The Modern Environment Workflow
Build full, game-ready 3D environments with AI. From a single concept to a lit, optimized scene.
I’m still building this one. Leave your email and I’ll let you know the moment it’s ready.

Concept & Reference
Generate and curate art direction with AI image tools. Lock a clear visual target before you touch 3D.
Block-out & Composition
Build a greybox layout that reads well from every angle. Establish scale, flow, and focal points.
AI Mesh Generation
Turn concepts into base meshes for hero props and architecture using AI 3D generators.
Modular Kit Building
Convert AI output into a clean, snap-together modular kit. This is the backbone of any reusable environment.
Set Dressing
Populate your scene with props, scatter, and vegetation to make it feel lived-in and believable.
UVs & Texel Density
Lay out UVs and balance texel density across the whole scene so nothing looks blurry up close.
Texturing & Trim Sheets
Build efficient PBR materials and trim sheets that cover a large environment with few textures.
Optimization & LODs
Cut draw calls, set up LODs, and make the scene run on real hardware. This is the tech-art part most courses skip.
Lighting, Render & Export
Light the scene for mood, set up real-time rendering, and export a portfolio-ready beauty shot.
