Environment Creation & The Future of Game Development

Join us on Thursday, April 21st as we welcome environment texture artist Peyton Varney to the Gnomon stream! As an accomplished artist in the game industry, Peyton has worked on The Last of Us Part II and Marvel's Spider-Man. He is currently working at AAA game studio Naughty Dog and shares his passion and environment art expertise through tutorials with The Gnomon Workshop.
