Environmental art is the discipline of creating and configuring 3D environments that embody and facilitate gameplay requirements, immerse users within your experience, and provide contextual information about the world itself.

You'll learn how to recreate a high-quality environment for a first-person shooter laser tag experience by following step-by-step processes and best practices for level design, developing assets, and optimization efforts for memory and performance that you can then implement in your own experiences.

This course is intended for readers who are familiar with general building concepts and tools in Roblox Studio. If you need help learning how to build an environment, try the core curriculum.
