Why Learn Environment Art?
The video game industry is one of the fastest-growing fields in the world—outpacing even the music and film industries combined.
As games become more visually advanced, the demand for skilled Environment Artists continues to grow. These artists create the worlds players explore, shaping everything from realistic landscapes to immersive, cinematic scenes.
Environment Artists work with tools like Unreal Engine, Maya, Substance Designer/Painter, and more to block out, model, texture, light, and present professional-quality environments.
Career paths can include roles like Environment Artist, Level Artist, World Builder, Vegetation Artist, and Art Director, with opportunities at both indie studios and AAA companies.
By mastering these skills, you’ll be able to push your environments to a professional standard, build portfolio pieces that stand out to recruiters, and position yourself for new job opportunities, promotions, or higher pay.
Take Your Art from Good to AAA-Quality!
