Behind the Render: Crafting a Story-Driven Environment in UE5

Join us on Friday, August 29th for a special livestream-only event with environment artist Martin Teichmann!

Martin will be doing a deep dive into their personal Unreal Engine 5 project: a photorealistic antique shop scene crafted with storytelling and gameplay at its core.

This session explores how narrative and player interaction can shape artistic choices — from layout and lighting to asset creation and optimization. Through a mix of slides and a live walkthrough of the UE5 project, you'll learn how to elevate a portfolio piece into a compelling, immersive environment that supports both emotional storytelling and gameplay flow.

Don’t miss this behind-the-scenes look at how a self-made environment comes together—blending story, gameplay, and smart use of tools in Unreal Engine 5. It’s a great session for students and artists curious about how personal projects can grow into something thoughtful, polished, and creatively fulfilling.

RSVP today for a reminder link for when we go live on the Gnomon YouTube and Twitch channels!
