Developing initial concept art that visualizes the overall look, feel, and atmosphere of the 3D environment. This includes sketches, mood boards, and reference images that capture the desired aesthetic and style.

Creating detailed 3D models of various objects, structures, and elements that populate the environment. This includes buildings, props, furniture, vegetation, and other relevant assets that contribute to the realism and coherence of the environment.

Applying textures, materials, and shaders to the 3D models to create realistic surfaces and enhance visual appeal. This includes mapping textures onto objects and defining material properties such as reflectivity, roughness, and transparency.

Designing the lighting setup for the 3D environment to create appropriate moods, emphasize focal points, and enhance the overall atmosphere. This includes the placement of light sources, adjusting intensities, and setting up dynamic lighting effects.

Adding special effects such as fog, rain, smoke, fire, or other atmospheric elements that enhance the realism and ambiance of the environment.

Configuring the camera angles and movements within the 3D environment to create compelling visual narratives or walkthroughs. This includes setting up camera paths, and creating animations if required.

Arranging the 3D models, props, and environmental elements within the scene to create visually balanced and aesthetically pleasing compositions. This involves considering spatial relationships, depth, and focal points.

Producing high-quality rendered images and/or videos of the 3D environment from different angles and perspectives. These serve as the final visual representations of the designed environment.
