What Software do the Artists at Bungie Use?
What do you Artists at Bungie Use? I'd really be interested to know what software Craig Mullins uses for his artwork also. I'm an Oil painter and I'd like to get myself a digitizing tablet, and some good software.
If anyone knows what software he uses, or is a cg artist themselves, please let me know.
Otherwise, If you artists at Bungie have the time, I'm REALLY interested, and would like to start myself. As said Before I already work with the traditional tools, but I'm looking to get into the Modern art Fulfilment.
Thanks everybody.

[breaths deep] Ahh, im ok now. ::)

Photoshop, 3d Studio (for modeling), and Maya (for animation). I sometimes use ImageReady for animated gifs and slicing images. There are multple sized tablets floating around. The one I have is a Intuos 2. Eddie and Lorraine use them to paint in photoshop (and I really want to learn how! I'm so jealous).

Thanks Guys. Do you guys use a digitizing tablet or mouse? I wanna get a 12 x 14 or so.

No, I'm pretty sure they use 3ds Max for modelling a lot of the time. In interviews and on the bonus Halo 2 disc i'm pretty sure they mention 3ds Max. --RC wonders if Steve will ever stop talking about himself in the third person or that he has taken it upon himself to keep this odd tradition always.

I don't know what Craig uses, but I know that Bungie has used Photoshop for their 2d art. If you're interested in getting into the professional/commercial end of digital art, Photoshop would be the package to look at. -- Steve uses Paint Shop Pro, himself, but that's mainly for web work.

Here is the requirements for a Bungie 3d artist: [quote]Requirements BFA or equivalent experience in game development. Expert 3ds Max and ZBrush modeler. Familiarity with Maya. Expert texture painting capabilities. Ability work with a team. Ability to problem solve within technical definitions.[/quote]

Good question. Besides the art, I'd like to know what program they used for making the 3D models. I know Square Enix used Maya for a few Final Fantasy games. I've tinkered with a few programs, I was just wondering what the pros at bungie use to create stuff like the short film on the map disc.
