Speakers include CD Projekt RED senior environment artist Mark Foreman, Visceral Games senior material artist Ben Nadler and Treyarch weapon artist Ethan Hiley.
In addition, Insomniac Games character artist Henrique Naspoli will be revealing how he textured a detailed character based on Sonya Blade from the Mortal Kombat series of games, created as a personal project.

The keynote is free to attend, and will be broadcast worldwide on Gnomon’s Livestream channel, as will the following day’s artist presentations.
Each lasts 40 minutes, and explores practical techniques for using Substance Painter and Substance Designer in game development, visual effects and architectual visualisation.
Highlights include tips for speeding up your workflow from Cliff Schonewill, senior environment artist at Sony Santa Monica, and a chance to see The Mill’s Sharlene Lin break down the materials from her VFX projects.
To attend the free presentations in person, you will need to register online in advance, but you don’t need to register to watch the Livestream.
