Mood board -> Unreal Engine 5 -> Photoshop

For The Workshop Academy’s Ideation Workshop, Mahreen Fatima (@Kuroudee) from Blizzard Entertainment demonstrated how UE5 can be integrated into the concept art pipeline.

Starting from ideation, the scene was built in UE, then refined through render passes and compositing in Photoshop.

A practical example of how real-time tools are reshaping environment and concept workflows.

World Building Mentor Spotlight 🌎

On Halo Infinite’s Campaign, Mahreen Fatima (@Kuroudee) worked as a World Artist shaping large-scale organic environments from pre-alpha through final release.

Same environment. Different lighting.💡

Both slides use the FAB Scans Factory “Urban Abandoned District” pack as the base materials and geometry. The only change is lighting.

Our mentor @bentkowski_t relit the scene using a simple HDRI backdrop and slight directional light for specular control, completely transforming mood, depth, and realism.

This shows the power of lighting in environment art — it doesn’t matter how strong your scene is if the lighting doesn’t support it. 💪

Step into a world where power and ambition come at a price. 💼💀

The “Cost of Greed” by SkillTree mentee Hadi Al-Jurdi captures the dark allure of the 1920s mafia underworld. Every prop, texture, and light was crafted by Hadi, bringing the story to life with atmosphere and detail.

With mentorship from Billy Matjiunis, Hadi sharpened his texturing and technical skills using high to low poly workflows, RGB masking, and vertex painting.
