Environment Art Mastery - Deep Dive

Notice: Some information regarding the tiers in this video is outdated. The "Beginner version" was upgraded to the "Standard version", with the entire course material, minus the Spanish Town specific videos (such as texturing breakdowns, etc...).

In this mega tutorial, I draw from years of games industry experience designing 3D levels (both as a level designer and environment artist) to create an easy-to-follow course that will guide you through creating your own 3D environment in Unreal Engine.

I will show you how to come up with your own original ideas, use simple level design tools to create powerful level design blockouts, and then finalize by 3d modeling art assets, creating modular kits, creating stylized textures in substance designer and Photoshop, and using a physical lighting workflow to make realistic game lighting.

This course is over 52hr long, and packed with content on level design, 3d environment art, stylized texturing, creating your own art pipeline, being creative, using unreal engine efficiently, 3d modeling in Maya (though you are totally good if you are a Blender user), modular environment design, overcoming challenges, and much more.

Also included is an optimization guide with high-end desktop VR in mind. Throughout the course, I show you how to design the space with VR performance in mind and, in the end, optimize the environment to get high-fidelity graphics using the deferred rendering pipeline while getting fast framerates on the Valve Index/Oculus Rift.

Included with the Master edition is also support and group mentorship! This is probably the most valuable product since this group mentorship was based on a very successful 3d art mentorship I ran previously. This is the most affordable mentorship plan you can find on the market, and all you have to do is follow the content, challenge yourself, and I will be there to support you when you need it.

Awesome. Congratulations on finishing the course brother, i know you worked hard on this for years.
I imagine myself as a kid and having access to this kind of information, getting started would have been so much smoother and faster.
Don't take this kind of information for granted guys!
Cheers 💪

I’m a southern Spaniard, born and bred in a town very similar to this one. I’m also an aspiring artist, and to see this tutorial being about a town as beautiful and ugly as mine makes me so happy. Thank you ❤

MAN I WAS WAITING FOR 1 YEAR !! thanks great to have you back

[portugues]

I have a Rtx Nvidia 3060 can I follow the course using this?

[Renji_Abarai]

I LOVE your work and have always admired the Overwatch maps, often just looking at all the minor details and stylisation! I'm really looking forward to learning from you when I finish my other online tutorials! Yours seems like the best online tute purchase yet and a true inspiration to where I want to be as an environment artist! Just want to appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this out and teach others like me the best way possible <3

Can I use blender for this course instead of maya?

[nemsix]

I can't wait. I'm so hyped !

[mus_cetiner]

Effing awesome. Congrats on getting this done. I will have to get this to support you. 😊

Hi Thiago, I have some questions for you about the Master Edition.
1. Could I work on my own project? I mean, could I design my own level with my own assets and share it with you for your feedback, or will I have to work in a Spanish city similar to yours?
2. How long will we be able to attend the monthly calls? I don't know if there is a time limit to develop the project in order to receive your feedback.

Thank you very much for your time and for sharing your valuable knowledge with us😁

comprehensive trailer! wondering how detailed the actual course is!!! GJ

[juriga]

Such an awesome looking tutorial, had my eye on this one for a while and ended up getting the beginner edition for now but I'm definitely eyeing the advanced edition already

[Evolution]

Looks like a great bioshock-level environment.😃😃

[amerboss]

i found more use in your tutorial than any traditional education system would have.

[errick]

Wow seems to good to be true, thats great!

[林时-qv]

Very good, we need Chinese subtitles, even if it is machine translated.

[TQHAJSHNQ]

Is the course in UE5 or UE4? It seems to jump between versions in this video.

[TQHAJSHNQ]

Has the price doubled? In the video you say it's 25 dollars, but its now 40 dollars on gumroad :/ I'm afraid I can't afford it at that price. It looks like a great course though :)

[kraney]

This looks neat! But one question tho, does the standard version of the course includes the asset making section?

I've bought an environment course before, and they're a bit over reliant on using 3rd party assets for their environments, and made the course less of a environment making course because you only learn how to assemble premade assets plus bare-basic lighting and composition theory.

And there's nothing wrong in using someone else's assets, it's just that when you're working in an industry, you're bound to have to create an asset of your own, unique to the project your clients ask you to make, in which you cannot found a premade asset of it anywhere on the web.

I know its a drawn out question but just want to make sure.

Hello, Thiago, thank you for this big work!
I have one question, in Advanced Edition, will i get access to your Spanish Town source files and timelapses?
In video i see, that it's included only in Master Edition, but in gumroad page it's also included in Advanced Edition, what what should I believe? :)

[renealbrechtsen]

Will I be able to follow along just using Blender ?
