Welcome to Blender 3D: Cinematography Masterclass Dune 1/3, a comprehensive step-by-step course designed for aspiring 3D artists and enthusiasts looking to elevate their cinematography, realism, texturing, modeling, and post-production skills. This is the first of a three-part series in which we will recreate the arrival to Arrakis sequence from the movie Dune.

Difficulty: Beginner to Intermediate

What You'll Learn

Modeling:

• Create a planet from scratch using procedural textures to achieve a realistic look

• Model the highliner, the cylindrical ship used for interstellar travel in the Dune universe

Texturing:

• Utilize Blender’s node system to create complex, procedural textures for your models

• Achieve realism through advanced texturing techniques, ensuring every element looks true to the Dune universe

Animation:

• Learn basic geometry node setups

• Create smooth and realistic animations to enhance the cinematic quality of your scene

Post-Production:

• Use After Effects for post-production (you can also use Blender Compositor, but there are no videos for that section)

• Enhance your rendered scene with visual effects and compositing techniques to achieve a polished final product

Take your Blender skills to a new level. I look forward to seeing the amazing scenes you create and helping you grow as a 3D artist. Let's get started on this exciting journey!
