The Latest Game Design Trends for 2021
Introduction The reality of the gaming industry is this: by the end of 2020 console games were
expected to grow to nearly $45 billion dollars with PC games generating $37 billion dollars, and finally mobile gaming, which is at the top will generate $77 billion dollars. With this much growth and billions of gamers that consume the product, companies now have to redirect their attention to providing stellar game UI/UX solutions while acknowledging and providing top game art services.
Today, 2D art developers and 3D art developers have tools that are superior to create
popular games. Software for 2d/3d Design and Development are now those that are industry standard. In fact, tools for hobbyists/professionals that would be ideal are:
Maya Industrial Strength 3dmodeling software" that is powerful, has a comprehensive toolset and is the crème de la crème in industry standard. The downside is that Maya has a sharp learning curve and is over $1,000 dollars as a subscription base. It is used with Windows 7 and 10, MacOs, and Linux.
Houdini is a close second to Maya and is used in today’s move and television VFX. It is extremely expensive at over $4,000 dollars but there is a free learning edition and it works for Windows 8SP1 and above, as well as Linux and MacOs.
Autodesk 3ds Max is touted as the “best 3d modeling software for Windows users. It is easier to learn, has a robust toolset and fluid simulations(i.e. Hair, fur, skin, etc.) It costs at least $1,620.00/yr and is worth it for those looking to meet industry standards without the very steep learning curve of other software.
Free Software Free software that is available and are just as robust for 3D Modeling and Animation are: Blender Keyshot Sketchup Autodesk Synfig Tubitub- mainly for younger children animations Classic Adobe Flash
Game Art Design According to Gameshift, game art design Services have come a long way. Technology has allowed for “3D modeling suites, tools for creating pixel art, and raster image editors" plus more.
