- Environment art: rock formations, cliffs, volcanic vents, obsidian spikes, lava channels, ash fields

- Lighting and atmosphere setup (epic volcanic mood, embers, haze, heat distortion)

- VFX placement: lava glow, smoke, ember particles, thermal vents

- Build key landmarks: volcano crater (~700m), fortress plateau (~400m), solidified lava rivers, sacred brazier sites

- Place custom assets into the scene as they are provided

Qualifications:

- Strong experience with UE5 environment/level art

- Proficiency with UE5 landscape materials and texturing

- Experience building volcanic/fantasy environments

- Comfortable with Nanite, Lumen, and UE5.7 workflows

- Understanding of mythic fantasy art direction (God of War, Elden Ring, WoW style — epic, not grimdark)

DM me with your portfolio or examples of UE5 environment work. Paid freelance commission. Terrain heightmaps already done — this is environment art and level dressing.
