Gamedev CG Meetup – Winter 2025
Winter is coming… Which means a time for the last event of the year!
Let’s gather for Gamedev CG Meetup – Winter 2025 on December 11 at a spacious hall of the Faculty of Creative Industries at VILNIUS TECH university.
A meetup is dedicated to computer graphics and digital art in games and other creative industries.

The first speaker of the event – Ričardas Matačius.
VILNIUS TECH, Faculty of Creative Industries lecturer, TV Commercial, Music Video, Film Director and Editor. Certified Virtual Production visual supervisor.
Ričardas will talk about using virtual production technology for creative projects. Throughout the stages of cinema’s development, technology has kept pace with new forms of cinematic expression.
Today, film production technology has reached its highest level, where virtual reality, game technologies, and cinematic creative processes merge. Creative expression was most often limited by financial, time, and resource constraints; however, with the use of Virtual Production technology, even the most complex processes become within reach.

The second speaker is Viktorija Jagelavičiūtė.
She is a 2D illustrator with experience on AAA titles such as Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2, as well as multiple smaller projects.
Starting her career in the gaming industry in her early twenties, she learned directly from industry veterans at Goodname who shared their experience, advice, and perspectives on succeeding as an artist.
In her talk, she will share the key lessons learned – covering artistic growth, essential qualities for artists, professional workflows, adaptability across different project types, and the crucial role of teamwork.
