Don McCauley | Environment Artist

Welcome
I’m an environment artist specializing in real-time world building and visual storytelling. My work focuses on creating spaces that feel alive — environments that carry the same emotional weight and presence as any character or narrative. I combine technical precision with strong artistic direction to build believable, engaging worlds for games and interactive media. Skilled in Unreal Engine 5, Substance Designer, and modular asset creation, I design and optimize complete environments ready for in-game use.

â—‡ Procedural workflows and shader creation
