Career Development Presents: Crafting Worlds- The Art of Modeling for Games and Cinematics

Join us for an exciting session with Juan Nuno, the principal artist at Respawn Entertainment, as he delves into the fascinating world of game modeling.

Discover how modeling for interactive, real-time environments in games differs from the high detail demands of film, and learn how to think about producing assets for both mediums. Juan's journey includes building Riot Games' in-house cinematics team from scratch, growing it from 3 to 40 members, and developing efficient pipelines for high-end renders.
