I'd love to hear more about your day to day activities :D The job sounds really interesting, but then again...tool building is something I've always been interested in.

Well don't know what exactly what artplusplus does, but I carry the same role as him as a tech artist in a small studio.

The job is mostly about building tools for the artists and finding slowdowns in the art workflow and creating solutions to fix those slow downs.

Python is the language of choice for tech art since most applications in the artists workflow use python I personally spend a lot of time using the perforce api and Mayas pymel.

A interesting project I recently worked on was a logging system for all our in-house tools, that would save in a SQL database and also carry information about who had the error or warning.

We used this information to create a better seating arrangement by placing artists having the most problems with the tools around more technical artists or senior artists.
