    I see you're essentially sculpting the environment.

    I thought that was something environment artists were used to do.

    Is this part of your usual day-to-day work?

    Yes, there's some overlap here.

    Some companies also use terms differently than others.

    So what I'm doing can be considered environmental art.

    But what we consider environmental art in Coffee Stain is the actual creation of the environmental assets and not the placing of them.

    So level design is the placing of things.

    And it really differs per company.

    For example, at Ubisoft, this was environmental art, what I'm doing now, not level design.

    It's really up to the lingo of internal systems, really.

    It's different for everyone.

    But yeah, we call it level design.
