Environment Art Mastery: Year One Review, Showcase and Lessons Learned!

You can become a complete environment artist by learning the entire workflow of 3D level art creation!

One year ago I released Environment Art Mastery, a complete guide to environment art. In this video, I review the previous year and demonstrate the results achieved by members of all skill levels and walks of life. What these works all have in common is variety: each of these talented individuals came up with an idea for an environment and following the steps outlined in the course, created their own 3D worlds.

I had the honor of observing and mentoring several of the members, learning quite a lot in the process. In them, I identified five qualities (or character traits) to master to become a world-class environment artist. I then chose five members who demonstrated one of these aspects clearly, for illustration. They are by no means the only members who did so. The group is composed of many talented and passionate artists. These are just examples that I picked so we can all learn.

My intention with this video is to show how anyone can make amazing environments, shortening the path to get to a high level by avoiding common mistakes and developing their own process for creating environments. First, you follow my program once, then you can mix and match and adapt depending on the situation, being able to tackle 3D level art challenges fearlessly.

Disclaimer: The vast majority of users showcased here already had knowledge of common 3D environment art tools, for example, Unreal Engine, Substance Designer, Substance Painter, Autodesk Maya, 3D studio max, Blender, Adobe Photoshop, Quixel Mixer, or Unity Engine, to name a few. If you are not familiar with at least one or two (ideally three) of those software, then this tutorial is NOT for you! Better to start with free tutorials on Youtube just to get the hang of it.

This course is for those who CAN already make simple 3D scenes, 3D models, props, or small art level art corners, but who struggle to create 3D environments from scratch, by themselves, without following a concept art piece. This course is also for professionals who already dominate environment art, but who want to refine their workflow and be able to work much faster and efficiently, by having a fool-proof method to fall back to when in roadblocks, or by being able to make much more complex scenes by simplifying and avoiding common environment art creation problems.

I dedicate this course to all the teachers and co-workers that I had (and have) in life, who not only taught me valuable lessons for free, but who also encouraged me, gave constructive feedback, or kicked my ass when I needed :p and also to my family, without whom I wouldn’t be who I am, and most especially to my (soon-to-be) wife, who not only shares the most precious moments of life with me but also whose support and love made it much easier to execute this ❤️ I love you kuti kuti 😘

I wish you all the best in your environment art journey… May you make amazing environments that will open the doors to realize your dreams!
