Maya & Unity 3D: Modeling Environments for Mobile Games

The Maya & Unity 3D: Modeling Environments for Mobile Games course is a practical, project-based programme designed to teach you how to create game-ready environments for mobile games.

You’ll start by modelling an environment in Maya, building key elements such as terrain and structures. You’ll then learn how to unwrap UVs, apply textures and materials, and add environment details to bring the scene to life. After exporting your assets, you’ll import them into Unity, set up your project, place meshes into a scene, and refine the look using materials, lighting, camera setup, lightmap baking, and final polish effects.

Whether you’re aspiring to become a game artist, 3D designer, or indie developer, this course gives you job-ready skills to create optimised, professional environments for mobile games.
