Today we take a look at our Games Animation student projects for Search For A Star & Rising Star 2022!

Games animation, much like Games VFX, doesn’t have as much coverage at university as the core three gamedev subjects, with most courses focusing on animation for film and TV. Being able to create great animation is a huge mix of technical and creative skills, but developing them for use in games is another skillset on top of that!

For their Search For A Star projects, our student animators were asked to create a movement sequence to an industry brief, based around key actions typical of games animation. Everyone is given creative control of the model, rig and narrative, allowing full freedom of expression.

A huge congratulations to everyone who submitted their projects, and well done to everyone who took part!

The Search For A Star challenges are run by Grads In Games with the support of our headline partner Rockstar, and our studio partners at Sumo Digital, d3t, Epic Games, Playtonic, FuturLab, 10:10 Games, Dovetail Games, Red Kite Games, Airship Images, Fireproof Games, Yahaha, Virtex Stadium, Escape Technology & our recruitment partners at Aardvark Swift.
