This course provides a detailed breakdown of the workflow used to create the "Before the Storm" short film teaser in Blender's EEVEE render engine. Across six chapters and over 100 minutes of video, it covers various production stages including preproduction, environment creation, texturing, and assembling crowds using 2D image cards and 3D models.
The videos deconstruct specific shots from the teaser, exploring techniques such as simulating cloth for sails and capes, generating realtime water surfaces, remeshing scanned models, and creating particle systems for flying birds and falling leaves. The workflow also integrates external tools, demonstrating how Substance Painter, After Effects, Mixamo, and Quixel Megascans were utilized in the pipeline. Note that this is a project breakdown rather than a step-by-step tutorial, and does not include the original scene files.
