The challenges
The gaming industry has experienced a surge in popularity and profitability in recent years. As technology advances and gaming platforms diversify, the industry continues to captivate millions of players worldwide. Jeremiah van Oosten, Programming Educational Manager at Breda University of Applied Sciences, says that gamers are really pushing the boundaries of what is possible in games. “They want more pixels, higher refresh rates, more colors and darker darks and whiter whites. So we really need to have the highest technology available to the students in order for them to test their games and to make sure that their game is going to run as well as it can,” says van Oosten. This is why the school needs to ensure they are staying innovative with the equipment they are providing for their future talent.
Creating visual assets
Game development is a very technical process. The school uses the ASUS ProArt Display PA32UCR-K when creating game art, as having a 4K HDR monitor with 1000nits of brightness enhances artist’s workflow and communication across the team in terms of color accuracy. Zoran Arizanovic, one of the teachers in Visual Arts at the Games Department, points out “Traditionally for digital artist, Adobe RGB color space is the main working environment and with this monitor we can reach 99.5% accuracy, which is perfect for us.”

After installing the ASUS ProArt equipment, the games department is now able to have a full workflow with industry leading color accuracy and computing power starting from Visual Arts to all the way developing their games.
Running games in Unreal Engine
In its game labs, BUAS uses the ASUS ProArt Display PA348CGV to test its games. Working in Unreal Engine, it is very important to have a fast and responsive monitor. With a 120Hz refresh rate, the students can profile their games and ensure they will run at the best quality on the end user’s computer. The monitor comes with 98% color space coverage of the DCI-P3 and 400nits of brightness, which means students can test the peak brightness in areas that matter the most.
Rembrandt van Leeuwen, Visual Arts student at Breda University, says he has noticed an improvement in his workflows after using the ASUS ProArt equipment. “I work with characters a lot and I feel that with this screen, with this wide size and high resolution and beautiful colors, I can actually make great concept art for my study.”
BUAS has paired the ProArt displays together with the ALTERNATE workstation powered by the ASUS ProArt Z790 motherboard. Within its degree program, students often need to make game trailers for their games, and for that, they need a high-end workstation. The workstation has cut down students’ rendering time by one-tenth, meaning that now students can run their games at the highest quality and resolutions, allowing them to truly benchmark their games.
The school has also put together the ROG gaming keyboard and mouse to give students the most engaging experience while they're testing their games.
