Learn and master the concepts, the techniques and tools to be a successful Environment and Prop Artist.
The role of the Environment/Prop Artist is to create worlds. They need to tell a story that will immerse the players in a narrative. They do this through designing and creating all types of assets; like castles, all kinds of vehicles, weapons, etc. An Environment/Prop Artist collaborates with other disciplines like level designers, and other artists, and between them they build and refine the 3D content that will define the game aesthetic and make sure the gameplay flows smoothly.
Of all the different software used to create Visual Effects, there is no doubt that Side FX Houdini ranks first. Because of its procedural creation model, its speed and because of the amount of integrated options it provides (particles, clothes, hair, explosions, masses, destructions, etc. Houdini is synonymous with employment, thousands of job offers are published daily because the demand for VFX artists who master Houdini is very large, especially in Top Studios such as Pixar, Disney, ILM, Lucas Films, Weta, etc ...
