KARAKTER

The Art Department Berlin 2023

Karakter is an award winning studio and agency specialized in designing virtual worlds. Berlin-based company, they create visual designs and offer creative development for entertainment productions. They collaborated on projects like God of War, Game of Thrones, Middle Earth: Shadow of War, Killzone Shadow Fall and Horizon Zero Dawn.

Karakter was founded in 2008. Artists like Mike Hill and Floris Didden played a significant contribution to the growth of the studio and its solid establishment within the visual design industry. Among a series of prizes, the studio also prides itself with three Emmy Awards for Outstanding Visual Effects for their work on Game of Thrones in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

During The Art Department Berlin Karakter will talk about their Blender workflow for quickly and efficiently translating ideas, whether from a client brief or for personal work.

They will discuss the importance of adjustments to the workflow as well covering the must-have add-ons that are currently being used when working on high-end productions.
