  DESCRIPTION In any film or TV series, architecture and environment design play an important role. In many projects, it becomes of such paramount importance that a “nice” visual isn’t going to cut it — your designs also need to be accurate and fully developed. This 3-hour workshop by Francesco Corvino is intended for anyone interested in architecture and environment design for the entertainment industry, as well as those more broadly looking to develop unique, imaginary worlds. Francesco shares his straightforward approach to designing architecture and environments using a simple, no-nonsense approach with Photoshop and Blender as his software of choice. Basic knowledge of 3D software and Photoshop will be sufficient for following along with this workshop. In a world increasingly saturated with hyper-photorealistic illustrations, often produced in seconds using generative AI software, this workshop focuses on the fundamentals of design and ideation. Francesco focuses on what truly...

  DESCRIPTION Learn the process for creating a 3D kit from start to finish. Discover all the insights and techniques to help you take full advantage of 3D kit creation and be inspired to produce epic images, from generating initial ideas, gathering references, and handling prep work to finalizing concept art in Photoshop. Everything will be covered to help you create your own 3D kit assets, including modeling and texturing assets, from single assets to more complex pieces, assembling new assets, and building out a scene. You’ll then explore how to use the created assets to build final illustrations. The workflow instructed offers a comprehensive approach to asset creation and scene development, beginning with hand painting, bashing plants, and using Blender texture nodes to generate individual assets. Those assets are then developed into a versatile kit, employing Blender techniques, including mirroring and deformers, to progress from simpler to more intricate components. Upon esta...
