Cinematic Look With Blender - Step By Step - Updated 2023

Create and animate a cinematic scene in Blender, covering modeling, texturing, unwrapping, lighting, and post-processing step by step as recorded for Blender beginners.

Learn blender basics for beginners and navigate the layout, shading, uv editor, and world lighting to build a scene, render with eevee or cycles, and use common shortcuts.

Model a mussel shell in blender from a photo collage texture, using reference image, proportional editing, loop cuts, subdivision surface, solidify thickness, origin alignment, and instance duplication.

Unwrap a Blender shell model using project from view and UV editing, map a texture, and refine shading with bump, height, and color ramp for realistic roughness.

Learn to sculpt a second shell in Blender by modeling with loop cuts, extrude operations, proportional editing, subdivision surface, bevels, and UV unwrap for a cinematic look.

Apply thickness with the solidify modifier, duplicate and transform shells on z and x axes, unwrap uvs, and refine with proportional editing to create muscle variations and materials.

Model a cutting board with bevels, extrusions, and loop cuts, apply a wood shader from chocofur, and set up a cycles render with depth of field and camera framing.

Create and texture a cutting board in Blender, from modeling with bevels and loop cuts to applying chocofur shaders, setting up render, camera, and depth of field.

Create a cinematic blender look by using a salt-like material with transmission and noise-driven roughness, tuned by a color ramp, then add parsley leaves via knife cuts and UV unwrap.

Create a cinematic Blender table scene by adding a table cloth texture, adjusting roughness and bump with color ramps, and incorporating two oil bottles and rosemary branches for depth.

Create a Blender background with a bokeh effect by using a background image, emission driven by a color ramp, and split RGB into color channels for refinement.

In Blender, build shelves and a background with loop cuts, bevels, and metal materials; adjust lighting, add a background image, and extrude to create depth.

Create a cinematic fireplace in Blender by blending animated fire footage with a brick-textured fireplace, adjust lighting and color management, and add chromatic aberration and glow in the compositor.

Create a vignette object in front of the camera with blue shells, animate camera movement over 120 frames at 24 fps, and apply glossy direction and lens distortion in post.

Apply post-processing in after effects to add grain (Kodak 800t), glow, chromatic aberration, and halation, using masking, cinematic bars, and adjustment layers.

Learn post-processing techniques for cinematic looks by adding lens flare and optical flares, applying color correction with lumetri tools, masking and keyframing opacity, and exporting via Adobe Media Encoder.
