Introduction to 3D Environment Art Workflows  

Budget 3D Environment Art –Tutorial Course
This course is a bit different then our usual courses. In this course we will give you a brief overview on how 3D Environments are constructed. Showcasing various topics like Asset creation, Material creation, Level art & lighting.

3DS MAX, SUBSTANCE, AND UNREAL ENGINE 5

This course will cover various topics including:

• Explanation on the core elements of 3D Environment Creation.
• Creating 3D assets for environments
• Creating modular 3D assets for environments
• Creating procedural textures
• Level art
• Lighting & Post Effects

The general takeaway of this course is that at the end, you will have general knowledge on how
3D environments are constructed, and you can apply this knowledge to almost any type of environment.

6+ HOURS!
Even as a budget course this course still has 6+ hours of video content.
This course has been divided up into easy-to-understand chapters.

We will start this course off by explaining which workflows are used when creating 3D environments. After this we will continue to showcase how to model and texture a basic 3D asset.

Once that is done we will cover the concept behind modular assets and also create a simple but fully procedural materal.
We will finish things off by creating a small 3D environment using various assets and do the lighting and post effects for this environment.

SKILL LEVEL
This environment art tutorial is considered an beginner/intermediate course. It is not an introduction course meaning we will not cover the basics of any programs. – It is here to explain how 3D environments are constructed along with showcasing examples.

TOOLS USED

• Unreal Engine 5
• 3DS Max (you are able to use other modeling software)
• Marmoset Toolbag 4
• Substance Designer
• Substance Painter

Please note that most techniques used are universal, so they can be replicated in almost any 3D software like Maya & Blender.
