@@softty3018 it's not a simple answer. everyone take different time learning different type of concepts and even after joining a studio you are still learning every day even as a professional. And I'm a hard surface/weapons artist but I also did a lot of moduler assets and personally thats the hardest part to learn cause you have to think out of the box and also you have to think about optimization and reducing draw calls
As a game design student, I can't thanks you enough for this series of video. I've been playing Lol for years and your team always inspired me a lot. Good job :)
As a Computer Science major and someone who has been playing league since middle school. This series is super cool. Seeing how things come together in the aspect as a team and all the work that goes into making a game is amazing. Next semester I'm actually taking game design. Super cool videos rito. Do more of these.
@@ilovesalmon215 holy shit I forgot about this. Game design was cool. I took so many different types of classes but I ended up steering towards Cyber Security. Video games are really interesting but the industry is tough to work in. I'd most likely work for an Indie company if I was to pursue that path. As for work right now, I'm a contractor for the IRS as a Security Analyst. And it's pretty fun not gonna lie even tho it's government work. Who knows though, I might do Network Security for a gaming company in the future for a little bit.
I am studying a career of artistic creation of videogames and I love it, but I don't know what to dedicate myself to yet. These explanatory videos are helping me a lot to discover what I'm passionate about. Thx riot
I looove these series, I just discovered this and I'm striving to be a better concept artist, but I studied 3D animation (and modelling, rigging, texturing, etc). But now I settled with my tablet and Photoshop.
This video is so well structured! Currently working on my bachelor project in Game Art/Animation where I'm creating a modular environment, and this has really helped me collecting some information about environment in general which I can use for my written part of the project. This is truly awesome, thank you so much, Riot Games! x
awesome video, I am really enjoying the series so far. I have been working as an environment artist for the last 11+ years or so and this is spot on :)
Hey im a refreshing pool of water, There's no danger here.... OR IS THERE? im literally dying of laughing. Oh gosh ty guys its an amazing series! Absolutely lovely and informative pls do more!!
those videos are so good even if you are a random boy like me who never ever tought of begin an artist and dont know nothing about this world sooo interesting 😍😍😍
Thanks alot for the vids，I watched it over and over again ，and still learning new things as I entered a new phase of learning。Im currently self learning at home ，have a decent understanding in blender。Picking up zbrush and substance painter in the process。I think I will continue on unreal next。Hope that I will enter the game industry in the future，dreaming to work for riot someday。
Thank you for the series. It really help us to gain more knowledge and understand the different art fields in game industry. Also, im just wondering riot if the download link on your website in environment art has a resources? Because the character art section has resources.
5:32 i know i was gonna get jump-scared, i know the light is a distraction, i know it was on the right but i was suprised, cz i thought it gonna come out of the turn BUT it was the wall instead damn it
These are great intros to artwork careers for students👍. I wonder though, they're saying environment tells a story, but which games with rich environments did Riot work with? Aren't all their games have tiny maps, like 3 maps existed in LoL for 12 years, and there was not much in there (also they're pretty generic and I never felt "oh wow I feel it tells a story, this summoners rift\ARAM map!"), So which games these guys refer to? Ones they worked with before joining Riot or what?
I just realized the artists have their Cintiq's standing up at complete 90 degree angles in the backgrounds.. I can't imagine anybody actually working on it at that angle... do they?? Is that the secret!?!?
Not sure if this is the place to ask, but I am about to graduate college with a Landscape Architecture degree. I really want to get into 3D environment art for video games, but it's not the traditional path for my major at all, so I'm having a really hard time learning how to get there. I'm making a second portfolio, learning Python and teaching myself Unity. Do you have to be an art major or game development major to get into this career?
2 years too late but I'm just gonna say this. While a moderate portion of people do have some form of degree, i feel like landscape architecture would be considered relevant. The portfolio and experience you have is much more important in the end. If you haven't already, learn a 3D Modelling program like Blender or 3DS Max
Im gonna be honest, i (still sometimes play, but..) fckin HATE league after 10 years of playing reigiously. BUT! Your Videotorials, Project L, Arcane, i respect you people working at RITO :D
Please don't stop making these videos, I learn so much from them.
We have two more coming for a full ten part series - so glad you are enjoying them :)
Me too
Shounen Mason Same I really want to work for them someday
i guess I am quite randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to stream new movies online?
As a professional Environment Artist in games, I give this video two modular thumbs up.
So curious how long you learn this environment artist and what's most difficult part of it??
Still waiting
waiting for eternity i think

Don't forget to generate LODS and lightmaps = (128 will do).
the narrator deserves appreciation for this series as well
"When people give you feedback, you understand the problem, and not the solution they're giving you"
+100
As an indie game dev and student, these videos are invaluable!!! Absolutely love this.
What are you guys making?
As a game design student, I can't thanks you enough for this series of video. I've been playing Lol for years and your team always inspired me a lot. Good job :)
May I ask - are you a game design student, like, at (of, in, from, I dont remember, sorry :)) university or you do kind of self-studying at home?

Riot should start doing a portfolio critique stream for "So You Wanna Make Games??"

I love that Riot have created these videos I am studying and in my 2nd year of uni. Great Content guys!
awesome video, I am really enjoying the series so far. I have been working as an environment artist for the last 11+ years or so and this is spot on :)
Wow, this series is incredibly informative and well made. And all the Riot staff are beautiful people with a strong fashion sense. Gotta up my game!
At last, a very clear video on pipeline and difference between level designers and environment artists.
I'm new to learning game development with Unity and this video is so awesome for inspiration and information!
I really enjoy all the artwork related episodes, thanks so much for sharing expertise with community!
This is one of the most important videos I've seen in my life
Wow this just taught me so much. I am so excited to start my journey as an environment artist in blender!
>When programming keeps stomping you so you retreat to your happy place
Such great series.... thanks again. so inspiring and helpful. It's also well edited, designed. It's fun to watch. Please make more vid like this!
This series is so educational and FUNNY!!! It's kind of a masterpiece in miniature ❤❤❤

I can't stop watching.
Awesome, thanks for this, jumping back into my environment!
Thanks riot for guiding me to be what I really wanted to be!

aw shit Tony Tang works at Riot? Baller. Haven't seen that guy in some years...
Tony Tang is a world class name!
thanks buddy!
@@tontonba But does it really compare to Marcus LUL?
These are amazing
Riot should go deeper than those introduction. I'd pay for a game art MOOC from them.
More videos like these please
Ohhhhh 1:20 Bad example... In this particular Far Cry they started to use procedural generation a lot. To great effect I might add!
Riot, I know you're reading this. You have a ton of talented people, work on some new games!
thank you for this video series
Are we gonna ignore the fact that we got rick rolled at 1:52

BUT! Your Videotorials, Project L, Arcane, i respect you people working at RITO :D
Yeet!

Yeah, reuse is a lot easier in 3D games due to Quaternion rotation. Not so much in 2D..
What programs should an environment artist handle?
3ds max, maya, Houdini, world creator, world machine, substance designer, substance painter, mari, blender , z brush
