Creating a 3D metro train interior in UE5 — 3D Art Tutorial

This 18-hour course teaches professional environment art techniques by creating a fully detailed metro train interior in Unreal Engine 5. Instructor Emiel Sleegers, a Lead Environment Artist with over 13 years of AAA game industry experience, guides you through the complete pipeline: high-poly modeling in Maya, material creation in Substance Designer and Painter, UV unwrapping, shader setup, and final lighting using UE5's Nanite and Lumen systems. You'll also learn to create advertisements and decals in Photoshop and apply unique textures throughout the scene.

The course is structured in 53 clearly numbered video chapters covering blockout creation, modeling techniques, procedural and unique texturing workflows, level assembly, and final polish with post-effects. All content is delivered in 1080p with clean audio, and source files are included so you can follow along at your own pace. Time-lapse segments speed up repetitive tasks, with un-time-lapsed footage also provided.

This course is aimed at intermediate artists already familiar with 3D modeling, texturing, and game engine basics. The techniques taught—from modeling strategy to material design and lighting—apply broadly to other interior and environmental projects beyond the metro train example. Personal and membership licenses are available, with commercial licenses offered for schools and teams.
