"Bring more realism to your renders using procedural effects inspired by the real world,
then experiment with particles effects, geometry & more!"
Master Procedural 3D and Create Portfolio-Ready Scenes
Join izzy, the professional artist behind projects for Bring Me The Horizon, YOASOBI, and Netflix, as he reveals his complete workflow for procedural effects and cinematic rendering.
Unlike typical tutorials that focus on a single technique or effect, this course guides you through the entire workflow. From concept to dynamic FX in Blender and final polishing in DaVinci Resolve, you’ll see how professionals bring fantasy to life.
Through hands-on exercises, you’ll explore key techniques such as particle effects and character-driven FX, building a solid foundation in procedural 3D creation. By the end, you’ll have completed polished renders, gained the confidence to take on professional 3D projects, and developed the skills to grow as an independent artist.
