Yo man, Thiago, I love how candidly you express yourself. Although our views and philosophies may differ, your candidness just breaks that barrier and I learn a lot from you.

Thanks again :)

Well said! It's rough going through this process alone. Hearing what it's been like for you to learn environment art is inspiring and helps clear the head.

Which software do you use for creating such amazing designs?

Hey Lucy! I use many programs, all for a different purpose:

Unreal Engine: Map editor where I put everything together

Maya: For modeling the geometry

Substance/Photoshop/Zbrush: For creating textures

World machine: To make the terrain in the backdrop

and I'm probably forgetting something :)

In the tutorial which I will be releasing soon, I start from the total beginnings, and give the user a crash course in Unreal, Maya and Substance, so they can start making their own little scenes in just a few hours.
