Mentorship Info
In this month long Mentorship, the artist will be mentored on how to approach game-ready World Building in an organized and technically efficient manner all while developing your eye for quality.
As a mentee, you'll be guided through anything related to the creation of environments using AAA game art workflows. Depending on your skill level and goals, we can go through the whole creation process: gathering reference, blocking out the environment, modeling, UV'ing, using modular workflows, leveraging composition, set dressing and finally, tuning shaders and lighting to make your art sing.
At the end of the Mentorship, the artist will have developed their eye for detail and explored game art workflows used by current AAA artists to create breathtaking environments. Using Marmoset Toolbag and Unreal Engine 4, you will learn how to take your environments and create eye catching renders and presentation layouts to make your work standout on ArtStation, social media and ultimately, the job market.
