3D blockout with AI for level design using Scenario Gemini Unity to generate models textures realistic scenes fast
Learn how to build fast 3D blockouts for video games and visualization using artificial intelligence tools. In this course, you will generate 3D assets, textures and materials with Scenario, Gemini and Unity to design complete environments from simple references.
You will start from real-world images, such as Google Street View captures, and turn them into 3D models ready for level design. You will discover workflows for text to 3D, image to 3D, and texture generation, as well as how to create consistent variations to expand your asset library without extra modeling time.
Finally, you will import everything into Unity to assemble a coherent scene, control scale, lighting and composition, and extract renders you can refine with AI. This practical method helps you iterate rapidly on environment design, prototype ideas, and speed up early stages of any 3D project.

What's included in this course?
Learn how to block out 3D scenes with AI support for faster, more flexible workflows. Understand how to take real-world references, turn them into 3D assets, and organize them into a coherent environment. Explore Scenario and Gemini to generate models, textures, and materials, gaining criteria to choose models, set parameters, and optimize meshes for quick iteration.
Practice importing and structuring all assets inside Unity, from creating a clean project to scaling, naming, and organizing objects. Compose a complete scene based on a real Spanish village, arrange buildings, vegetation, props, and vehicles, then capture views for hyperrealistic renders driven by AI. Finish with a clear pipeline that speeds up level design, prototyping, and visual exploration for future 3D projects.

FAQs
You’ll learn how to quickly create and optimize 3D scenes using AI, integrating tools like Scenario and Gemini, generating and editing assets, textures, and models ready to use in engines like Unity.
The course is designed for those with intermediate knowledge of 3D design or Unity, but no advanced AI experience is required. It’s perfect if you have basic modeling skills and want to streamline your workflow.
You’ll need access to Unity, Scenario, Gemini, Photoshop (or another image editor), and an internet connection to use AI platforms and online resources. A computer capable of handling 3D graphics is recommended.
Rapid prototyping and blockout let you build simplified versions of scenes and levels using basic shapes to define composition and scale before adding details. This speeds up idea validation and iteration in 3D environments.
Yes, Scenario allows you to automatically generate 3D models from reference images or written descriptions (text to 3D), making it easy to quickly create custom AI assets.
Models are exported in compatible formats (like OBJ), imported into Unity, and organized into folders. You can adjust scale, materials, and positioning to fit them perfectly into your scenes or levels.
AI speeds up asset creation, automates repetitive tasks, and lets you quickly generate variations, saving time and making iteration easier in 3D scene and level design.
