Another 5% is types of 3D simulations: real-time and non-real-time rendering, physics simulations, VFX and 3D art engines/tools, games development. I work in games and I haven't touched a database in well over a year. There's an insane amount of depth to the field and I'm always elbows-deep in interesting problems that often require creative solutions. When the way specifications work changes from "we need to be able to enter this table of data" to "we need to support 10,000 animated fish in a scene" or "blending logic, physics ragdolls, and hand-crafted animations on dying demons." Even [optimizing games can require framing very specific problems based on the context of the game.]
