So You Wanna Make Games?? | Episode 4: Environment Art

In this video, the environment artists describe the process of actually building an environment-which is a huge amount of work! From planning a layout to modeling literally every tree, rock, building, prop that you see in the world, environment artists must be masters of prioritization and efficiency. They must understand that every decision is a trade off and focus on the things that are most critical to achieving the desired game experience.

@@softty3018 it's not a simple answer. everyone take different time learning different type of concepts and even after joining a studio you are still learning every day even as a professional. And I'm a hard surface/weapons artist but I also did a lot of moduler assets and personally thats the hardest part to learn cause you have to think out of the box and also you have to think about optimization and reducing draw calls

As a Computer Science major and someone who has been playing league since middle school. This series is super cool. Seeing how things come together in the aspect as a team and all the work that goes into making a game is amazing. Next semester I'm actually taking game design. Super cool videos rito. Do more of these.

@Wakkas 2 жыл бұрын

@@ilovesalmon215 holy shit I forgot about this. Game design was cool. I took so many different types of classes but I ended up steering towards Cyber Security. Video games are really interesting but the industry is tough to work in. I'd most likely work for an Indie company if I was to pursue that path. As for work right now, I'm a contractor for the IRS as a Security Analyst. And it's pretty fun not gonna lie even tho it's government work. Who knows though, I might do Network Security for a gaming company in the future for a little bit.

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but I am about to graduate college with a Landscape Architecture degree. I really want to get into 3D environment art for video games, but it's not the traditional path for my major at all, so I'm having a really hard time learning how to get there. I'm making a second portfolio, learning Python and teaching myself Unity. Do you have to be an art major or game development major to get into this career?

@faulty1106 2 жыл бұрын

2 years too late but I'm just gonna say this. While a moderate portion of people do have some form of degree, i feel like landscape architecture would be considered relevant. The portfolio and experience you have is much more important in the end. If you haven't already, learn a 3D Modelling program like Blender or 3DS Max

These are great intros to artwork careers for students👍. I wonder though, they're saying environment tells a story, but which games with rich environments did Riot work with? Aren't all their games have tiny maps, like 3 maps existed in LoL for 12 years, and there was not much in there (also they're pretty generic and I never felt "oh wow I feel it tells a story, this summoners rift\ARAM map!"), So which games these guys refer to? Ones they worked with before joining Riot or what?
