Blender 3D VDM Sculpting for Intermediates Your First Egyptian Desert Miniature Planet 3D Tutorials

Cartoon-style planets can be approached a number of ways—I am familiar with a few of them.

Using textures only is very limiting, so in this course, I’ll teach you my most recent breakthrough in miniature planet modeling in Blender using custom-made brushes. Blender has come a long way, and a recent feature—VDM brushes—will allow us to achieve the results shown in the course.

What you’ll learn:

• Making a perfect sphere with clean topology
  
• Sculpting planets and other topographic features using VDM sand brushes
  
• Texturing desert sand
  
• Modeling and texturing low-poly palm trees and bushes
  
• Creating realistic water
  
• Lighting
  
• Camera setup
  

Who is this course for?

• Beginner to Intermediate learners
  
• Learners who know how to navigate the UI, install add-ons, etc.
  
• Learners who want to improve their lighting skills
  
• Learners who like cartoon-style renders
  
• Learners that want to learn the very basics of sculpting with VDM brushes
  
• What you get:
  
• 4K sand textures
  
• 3 VDM sand brushes made by me
  
• 1 hour and 32 minutes long lecture series
  

What is expected of learners?
To spend more time than the course lighting & modeling to achieve the greatest, prettiest results possible, and to get creative and use any other addons or means to build on what was taught in this course.

Learners are also encouraged to take what they have learned, and apply it elsewhere or on another planet—one that is not comprised solely of desert.
