What does an environment artist intern do?

An Environment Artist Intern assists in creating 3D environments for video games, films, or other digital media. They typically work on modeling, texturing, lighting, and optimization under the guidance of senior artists. Interns may also research real-world references, collaborate with designers, and learn industry-standard tools like Blender, Maya, or Unreal Engine. This role provides hands-on experience in world-building and prepares interns for a full-time environment artist position.
