Take a look at the enchanting well environment you could create by joining the 'Stylized Environments with Blender 4 Geometry Nodes' course.

·        Imagine breathing life into this magical scene: a charming, stone-walled well surrounded by a lush meadow dotted with vibrant wildflowers.

·        A sturdy wooden roof, supported by timber beams, casts a cosy shadow over the well, where a serene water surface reflects the tranquil mood.

·        A winding ivy climbs one side, adorned with delicate leaves and flourishing beside a warm, glowing lantern that beckons with soft light.

Starting with a greybox model to nail those scales and proportions, 'Stylized Environments with Blender 4 Geometry Nodes' guides you through detailed modelling techniques. Learn how to create stone slabs with modifiers for a non-destructive workflow, master the art of UV unwrapping, and apply vibrant materials from an exclusive resource pack to bring your scenes to life.

But that's just the beginning!

'Stylized Environments with Blender 4 Geometry Nodes' dives deep into the creative roofing process, teaching you how to generate wood planks and tiles for that perfect stylized look. Discover how to combine geometry nodes with modifiers like the Lattice modifier for dynamic roof curves.  Using geometry nodes, we'll tackle everything from the dappled grassy terrain to the wooden textures of the roof and the natural stone textures of the well.

From sculpting terrain to modelling a glowing lantern and crafting a believable well-turning wheel and bucket, 'Stylized Environments with Blender 4 Geometry Nodes' covers it all.

And when it's time to bring your stylized environment to life, this course shines with insights on using Blender's Cycles renderer and compositor. Enhance your scenes with ambient occlusion, glare effects, and more to make your creation stand out.

Course Outline

Introduction to 'Stylized Environments with Blender 4 Geometry Nodes'

Get started by diving into what makes this course unique. Learn how you'll be creating a stylized well environment from scratch, utilizing geometry nodes to significantly speed up your creative process.

Module 1: Mastering Geometry Nodes

Explore a variety of different geometry nodes, including grass meadow generator, roof tile generator, brick generator, chain generator, ivy generator, and plank generator.

Learn the techniques behind each generator, from using Blender’s curve draw tool for generating ivy mesh to manipulating surface angles for dense grass with flowers.

Module 2: Building the Foundation

Kick things off with the greybox method, we will be modelling the overall design with its scale and proportions in mind.

Dive into creating a cylindrical brick pattern with curves Bezier and adding complexity with an overlaying brick geometry node for stone supports.

Module 3: Crafting the Details

Move on to generating stone slabs for the well, using modifiers for a non-destructive workflow that wraps around the curvature of the well.

Master the basics of UV unwrapping, selecting edges based on their angle to generate seams and applying materials from the resource pack.

Module 4: Designing the Roof

Begin the creative process on the roof, starting with generating wood planks and learning how to randomize the setup using width and length parameters.

Create tiles using geometry node parameters, experimenting to find the perfect setup.

Module 5: Structural Elements

Combine geometry nodes with modifiers, using the lettuce modifier to introduce curves into the roof geometry.

Construct wooden beams to support the roof, utilizing the solidify and skin modifiers for a stylized look.

Module 6: Sculpting and Terrain

Sculpt the terrain for the well, add a staircase, and optimize grass for both modelling and rendering, keeping the project organized.

Learn to model a lantern and attach it to the roof with a chain geometry node, ensuring a believable setup.

Module 7: Final Touches

Create the well's turning wheel and a bucket, employing a mix of geometry nodes and modifiers for a fast and efficient workflow.

Prepare and enhance your final render using Blender's cycles renderer and compositor, applying effects like ambient occlusion and glare to bring out the vibrance of your scene.
