NEW RADIUS | WHEN BREATHING BECOMES A LUXURY

In a world where oxygen is scarce, even breathing comes at a price.

Welcome to New Radius, a dystopian city where survival depends on access to clean air.

Oxygen Bars are connected through a network of tunnels, offering a temporary escape from the city’s toxic atmosphere. Meanwhile, The Pods serve as personal oxygen stations, providing a moment of relief in a world where clean air has become a privilege.

These concepts are part of New Radius, a worldbuilding project where futuristic prop design and environmental storytelling come together to bring a dystopian universe to life.

The Covenant — by Pablo Medina

A cyberpunk environment concept developed by Pablo Medina during his time at Universal Arts School, exploring a futuristic Japanese setting shaped by atmosphere, scale and visual storytelling.

The project imagines a world of “Cyber-Yakuza deals,” using environment design to suggest a much larger narrative beyond a single frame. Architecture, lighting, composition and mood come together to create a scene that feels cinematic while leaving enough unanswered to make you want to know what happens next. The project was created in Adobe Photoshop and focuses on cyberpunk environment concept art.

Projects like this show why environment design is much more than creating a beautiful background: it is about building a believable world, establishing its tone and communicating a story before a character even says a word.

Created by Pablo Medina.

UARTS has evolved — and so has the way we prepare creative talent for the industry.

After 30+ years, we’re entering a new stage: new university pathways, new opportunities for international students, Valencia × Los Angeles, and the same obsession with one thing — helping creatives become professionals.

Because you shouldn’t have to choose between university and industry. You should be able to build both.

At UARTS, you don’t wait until graduation to start producing. You learn by creating, correcting, improving and working in an environment designed to reflect the real creative industry from day one.

Video Games · Animation · Film & VFX · Digital Art

Your career doesn’t start when you graduate. It starts when you start producing.

This Week in “The Room” — Light Studies by Ana María Muñoz.

This week, we take a closer look at the work of our student Ana María Muñoz and her exploration of lighting inside the same environment. By changing the type, direction and intensity of the light, the room completely transforms in mood, depth and visual hierarchy. A great example of how lighting can become one of the strongest tools when it comes to guiding the viewer and building atmosphere.

Directional Sun Light

For this version, natural sunlight becomes the main source of illumination and completely changes the feeling of the environment. The strong direction of the light creates clear shapes, long shadows and areas of high contrast across the room. This not only adds depth to the scene, but also gives the space a stronger sense of time, atmosphere and realism. A simple change in lighting direction can completely redefine how the same environment is perceived.

Local Pin Light

In this study, Ana María works with more focused and controlled light sources to highlight specific areas of the room. The lighting helps separate different elements, create visual points of interest and guide the viewer through the composition without illuminating the entire scene equally. The result is a more intimate and selective atmosphere, where light becomes a tool to decide exactly where the attention should go.

BUILDING THE ENVIRONMENT

A breakdown of how the scene developed from its first structural elements into the final environment.

Working progressively with modular pieces, props, lighting and composition to build the space layer by layer.

ASSET SCENE

A closer look at the collection of assets used throughout the environment.

Creating a consistent asset library makes it possible to build complexity while maintaining the same visual language across the entire scene.

HERO ASSET — GUN

A fan art environment inspired by Wallace Klim’s Lab from Star Citizen, created by our student Doae Moudden Ansari (artdoa ) and supervised by our Videogame Art mentor David Saiz (David Saiz).

For this project, Doae set out to push both the artistic and technical side of environment creation, working with trim sheets, splines and modular assets while studying the original scene closely to recreate its visual language and atmosphere.

The result earned recognition at The Rookies Awards 2026, where the project became a Career Opportunities Finalist for Remedy Entertainment.

A great example of how a personal challenge can become a portfolio piece with real industry visibility.

Congratulations, Doae!
