In this module, we focus on organizing your scene for both aesthetic quality and performance. You’ll model and texture torches and fire braziers, as well as fine-tune fire effects with Geometry Nodes. Additionally, we cover asset organization techniques to ensure your scene remains clean and efficient as it grows.

In this module, we’ll be working with the placement of fire torches and braziers throughout the scene to create a dynamic atmosphere. You’ll also be taught how to use Array Modifiers to replicate items quickly and efficiently. Additional emphasis is placed on texturing and adding fire effects to complete the natural elements of your Aztec scene.

This section focuses on bringing the landscape to life. You will learn how to strategically place foliage, such as trees, vines, and ferns, within the Aztec city, making sure the placement enhances the scene’s natural aesthetic. We also explore terrain sculpting and optimization techniques for large-scale environments, ensuring the scene runs smoothly.

In this module, we finalize the terrain and foliage in the Aztec scene. You’ll learn how to position plants, trees, and vines, paying special attention to integrating them into the city layout. The focus will also be on sculpting the terrain and using vertex painting to add color and natural variation to the landscape.

This module is all about finalizing the placement of plants, trees, and other elements to complete the landscape design. You will also learn how to optimize large-scale terrain meshes, making sure everything runs smoothly, and ensuring that the transitions between the terrain and the placed elements are natural and believable.

In this section, we finalize the lighting and environment atmosphere, starting with the creation of the skydome. We also explore weight painting for trees and plants, helping them blend naturally with the terrain. Finally, we set up camera angles and large-scale landscape shots to present the scene in the best possible way.

This module focuses on the rendering and post-processing stages. You’ll create lighting setups for both day and night scenes, learn to use Blender’s Eevee and Cycles rendering engines, and apply post-processing techniques to improve colors and details. The goal is to ensure your scene looks polished and ready for presentation.

In this section, we refine the lighting and perform final compositing and color correction. We’ll set up lighting for both day and night scenes, and add gloss and glare effects to the final render. These final touches ensure your scene is striking and professionally finished.

This module takes a deep dive into compositing and visual enhancement. We’ll focus on color correction for the day scene, composite night scene lighting effects, and refine your render with post-processing techniques to boost realism. The final result will be a polished, visually stunning render that showcases your Aztec city in all its glory.
