REQUIREMENTS
SOFTWARES YOU'LL NEED:
  • Blender (100% Free)
  • Any 2D Painting Software (Photoshop, Krita, Procreate, etc.)
  • Blender Add-ons (Highly Recommended): I teach a professional, high-speed pipeline. While you can follow the core design principles using native Blender tools, I highly recommend using the specific paid add-ons I demonstrate to completely remove technical friction and model much faster. The most important ones being HardOps and PieMenuEditor.

THOUGHTS FROM FELLOW ARTISTS
Benjamin Schulte

CHRISTOPH STRYCZEK

Principal Designer at KARAKTER

"This tutorial is filled to the brim with battle-proven techniques that we used studio-wide for years. In my opinion, it's the best resource if you want a deep dive into state-of-the-art concept art production and 3D modeling — suitable for beginners and also seasoned veterans!"

Marius Janusonis

MARIUS JANUSONIS

Concept Artist / Art Director

"The ultimate resource for hard surface design! Perfect for beginners and advanced artists alike, this course breaks down complex workflows, design thinking, and world-building into digestible, easy-to-understand steps. You won't find a better value anywhere else!"

Bo Zonneveld

BO ZONNEVELD

Concept Artist / CEO of GLOVE

"This course completely changed the way I work in Blender. The workflow improvements and practical techniques helped me work faster, stay organized, and feel much more comfortable tackling complex projects. I highly recommend it!"

Yannick Stahl

YANNICK STAHL

Freelance Concept Designer

"I’m a firm believer that not everyone who is great at art is also automatically great at teaching. Andrei, however, manages to be amazing at both things. Be it design theory or practical application, both in 3D and 2D, this course covers it all. You’re guaranteed to learn something new and level up your skills, whether you’re a professional or an absolute beginner."
