Background artist or modeler. When players find themselves on alien planets, theme parks, football stadiums, or other settings, they have background artists to thank for the view. Background artists, sometimes called modelers, create video game settings. We draw and construct environments to the design team's specifications. Background artists work hand in hand with the level designer to create environments that fit the game.
Background artists begin by making sketches of the background suggested in the design document.
Then, they draft an accurately proportioned version on graph paper. Otherwise, you could make a structure too large or too small for the size of the characters. Once they are satisfied with the drawings, artists mold the environment shape by shape, using the computer as a virtual movie set. A player would be able to walk around furniture and move through the lab in any direction. Then, the artists add fill lights or spotlights to cast pools of brightness and shadow over the environment.
