World Building in Blender - Ian Hubert

2.2M views · 7 years ago · talk · intermediate · evergreen

Ian Hubert's Blender Conference talk on how he builds large 3D environments quickly from simple shapes and clever tricks. Topics include photogrammetry, camera projection and projection mapping, which let a single artist produce film-looking worlds.

HN people recommend it as proof that one person with simple tools can build rich, convincing 3D worlds fast.

“His Blender Conference talk about photogrammetry / camera projection / projection mapping was fantastic”

Absolutely, which is an enormous well deserved complement! He makes it seem so easy, but he's got a ridiculous amount of skill. He's on his way to giving mind blowing presentations at Blendercon too. ▶ this video

This short was written and directed by Ian Hubert, who is an amazing 3d artist. I'm not affiliated in any way, but I'm just blown away by the sheer talent on display here. If you're interested, a few years ago he did a very interesting presentation[] that goes into a bit more detail on his way of working. [] ▶ this video

A [1] video essay about modern art by Jacob Geller. For me, it completely reversed my opinion on modern art and it's worth. This [2] talk about building worlds in Blender by Ian Hubert. [1] link [2] ▶ this video
