Add a whole new style to your Blender repertoire

with Sci-fi Anime Scenary.

You'll get an in-depth look at
hard-surface modeling, and rendering scenes
into 2D animation layers.
Then I'll show you how to set up your camera,
animate a scene with keyframes,
and give you some helpful anime
post-processing techniques.


Class Highlights

Get a Breakdown of Hard-Surface Modeling Essentials

One of the core skills you'll learn during this class involves modeling a scene. I start by covering the beginning phase of creating a hard-surface model called theory and concepting. Then I introduce useful Blender add-ons and free, open-source programs, including "fSpy," which sets the parameters of the Blender camera and optionally sets the camera background image. The modeling part is detailed and beginner friendly: starting with basic hard-surface modeling and steadily evolving into a comprehensive hard-surface modeling guide.
Coloso Nikolai Fletcher Introduction


Create Parallax Animation with Depth & Dimension

I'm aware of the difficulty involved with achieving the desired results using Parallex Effects. That's why I decided to share the process behind rendering a scene into 2D Parallax Layers, setting up the camera specifically for this, and then wrapping it up by animating the scene using Keyframes to create a sense of depth and dimensionality.

Discover Anime Style Post-processing Techniques

The post-production phase is just as important as the production phase. Here, I'll guide you through combining the power of After Effects and Blender to create an anime-style scene through adjustment layers and effects. In addition to detailing, I'll show you how to use Adobe Media Encoder, a helpful tool for rendering videos you plan to share online, which avoids the large file sizes of videos rendered in After Effects.
