Create a complete conceptual artwork from scratch by blending 3d drafting with digital painting, covering 3d modeling, shading, lighting, composition, aesthetics, and real-time painting with 3d and 2d files.
select all four points of one side by right-clicking and dragging in screen space to shape a 3d model, and learn how orange selection and wireframes guide the editing process.
Master Blender selection modes, including rectangle selection and edge/face selection via the tool menu, and use G, S, and R to move, scale, and rotate, with the floating crosshair.
Discover how to create a plane quickly in Blender using shortcuts, placing it at the cursor, adjusting size in object properties, and centering with G for an efficient workflow.
Master the node editor in Blender to build materials with a physically based shader, adjust roughness, and apply textures for real-time, nonlinear material previews.
Explore ambient occlusion and gradient map to see real-time shadow changes as you adjust sun position, shadow color, and depth cues in your scene.
Advance sandbanks by duplicating a plane, applying a procedural texture as displacement, and tweaking noise distortions and Perlin options for a natural, rough sandy terrain.
Learn to paint the sky as a mood-setting element, using selection and masking to build layered mountains and clouds that expand the scene, then refine with brushes and gradients.
Learn the ability of incorporating renderings in your workflow and take your creation process to the next level. This 8+ hour class will take you through all the steps from 100% start to finish on how become an efficient artist and create powerful conceptual artworks in no time.
You will learn the Basics of 3D modelling in an intuitive learning approach which not only keeps you motivated, but also gives you an actual in depth insight on how professionals work.
