VFX Artists & Layoffs
While this is another month with layoffs in the games industry, upskilling and getting better at your craft, especially as a VFX artist, is the way to go, as there are still plenty of on-site roles for VFX and tech artists to grab.
It looks like Unreal Engine 5 is going to be the preferred skillset to invest in over Unity if you want to land any relevant VFX job in the games industry.
Keep it simple with textures and meshes in Photoshop and the 3D package of your choice, and focus on great art. Houdini seems to be still a unicorn for most game vfx jobs.
