If an environment is fairly unique, and/or the project is in preproduction still, I usually start up two different simultaneous efforts. 1- whitebox out the environment, trying to get a good composition and confirming what is needed to fulfill game design etc. 2- make 2-3 small assets to 'final' quality, essentially…
I'm wondering how standardized the division of labor is when it comes to "Environment Art" and "Level Design" across the industry.

The idea of this environment is a crime in progress at a motel at night time and after it has rained to give the scene some…
Hi! Going to try my first environment. I tried to make one before but stopped right on the very beginning. So, after thinking what to do in the art role (I have some hobbyist experience on character art ), I decided to try some environment stuff.
