In this lesson, you will build a brief, gather references and create a set of 2D line sketches. Finally, you will block out your design in either VR or traditional 3D software.

Lesson 2 – 3D Modeling

In this lesson, you will take your initial 3D blockouts from the previous lesson and begin to refine them in Blender. Then you will simulate a client request, making changes based on feedback.

Lesson 3 – 3D Details

In this lesson you will refine your 3D model, adding kitbash elements and small details as you go.

Lesson 4 – Realism Pass

In this lesson, you will assign materials, apply a color scheme, and add decals. Daniele will also show a second workflow for more realistic texturing.

Lesson 5 – Rendering

In this lesson, Daniele will teach you both of his rendering workflows. The first builds toward a final paintover stage in Photoshop, and the second finishes everything entirely in Blender.

Lesson 6 – Final Presentation

This lesson will focus mostly on the paintover workflow, picking up with your previous renders and finishing them in Photoshop. You will also create some extra beauty shots in Blender using the alternative method.
