3-D Environments in Blender

🌐 Step into real-time world-building. In this immersive, hands-on filmed-live session, Tayler Olivas walks you through the essential tools and techniques of Blender—allowing you to craft dramatic environment scenes that marry hard-surface structure, organic elements, lighting, and mood. 


You’ll learn how to:
🎯 Build structures and environments from simple forms to complex scenes—clear, manageable steps in a 3-D space.
🧱 Seamlessly combine hard-surface and organic elements so your scene feels cohesive—not just “modeled”.
💡 Use lighting, camera placement, and surface texture to elevate mood, direction, and story in your environment.
🖼 Complement 3-D with 2-D: know how to move from modeling to rendering to final composition so the scene is presentation-ready.


Ideal for digital artists and environment designers who want to bridge 2-D/3-D workflows, strengthen their foundational toolset in Blender, and begin producing environments that read strong in professional pipelines. Runtime: 1.5+ hours
