Riot Games provides an overview of the role of technical artists in game development, covering rigging, shaders, and pipeline tools.

There are many different specializations within tech art, but at its core, it's about streamlining art creation and implementation. Whether on the tools side of things—building pipelines and custom tooling, or the game content side—rigging characters, or creating shaders, tech art requires keen problem solving skills. Check out this video to learn about some of the common specializations for tech art and why they’re so critical to any development team.

On “Tech artist vs graphics programming”

Tech Art is a good direction if you like both the art and tech side of things. Also, I get the impression that it's very much in-demand, and tricky to find hires for. It's an awfully broad area though! Think about what you want to work on, and make a high quality portfolio to showcase this. E.g. * Rendering / shader / VFX portfolio * Tools (e.g. rigging, ) * Optimization No need to cover this, but being able to show-off that you can cover one or more of these things will help.
