Blender 3D Cinematography Masterclass Dune (Part 1-3) by Daren Perincic

Welcome to the Blender 3D Masterclass, a comprehensive step-by-step course designed for aspiring 3D artists and enthusiasts aiming to elevate their skills in cinematography, realism, texturing, modeling, and post-production. This is the first part of a three-part series where we will recreate the iconic “Arrival to Arrakis” sequence from the movie Dune.

Difficulty: Beginner to Intermediate

What You’ll Learn

Modeling:

• Create a Planet: Learn to create a planet from scratch using procedural textures to achieve a realistic look.
• Model the Highliner: Model the cylindrical ship used for interstellar travel in the Dune universe.

Texturing:

• Node System Mastery: Utilize Blender’s node system to create complex, procedural textures for your models.
• Achieve Realism: Implement advanced texturing techniques to ensure every element looks true to the Dune universe.

Animation:

• Geometry Nodes: Learn basic geometry node setups.
• Smooth Animations: Create smooth and realistic animations to enhance the cinematic quality of your scene.

Post-Production:

• After Effects: Use After Effects for post-production (Blender Compositor can also be used, but there are no videos for that section).
• Visual Effects and Compositing: Enhance your rendered scene with visual effects and compositing techniques to achieve a polished final product.
