Discription
You will learn a few major things in this course with dozens of sub-topics.
You need to be good at one thing in 3D and focus your efforts on being a pro in a singular area. If you are just good at everything you will have a hard time succeeding since you really need to be great to stand out.
In this tutorial, I will take you through the initial concept to a final product ready for rendering inside of Blender 3.3 LTS or export to the Unity game engine and others.
Blender is an ever-evolving and frequently updated software. So, let me take you through an easy-to-understand walk-through so you can take your skills to the next level.
All updates are free after enrolling. Enroll today and let’s grow together.

#1. Principles of design. (Visual tools that help you structure your images)

Lighting for multiple types of contrast to tell a story the viewers can understand
Value contrast to draw the viewers’ eyes
Color contrast to show importance etc
Detail contrast
Overlap to show scale and depth
Repetition of objects to create a scene that vibes with the human mind
Rhythm and randomization
Shape repetition to make the viewer comfortable
Overall scene balance
Create a final focal point to tell your story

#2 How to implement those principles in a 3D environment when you follow all of the videos in this tutorial

Full layer system for custom assets
Full export of baked maps if you choose to export to other software
Sculpting and modeling of environment assets with free brush assets (Blender kit)
Scene composition and lighting exercises to practice what you have learned
Plus so much more…

Things you will learn in this course but are not limited to.
Large scale environments
Learn LOD (Level Of Detail) for gaming standards in Unity & other engines
Learn Philogix PBR Painter layer system for pro texture results
Overview of Substance Painter for layer systems
Procedural scattering of objects
How to use weight paint to achieve precise results
Adding physics to your environment water/fire/smoke/cloth
Pro render settings
Concept art and storyboards
How to use camera culling with animation
How to add details to your scene and texture with geometry nodes

I will help you at any stage in your training, so please do not hesitate to join me in the Q&A. YOU WILL NOT BE IGNORED 🙂
Also, I will offer advanced courses and teach more techniques so the difference if you choose to enroll in my course is I will take care of you and always update this course each month with more training. Let’s face it. People don’t seem to care anymore after you have bought something from them.
Enroll today and get started on your 3D modeling journey!
