Create an anime style scene in Blender using a simple, node-free setup, building stairs, pillars, and railings with array, mirror, and bevel modifiers, guided from a reference image.
In Blender, duplicate and align parts, snap vertices on the y-axis, use array and curve modifiers, craft pillars and wires, and set up lighting and a background image.
Create your first anime scene in Blender by mastering camera setup, sun lighting with soft shadows, HDRI environment, ground and background integration, and essential materials and outlines for stylized renders.
Explore Blender compositing with node workflows to soften edges using Kuwahara, add posterize shading, glare and exposure tweaks, then apply vignette and color tweaks for a painted, dreamy look.
Welcome to "Create Your First Anime Scene in Blender"
In this course, you’ll learn how to create an anime-style environment scene in Blender completely from scratch. We will go through the complete process of building a stylized anime environment — from blocking and modeling to lighting, materials, and final render.
The course is just under 45 minutes long and follows a complete simple workflow, with no steps skipped. All project files are included, so you can follow along easily from start to finish. It’s designed to be straightforward and beginner-friendly, so you can confidently complete the entire project alongside me.
We’ll begin with scene blocking and composition to set up a strong foundation. Then we’ll model all the main environment assets step by step. Next, we’ll focus on creating clean, anime-style lighting and simple but effective materials.
You’ll also learn how to set up the camera and optimize the scene for the final render. To finish, we’ll go through basic compositing to polish the final look and add atmosphere.
This course is suitable for beginners and intermediate Blender users who want to learn how to create clean, stylized anime-style backgrounds and environments. By the end of this course, you will have a finished scene and a solid workflow you can reuse in your own projects.
