DESCRIPTION
The stages of environmental design, level design, and interior design development include initial concept art and mood boards to establish the visual direction, followed by detailed 3D modeling and texturing for realistic world-building.
We can work with both ready-made assets and custom-designed elements tailored to each project’s unique needs.
Next, lighting design and atmospheric effects are applied to enhance immersion and player engagement.
Our team then integrates interactive elements and optimizes the scenes for smooth game engine performance.
Finally, extensive playtesting and refinement ensure that each environment, level, and interior delivers a cohesive, visually stunning experience.
