course on music in computer games.

⇑Definitions and quotes

Art
Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art, the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art.
Game
A game is a structured form of play, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool. Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more often an expression of aesthetic or ideological elements. However, the distinction is not clear-cut, and many games are also considered to be work (such as professional players of spectator sports or games) or art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an artistic layout such as Mahjong, solitaire, or some video games).
Graphics
Graphics (from Greek γραφικός graphikos, "belonging to drawing") are visual images or designs on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone to inform, illustrate, or entertain. In contemporary usage it includes: a pictorial representation of data, as in computer-aided design and manufacture, in typesetting and the graphic arts, and in educational and recreational software. Images that are generated by a computer are called computer graphics.
Game
I've missed more than nine thousand shots in my career. Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Michael Jordan, as quoted in Whoever Makes the Most Mistakes Wins : The Paradox of Innovation (2003), by Richard Farson and Ralph Keyes, p. 32.
Art
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
G. K. Chesterton, as quoted in Arts magazine: Vol. 1 (1926), also in The Golden Book magazine, Vol. 7, (1928) by Henry Wysham Lanier, p. 323.
Art
In proportion as a community comes to substitute a qualitative for a quantitative standard of living, it escapes the limitations imposed by matter upon man. Art knows no restrictions of space or size, and in proportion as we attain the art of living we shall be likewise free.
John A. Hobson, The Evolution of Modern Capitalism: A Study of Machine Production (1906)
