Course spotlight: Built Environments

Projects from Associate Professor Gary Jacobs' spring 2026 Built Environments class, consisting of third- and fourth-year 3D digital design majors with specialized interests in environment art. The course covers modeling techniques useful in developing environments, both interior and exterior. It covers proportions appropriate to a variety of environments, lighting for spaces, surface design to replicate real-world materials, and building to an appropriate level of detail for the circumstance.
