3D Environments: Create Otherworldly Fantasy Lands

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the scene you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are some final tips to guide you on your journey: Ideation Choose the scene you want to create. Blocking the Scene Now, block the scene in the 3D modeling software of your choice. The Terrain Model your terrain in Houdini.

The Look Development In Clarisse iFX, build your template, create your library, and work on the look development of your project. Once that's ready, you can start dressing the set with elements.
The Render Lastly, render your image and spend a little time on compositing.
I can't wait to see what you've come up with. You can share your work with us so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there!”
