Portfolio Tips by Discipline

VFX Artists

Show real-time VFX breakdowns with emphasis on gameplay clarity and cinematic quality. 2K titles span realistic crime drama (Mafia, GTA-adjacent) through turn-based strategy. Show breadth across atmospheric, combat, and UI FX. Niagara proficiency expected for Unreal Engine roles.

Technical Artists

Show shader graphs, tool scripts, and performance optimisation work. 2K studios span Unreal Engine and proprietary tech. Demonstrating pipeline flexibility and experience with both large open-world and grid-based strategy environments is a strong advantage at Hangar 13 and Firaxis respectively.

Character Artists

Show photorealistic human characters with strong facial anatomy and cloth simulation. 2K's realistic sports and crime titles have extremely high fidelity bars. Include breakdown sheets showing scan-based vs sculpted workflows. NBA 2K sets the industry benchmark for character fidelity in sports games.

Animators

Show full-body and facial animation with gameplay context. Visual Concepts and 2K Sports Lab have extremely high motion quality bars. Show both in-engine and offline cinematic animation. Motion capture cleanup and locomotion system knowledge are valued across all 2K studios.
