This is very much the case in the web dev industry too. It's a meme that they want you to have 5 years of experience in a technology that has been out for 3.
It's more of "who you know" in the industry that will let you get the position. My current job demanded some heavy requirements, but I knew my current boss and he had prior experience with me
Technical Artist (definition): An experienced nerdy geek with good communication skills and no work/ life balance. Companies overshoot requirements, but gladly settle for half of them, because we’re unicorns :)
yeah. what I found is most companies are looking for a junior position with 5 years of experience on minimum wage. there is a lot of gatekeeping within the industry.
That's exactly what I always think. But they are generally not treated as that. This is clearly a senior position, not a junior or TA normal job. But later on you read what's your job gonna be in the company and any of those things is needed at all...
Guess they got an art lead and a programmer lead to list stuff they want to hr and the hr just threw everything in as requirements. Also they might get a shit ton of applications so they might want to discourage a majority of people to apply.
Yep well. You're right. I was simplifying it in general. They're similar, but I forget about the new stuff, I keep working on very old versions of unity due to long time projects... Still hooked up to 2018. Ha ha
Yea...I was hearing CG for the first time here...Well I'm a complete noob, guess that's why. However, I know unity uses HLSL. Never saw anyone mention about CG anywhere.
Thank you for this vídeo. I'm studying Computer Science and I want to get into graphic programming in the future. Recently I've been searching for the requirements to work in the field and I got really lost and frustrated when trying to understand what a Tech Artist do, as I come from an artistic background, and TA is one of my main options for the future
Being a TA is not "just" being an artist or a programmer. It's being pretty flexible in both worlds, but you don't have to be a senior on both, at all. You just have to understand how graphics work in general, try to go deep into that, there's a bunch of books I'd recommend, the best one would be Real Time Rendering (but it's maybe too technical) and then be able to make art yourself (understand everything in the engine about graphics and art) but you don't have to be an expert artist either.
And then, they won't hire you because you're a "jack of all trades"; I mean, what's even the salary for such a rare pearl ? People like that don't want to be employees, they work on their own projects... Interesting video !
I have this exact problem right now. Was an artist, decided to go back to school for CS, then gets told my resume is "too broad". I honestly don't think people know how difficult it is to be good in two domains. In the end I will just work on my own project.
That's a Whishlist... Just apply and you'll see they are happy that you know what half of this stuff even is... HR in my company also always creates these monsters from my 'suggestions' and in the end I hire 90% for attitude...

Well, I don't understand why there are 3D artist positions that ask for deep technical artist skills, and technical artist to be an orchestra of technical artist, vfx and all that stuff. At the end, if you are so skilled you end up being able to create your own company. So, itself this company worth gets to the opposite situation, a superskilled TA who just need to hire a team of marketing pople.
Lidia, coult you please write a list what a Technical Artist really does at work, I'd really appreciate that, because I wanna find a job and everything differs depending on a company
Well. A TA is a link between hardcore programmers and artists. But still, It is not clear, although there are things that are absolutely clear. These are things that you could be doing: - Writing shaders (with code) or maybe creating them using node based softwares. This requires mathematics skills and other technical knowledge. - Writing tools that artists will work with, making their workflow faster. That means creating new tools as well as modifying the existing ones inside the engine or tools that work standalone for automating tasks. - Deciding and creating a naming convention and workflow of assets, and how they are named and stored. - Supporting artists with software bugs and such. So you have to be a programmer but work with artists and helping them or being responsible for creating tools that are very related to art and need an artistic eye.

It seriously depends on your self studying capabilities. If you're serious with that, have patience, you can do it. BUT, you have to learn by yourself which is possible but slow. I suggest BUYING a programming course in Udemy or such, otherwise it can take millenia to learn. You can do it, of course... but will you keep doing it for a while? that's up to you!

If you have never done any programming, it will take some months. I've thought people with 4 hours class a week and in 4 months they were doing pretty good things in Maya. Thankfully in unity you have great tutorials and help in several websites. If you take it very seriously, in 4 months you can be doing stuff. In Maya it takes less because it is a scripting language...c# on the other hand... That's a bit more difficult. But you can manage with all the resources.

My advice is simple: Start with something useful, be it Maya scripting or Unity (second is easier, but the language is much more complicated). And you'll get better and better. The first stuff you do will be all wrong, slow, you'll be blocked. You won't have all the tools.

@@DesMonDLee24 Oh, yes. You can definitely use scripting (not unity), in Maya or whichever software you want to create your own models procedurally and automate tasks.

This is a bad recruiter who's trying to find anyone with any of these skills by hooking search terms, and who thought a few nice to haves were all requirements
Nobody is expected to have all of these skills
It was sent by a company not an agency, so maybe it's not even a recruiter.

Yeah. I'm not native to english. Hard enough to think in english and talk at the same time. But yeah, that's what the speedup options are for :-)
