3D ENVIRONMENT ART & LEVEL DESIGN
Building playable worlds from blockout to final implementation.
I create modular environments, architecture, terrain, props, materials, and gameplay spaces through 3D modeling, sculpting, UV development, PBR texturing, level design, lighting, optimization, and real time implementation.

Underwater Transit Environment
Modular Environment Art & Level Design
A real time underwater transportation environment developed through modular modeling, spatial blockout, architectural planning, material production, optimization, lighting, and Unity implementation.
PROJECT CONTRIBUTION
What I Built
Environment Modeling
Modular architectural components, structural pieces, props, and environment assemblies.
Level Design
Player routes, spatial organization, circulation, landmarks, and gameplay scale.
Materials
UV development, PBR texture production, reusable materials, and surface variation.
Implementation
Unity assembly, collision, lighting, environment setup, and optimization.
01 / FINAL WORK
Final Environment
The completed environment is presented first. The sections below break down how the scene was constructed and implemented.
02 / DESIGN INTENT
Reference & Direction
Design Goal
Establish a readable underwater transit environment that combines transportation, pedestrian circulation, structural repetition, panoramic visibility, and believable player scale.
Environment Requirements
- Two train tracks
- Pedestrian walkway
- Bike path
- Maintenance access
- Panoramic underwater visibility
- Modular expansion capability
03 / LEVEL DEVELOPMENT
Blockout & Player Scale
Questions Tested
- Is the tunnel readable at player scale?
- Are pedestrian and rail routes distinct?
- Can players understand major destinations?
- Are structural modules repeatable?
- Does the space support later expansion?
