The ICE.ART 3D Environment Conference is officially returning with its 2025.I edition. Scheduled for May 21st and 22nd, 2025, the event puts art center stage once again. The conference will focus on 3D environment creation, including procedural workflows, stylised and photorealistic asset development, realtime-ready environments, and techniques relevant across VFX, Art, Architecture and game development.
And: the Call for Speakers is now open. Artists, developers, and technical directors interested in contributing can contact the organisers directly via conference@ice.art. Submissions are open to professionals with experience in 3D environment production—across tools, pipelines, engines, and styles.
Save the date, pitch your talk
For now, this is all that’s confirmed: the date, the title, and the fact that the ICE.ART team is “in full swing” with preparations. If past editions are any indicator, ICE.ART will again offer deep dives into production workflows, pipeline efficiencies, environment-focused worldbuilding, terrain generation, and procedural asset creation.Ffollow updates at ice.art.
