ART of Video Games

Learn the ART of Video Games

Creating environment art for video games can be a technical endeavor, but at its core, it’s an art form. Simply pulling assets from an online store, and dropping them into an off-the-shelf game engine isn’t enough in today’s competitive industry.

You need fundamental art skills, and if you want to stand out from the crowd… you need to create your own art and present your skills.

• Create an art brief for your own project.
• Create a Map / Level design.

To create stunning concept art, you need a firm understanding of art fundamentals.

• The Horizon Line.
• 1, 2, and 3 point perspective.
• Light, shadow, and value.
• Color.

Finally, we’ll move into more advanced modeling and UV mapping techniques, and build ALL the components for our scene, using our white box as a guide. We’ll create PBR textures in Substance Painter; export everything from 3DS Max, and drop it into Unity where we’ll build the scene using the assets you have created.
