Testimonials
Best tutorial course I've ever done, there's plenty of content out there covering a few techniques in isolation, but very few cover such large-scale projects as this one. It's a grind to get through but there's no replacement for such an in-depth overview of the workflow and thought process behind large portfolio-worthy projects.
Brilliant tutorial, Emiel is an incredible teacher who is able to inform you of not only what to do but why you are doing it, and he never stops repeating those important steps so it really gets stuck in your brain.
If You are into Environment Art, this is a must have. Superdetailed, with all the resources You need. One of the best tutorial packages You can find on Artstation.
Great Detailed explanation of every Workflow, learned new technics. Explained everything in a very simple way. And also " Sense of Humor of the Teacher" is the cherry on top of this course. Would definitely recommend it, even I am looking to get another one from FastTrack Tutorials.
It`s been a long way for me as a Environment Artist job dreamer - studing maya and other soft like ZBrush, Substance Painter etc. But concern UE there was no idea where to start from. This tutorial is definetely worth your attention! Despite funny price it`s more like deep Environmetn Art begginer`s course teaching you basic of modeling, composing, lighting, materials creation and why it so important to follow soft updates. Don`t miss it up!
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*
Update:
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
This game art tutorial is perfect for students who have some familiarity with a 3d Modeling tool like Maya, Substance Designer/Painter, Zbrush, and Unreal Engine – Everything in this tutorial will be explained in detail. However, if you have never touched any modeling or texturing tools before we recommend that you first watch an introduction tutorial of those programs (you can find many of these for free on YouTube or paid on this very website)
