Environment Modelers build the worlds (both indoor and outdoor) in-game and are responsible for building the geometry of 3D spaces and components, especially organic and inorganic environments. This artist plays an extremely important role in making the game. It's usually their art that gets the initial "WOW" when a gamer first enters the game world. Some of these artists are very technical and create very lifelike photorealistic worlds, while others create amazing new fantasy worlds. Indeed, some Environment Modelers combine the two, using real-world art and tweaking it to look like a more stylized environment. World/Environment Modelers may construct physical form studies or physical models as necessary. These models may be built based on art from concept drawings and/or photographs that are efficient and to correct scale.
