Large Game Environment Creation - In-Depth Tutorial Course

Learn how a professional environment artist works when creating large environments for games. You’ll learn techniques like Modular Modeling, Procedural Texturing, High to low poly modeling, Sculpting, Composition, Level Art, Lighting – and much more!
*Environment based on the concept art from Luis Medina*


MAYA, SUBSTANCE, AND UNREAL ENGINE 5

All the modeling will be done in Maya, However, the techniques used are universal and can be replicated in any other 3d modeling package. Sculpting will be done using Zbrush and the materials will be created using Substance Designer and previewed in marmoset toolbag 4. The environment will be built in the brand-new Unreal Engine 5 and the lighting will use the new Lumen system. Next to this, we will also use Substance Painter to generate masks.

In this course, you will learn everything you need to know to create the final results that you see in the images and trailers. Next to this, the same techniques can be applied to almost any type of environment.

32.5 HOURS!

This course contains over 32.5 hours of content – You can follow along with every single step – The course does enclose a few small-time lapses, this is just to speed up very repetitive tasks, the rest is done in real-time. However, due to popular requests, we have also included the un-time lapsed footage without audio.

We will start by going over our reference and planning and then continue to create a blockout version of our environment. We will be using modular modeling techniques to create all the pieces and later on take them to final.
We will also be using Zbrush to sculpt more detailed pieces like the pillars. We will set up all these pieces in UE5 and already build our environment. Then we will move on to create our procedural materials.
Once those are done, we will do the UV-Unwrapping of our models and apply our materials.
We will then export everything to UE5, set up our materials and shaders, and get started with the composition, lighting, and general improvement of our environment.
We will leave the course off with general polishing and also adding some megascans statues to push the quality even more.

SKILL LEVEL

Really well thought out tutorial. Helped me to get a grasp of modular modelling. Emiel is a great instructor who clearly has a passion for what he does, as this shows throughout all of his tutorials. I have learnt new techniques and feel a lot more confident in creating environment art. I cant thank you enough and hope that the amazing tutorials continue. I really appreciate Emiel showing us the whole process, including things like Substance Designer and Painter. I had a general knowledge of these programs before, but have always struggled with creating materials for objects. However, the way that Emiel has presented these sections helped me learn a lot, so I feel more comfortable with material creation.

I learned so much from this course, and you will too. Emiel is the best teacher I have found online for this type of work. This course provides everything from broad scope workflow structure to small life-saving tips, especially in Maya, UE5, and substance designer/painter. Incredible value.

Great tutorial series! Artist takes you on a step-by-step process from start to finish and easy to follow along. I've done small 3D projects and characters, but never a full environment. I feel I have gained the necessary tools and short cuts from this tutorial! Definitely recommend!

As a beginner diving into environment art, this mini course makes it super easy for me to follow along and I've learned so much in such a small amount of time. Thank you for making this!
30| Release v.1.0 | Personal License | 8 months ago
This is Badass for a really low amount of money there is an insane amount of valuable info, THANK YOU !
20| Release v.1.0 | Personal License | 8 months ago
A very very very comprehensive course in which every step of the process is discussed and shown. From concept to final. Maybe not every step is specifically interesting for you, but if you want to know more about modeling, creating textures or creating a complete scene in Unreal Engine then I definitely recommend this course. It's certainly long, but all broken up into manageable chunks of about 20 to 30 minutes per chapter. So you can choose which ones apply to you.
20| Release v.1.0 | Personal License | 8 months ago
This course in an excellent introduction to environment creation. I really enjoyed seeing the entire process and watching the final product come together in (mostly) real time, it's very encouraging and inspiring. Although it doesn't produce a fully playable game environment, all the principles and techniques showcased still apply. Overall, this is a great tutorial series. Thank you for producing it :).
20| Release v.1.0 | Personal License | 9 months ago
Great content ! Instructor is very clear and details everything. I would say, this is a must-see when you are trying to become an environment artist. (Plus, this german accent brings a nice fun touch).
