SUMMARY:GameDev CG Meetup – Summer 2025
DESCRIPTION:Summer is here\, which means it’s time for one more CG meetup! On this occasion\, June 5th\, we’re inviting you to a very unusual location – a theater hall in the middle of Vilnius\, located in the brutalist building of „Lietuvos kooperatyvų sąjunga” 🙂 \nOur first guest is Martyna Kašinskaitė. She is an artist and illustrator specializing in character and environment design for animation and video games. Martyna will share her personal journey of what it means to be a drawing artist today. Through her own experience\, she’ll reflect on whether being an artist is a constant existential crisis. As a second-generation artist and daughter of a drawing teacher\, she’ll explore how that legacy shaped her path and creative choices.\nThe lecture will be in Lithuanian. \nOur second guest is Modestas Jankauskas. He is a generalist visual artist with 10 years of work experience in the games industry. Starting off as a 2D illustrator/ animator\, concept artist and pivoting to 3D eventually\, he found himself as an art director at studio „Nieko”. In his talk\, Modestas will give some personal advice about what skills he has found to be key in digital art\, but are often overlooked or underestimated. \nOur final guest is Alexandre Podgorny. He is a creative director and co-founder at Asterman\, a digital production company based in Vilnius. With a background in motion design and interactive experiences\, Alexandre leads multidisciplinary teams working on cutting-edge CG and AR projects for international clients. His talk will explore collaboration models between studios across borders and how to align creative freedom with production efficiency. \nAfter the talks\, we’ll traditionally celebrate the birthday of the Lithuanian Game Developers Association! Cakes and drinks ordered 🎂 \nThank you for the event support to Asterman and the Lithuanian Council for Culture! \nPlease register your ticket on Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Video game exhibition at MO Museum
