Check out our Games VFX student projects for Search For A Star & Rising Star 2023! Realtime VFX for games is an area that’s in huge demand across the industry, though it’s still an area that most universities don’t provide any specialisation in.

Since we first launched the Games VFX challenge in 2017, it’s been a struggle to get a large number of entrants. VFX for games isn’t something that most universities cover and there’s only a few that really go into any detail on games-specific VFX. As a result, it’s also one of the few areas where […]
