What's insideThorough explanations of real-time rendering engine concepts using practical projectsStep-by-step instructions on how to update workflows to Blender 3.0Intermediate to advanced-level tutorials on creating art inside BlenderYou'll get the most out of this book ifYou're a 3D animator, sculptor, modeler, or a concept artist who wants to use EEVEE to speed up your work in movies, TV, and game designYou have a basic to intermediate-level understanding of 3D programs and ray-tracing enginesWhat your journey will look like
This book will give you a high-level overview of what EEVEE is capable of. As you progress, you'll get to grips with topics like Geometry Nodes, Rendering Techniques, using shortcuts like Kitbashing and Alphas to speed up scene creation, volumetrics, reflections, adding lights, cameras, and even special effects like fire and smoke - all in EEVEE.
You'll learn by working through actual scenes from start to finish, implementing the knowledge you learn along the way. By the time you've completed the book, you'll will have created three separate works by leveraging with the full power of Blender's EEVEE.
