Have you ever tried to build an entire urban environment in 3D?

Creating buildings, adding props and filling the city streets with life? That can be an incredibly overwhelming task, but such a cool project! But it’s hard to find an all-in-one resource that teaches you to create exactly that, step by step.

That is why we created Master Urban Environments in Blender.

This course aims to cover everything that you can think of, to help you create all the city environments you can imagine. By the end of the course, you will have built your own urban scene in Blender, full of details that convey a unique mood.

This course is taught in a way that beginners can jump right in, and experienced artists will still gain vital and exciting new creative skills.
