Presented by Paul Martin
November 2nd11:15 - 12:15Room : Verdun
With the complexity of today’s video games and their associated tight development timelines, it is of paramount importance for studios to have a highly efficient content-authoring process and production workflow. This lecture will give valuable insight into how to create new content-authoring tools and data transformation pipelines that will promote efficient workflow for production teams. It will explore three main areas of asset production and conditioning: authoring tools, data transformation and infrastructure. Certain other technologies that greatly improve workflow and iterative development times will also be explored, such as asset hot-swapping for art and data assets, tweaker systems and budgeting systems.
Learning Objectives
- Create or improve studio content-authoring tools that will support an efficient production process.
- Gain knowledge into Build, Test & Ship infrastructures that will support a medium-to-large-sized team.
- Discover how to manage and organize large numbers of game assets.
