This course features Coursera Coach!
A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Master the art of building enchanting, stylized 3D environments using Blender 4's powerful Geometry Nodes. Whether you're a hobbyist or aspiring professional, this course helps you unlock procedural workflows, artistic techniques, and technical skills essential for compelling environment design. You’ll gain the ability to create immersive scenes rich in detail and creativity. Starting with Blender basics, you'll become fluent in viewport navigation, modeling, and shading fundamentals. Then, dive into more complex topics like greyboxing, brick and wood detailing, UV unwrapping, and material application. Each module progressively layers in more advanced techniques—like sculpting, structural design, and vegetation integration—building your confidence and skillset step by step. Later modules focus on dynamic terrain sculpting, realistic grass generation, decorative modeling, and post-production effects to finalize your environment. You’ll also learn to integrate mechanisms like wells, cogwheels, and buckets, adding functional realism to your scenes. The course concludes with advanced rendering workflows and visual polish techniques for a professional finish. This intermediate-level course is ideal for 3D artists, game designers, environment modelers, or Blender users looking to expand their procedural modeling toolkit. A basic understanding of Blender’s interface is recommended, but not required, as early modules will get you up to speed. By the end of the course, you will be able to design, model, texture, and render visually stunning stylized environments using Blender 4 and Geometry Nodes with a strong grasp of procedural workflows, environmental storytelling, and artistic optimization.
