CIU/ANM - Environments in the industry

I've done some research into environments used in the game industry. I cam across a couple of websites that I personally found quite interesting. The website on immersion, I found really helpful and will be looking to use these techniques in my environments for current and future projects.

The sky dome was a particular technique i was not aware of and will definitely be using it where necessary in the future.

Below I have included a list of links that I found useful. Each one of these links contain useful skills and techniques that will help improve my skills in creating environments.
