​Free PBR Texturing Introduction by Blender Guru​

Andrew Price (aka Blender Guru) has just released a long and comprehensive YouTube tutorial explaining the ins and outs of PBR texturing in Blender 4.2.

He goes step by step through the process of setting up a realistic brick wall material. Some fundamental concepts like bump mapping vs displacement are explained there in an easy-to-follow manner.

The video will be invaluable for you if you’re just starting to learn Blender, but even if you think you know the basics, you might find something new.

​Remastering Skyrim in Blender​

Our Urban Environments course author Cov Phillips ventured into a small village in Skyrim to make a high-quality remaster of the original game scene in Blender. What a quest!

Cov shares his experience and a bunch of great techniques, workflows, and clever hacks to rebuild the exact Skyrim scene.

You’ll learn a ton about world-building, texturing, and even photogrammetry from images taken inside a game.

That’s it from me for today. Have a great week and till next time!
