Shading Lighting And Rendering With Blender Eevee

Shading, Lighting, and Rendering with Blender EEVEE

Get to grips with new real-time animation techniques and tricks to improve your artistic and technical skills in shading, 3D rendering, and scene creation using Blender 3.0 Key Features Learn real-time rendering engine concepts by creating three projects Understand how to update workflows to Blender 3.0 Explore intermediate to advanced-level tutorials on creating art inside Blender Book DescriptionBlender is the most important up-and-coming 3D software package in the world. EEVEE, a state-of-the-art real-time rendering engine is a fairly new addition to Blender and provides the capacity to create artwork at blazing speed, almost 12 times faster than Cycles. Lighting, Shading, and Rendering with Blender’s EEVEE provides a high-level overview of what EEVEE is capable of, then teaches users about 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. All of this is in the context of creating actual scenes that readers will work through from start to finish. By the time a Blender Artist completes the book, they will have created three separate works that have challenged them to iterate and design with the full power of Blender’s EEVEE.What you will learn Explore EEVEE Render Properties for optimal outcomes Focus on shading processes, including those that are both traditional and more cutting-edge Understand composition and create effective concept art inside Blender Discover procedural workflows to shorten the artistic process instead of getting mired in details Understand intermediate Blender workflows for working in a professional environment Develop art in different styles and learn why each style has different workflows and conventions Create interactive, rapid changes in Blender's EEVEE engine Who this book is for This book is for 3D animators, sculptors, modelers, and concept artists who want to use EEVEE to speed up their work in movies, TV, and game design. Readers are expected to have a basic to intermediate-level understanding of 3D programs and ray-tracing engines.

SHADING, LIGHTING, AND RENDERING WITH BLENDER'S EEVEE

Learn Blender Simulations the Right Way

An in-depth guide to using the power of Mantaflow, rigid body, soft body, cloth simulations, and Dynamic Paint in Blender 3.3 to create campfires, waterfalls, explosions, flags, and much more Key Features Understand Mantaflow to create fire and smoke simulations Learn to design satisfying animations using soft bodies and the cloth simulation Construct realistic physics animations with rigid bodies Book DescriptionBlender is a free, open source 3D software that allows you to create stunning visual graphics, animation, VFX, and much more! This book is an in-depth guide to creating realistic and eye-catching simulations, understanding the various settings and options around their creation, and learning how to troubleshoot solutions to your own Blender problems. In addition, this book can also be used to simulate the behavior of certain physics effects, such as fire, fluid, soft bodies, and rigid bodies. You’ll learn how to use Mantaflow, an open source framework within Blender software, to create fire, smoke, and fluid simulations. As you progress, you’ll understand how to easily produce satisfying rigid and soft body simulations, along with cloth simulations. Finally, you’ll use Dynamic Paint, Blender’s modifier, and the physics system to create eye-catching animations. By the end of this Blender book, you’ll have created a number of animations on your own, such as a campfire, waterfalls, and explosions. You’ll also have gained a deeper understanding of all the simulation options in Blender, which you can use to create portfolio-ready animations.What you will learn Discover what Mantaflow is and how to use it effectively Understand domains, flows, and effectors, and why they are important Create realistic fire, smoke, and fluid simulations Produce satisfying soft and rigid body simulations with ease Use the cloth simulation to bring animated fabric to life Explore canvas and brush objects in Dynamic Paint to create eye-catching animations Who this book is for If you’re a VFX artist, 3D artist, game designer, or any Blender user who wants to learn about Mantaflow and physics simulations, then this book is for you. You’re expected to have basic knowledge of the Blender interface and how to use it.
