Over the course of six hours, Adrien shares his process in real-time, working through his entire pipeline, from blocking in the scene and modeling objects in Maya to sculpting details in ZBrush and texturing in Mari, through the lighting and look-dev in Maya, rendering in Arnold, and handling the final compositing stage in Nuke. Throughout the workshop, Adrien gives his best-practice advice, helpful rules, and tips and tricks along the way. Discover how to apply knowledge of real-world cameras to get the most out of your 3D camera in Maya, and learn about the importance of fresnel in CG — controlled by the “Index of Refraction” in Arnold — for creating hyper-realistic environments.

Upon completing this workshop, you’ll be equipped with an arsenal of skills to tackle the modeling, texturing, lighting and compositing of your own, photorealistic 3D environments for production — or as impressive portfolio pieces.
