Transform Your Career in 14 Weeks

The Environment Art Bootcamp is built to help aspiring and professional environment artists create polished, studio-quality scenes that stand out on ArtStation and in portfolios.

Most tutorials focus on isolated tricks, but they rarely teach you how to scope, unify, and finish an environment like a AAA artist.

This bootcamp gives you the structure, accountability, and expert guidance to finally cross that finish line with a portfolio piece that shows job-ready craft and taste.

This hands-on, project-based bootcamp is perfect for:

• Aspiring junior/mid-level environment artists
• Technical artists crossing into environment art
• Advanced students who want to level up and create a flagship portfolio piece

During the bootcamp, you will learn to...

• Scope and plan a production-ready environment using AAA workflows
• Create and optimize game-ready assets in Unreal Engine 5, Maya, and Substance Designer/Painter
• Work with references and structure your project for success
• Develop a unified scene with consistent lighting, materials, and composition
• Present your work through breakdowns and a cinematic showcase
• Complete a professional capstone environment with direct feedback from an art director (Jacob Claussen)
• Refine your portfolio for recruiters and studios

What’s included:

• 14 weeks of live training
• 28 live 1+ hour sessions with Jacob Claussen (Mondays & Wednesdays at 12 PM Pacific Time)
• Private course Mighty Network group for peer & instructor support
• All live session recordings available for download
• Full-time technical support
• Certificate of completion
• 15-day money-back guarantee
