01 / COURSE OVERVIEW

Build a world
worth exploring.

This is an online digital video course. You’ll create your own cyberpunk environment and produce your own animations in Blender; no physical goods are shipped.

You’ll find detailed explanations of both the fundamentals and the advanced tools professional 3D artists use. We’ll explore lighting in Cycles, scene optimization, and model texturing.

I’ve spent more than five years learning how to find the compositional angles that leave an impression. This course brings together my techniques for materials, lighting, and animation so you can apply them to your own work.

MEET THE ARTIST BEHIND THE COURSE

Hi, I’m Igor.
Let’s build your world.

I’m a 3D artist working with Blender and Unreal Engine. I create cinematic environments, immersive experiences, and the images you see here.

In this course, I’ll take you through my creative process — from the first references to lighting, materials, and the final render. You’ll learn from the decisions behind the work, one stage at a time.

SECTION 01 / DISCOVER

Introduction

Meet Igor, explore the Cyberpunk project, and set up a clear workflow in Blender. Understand the creative goal and how each stage builds toward your final render.

SECTION 02 / DISCOVER

Finding References

Build a reference board with purpose. Study architecture, composition, color, and atmosphere to develop a consistent visual direction for your own cyberpunk scene.

SECTION 03 / BUILD

Blocking Out the Scene

Use simple cubes to establish scale, depth, and composition before adding detail. Test camera positions and shape a scene that already reads well as a silhouette.

SECTION 04 / BUILD

Where to Find Assets

Learn how to look for useful models and textures, assess their quality, and check their licenses. Build a focused asset list that supports the scene you planned.

SECTION 05 / BUILD

Importing Assets

Bring your assets into Blender and prepare them for production. Fix scale, organize collections, reconnect textures, and keep the project easy to navigate.

SECTION 06 / BUILD

Assembling the Environment

Replace the blockout with architecture, props, and storytelling details. Refine spacing, repetition, and visual layers, then explore a simple camera move through the location.

SECTION 07 / REFINE

Lighting the Scene

Shape a cinematic atmosphere in Cycles. Balance neon sources, practical lights, and shadows to guide attention while preserving depth and readable forms.

SECTION 08 / REFINE

Textures & Reflections

Develop believable surfaces with roughness, texture scale, and subtle variation. Use wet materials and controlled reflections to connect the environment to its lighting.

SECTION 09 / FINISH

Rendering

Prepare the final output in Cycles. Review scene optimization, sampling, denoising, and image sequences so your stills and animations keep their intended quality.
