Hey Reader,
Zach here,
Our new Urban Environments course for Blender is opening its doors in just two days.
Today I want to share what this course is all about.
If you have ever tried to build an entire urban environment in 3D, you’ve probably realized it can be quite an overwhelming task, but such an exciting project.
We found that it's hard to find a full course that teaches you to create exactly that, step-by-step.
That is why we teamed up with Cov Phillips to create the Master Urban Environments course.
Check out the city scene that you will learn to create in our new trailer:
By the end of the course you’ll have built your very own urban environment scene in Blender, full of details that convey a unique cinematic mood, and you’ll have the confidence to tackle further ambitious urban 3D projects.
The course has been completely beta tested in the past months, by some of our verified students, and here is what they have to say:
Personally, I can say that you can feel Cov's passion for the subject and sharing his creative process when watching his lessons. His teaching style is fun and clear, so that it will be easy for you to absorb all the information to build your arsenal of workflows to create any urban environment.
So, if you want to learn how to create large urban cinematic scenes from scratch, get ready for this Thursday, February 8th.
And if you absolutely don't want to miss the course launch, click the link below, which will automatically add you to the waiting list:

Hey Reader, Zach here, The other day, in a CG Boost team meeting, we were discussing how platforms are oversaturated with content and images, which can make it feel like, what’s the point of making more content? Then Masha who has been on our team since the very beginning of CG Boost said: The reason I create art is to give life to my imagination. I like the process of thinking about an idea and fully bringing it to life. That encouraged me. Like a breath of fresh air, it was a great reminder...
