In the video game industry, what does an environment designer & character designer do in order?

Q. Do they draw an environment & characters first? And then scan it to a computer & then make the video game using a software or what? Lol

Answer
Most concepts start out as drawings and paintings than could be done in traditional media or on the computer. The concept art then goes to various departments to be interpreted and refined as a digital product. Usually a 3d modeler will create a character or environment in the computer using the concept art as a reference.

A character might be sculpted first in clay, and then digitally scanned to create a 3d model.

The 3d model then goes to a rigger who creates the animatable "skeleton" and controls inside the character. This is what the animator uses to move the character.

wanted to play like the latest 3d games like battlefield bad company 2. so which is better?

which would run the game smoother.

a 1.6 ghz processor, with a video card with 1 gb dedicated memory

or a 2.6 ghz procssor, with a video card with 256 mb dedicated memory.

so what im asking really is which would make games run better a faster processor or a video card with lots of memory?

Answer
you dont list the 1gb graphics card. its not just about the ram on the card, there is also stream processors etc. some of the new 256mb ddr5 cards are faster than older 1gb ddr2 cards.

sorry but neither of those above will run battlefield 2.
the processors are too slow.
you need a core 2 duo 2.6ghz as a minimum to run newer games today
also at least 2gb ram.
you need a good balance, fast processor and decent card.
a fast card will be limited by a slow processor and vice versa.

Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows XP
Processor: Core 2 DUO @ 2 GHz
Memory: 2 GB
Hard Drive: 15 GB for Digital Version, 10 GB for Disc Version
Video Memory: 256 MB (NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT/ATI X1900)
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
DirectX: 9.0c


Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows Vista/7

Memory: 2 GB
Hard Drive: 15 GB for Digital Version, 10 GB for Disc Version
Video Memory: 512 MB (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260)
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
DirectX: 10

for smooth gameplay you have to meet the recommended requirements,
the above computers dont even meet the minimum required so the game will not run at all.

you will be severely limited on what games you can play with those computers.
games from 3 years old and older should run fine.

go here to make 100%.your pc can run the game
select a game from dropdown list and scan
http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/srtest/

it scans your pc to see if it can run the game.
always do this before buying a game
if it barely passes the test then the game still might run slowly.
you want it to pass easily
this is also just a guide. you must check the recommended requirements against your pc
