Creating the environment for Outland 17 has been a fun experience. Though the production of the game has made life quite busy, I have enjoyed every second of it. Working into the wee hours and burning the midnight oil is what every environment artist anticipates. The hard work that everyone on Grenade Tree Games has put in…

If you're just starting out, I'd say 100% go off someone else's design. If you're still learning how to make 3D, also creating your own design is just going to slow you down.

However, I'm pretty sure that there are plenty of artists out there that just starting their careers and don't have any earnings yet, because they're learning and work on their portfolios to get their first job. Additional thing to keep in mind that in developing countries even…
Hello, been a bit since the last post. The days are turning into: day 1 = learning/research, day 2 = execution. I like to post with progress. @BeardyDan Thanks for the suggestions. I went ahead and added more edges on the door, added a indentation for the handle, and made my own cube map. I will definitely look into the…
Thanks for your responses. It really gave me some valuable input. It's interesting that most of you favored designs that I wasn't satisfied with. But it shows how different things can be judged. So your responses made it even harder for me to decide what to go for. As most were not in favor of the one I was about to pick.…
