The Exterior Masterclass

The Exterior Masterclass is a video training course focused on building realistic outdoor environments and architectural scenes in Blender. The course is structured as a workflow demonstration rather than a strict step-by-step tutorial, targeting users who already understand the basic interface.

The first module covers the creation from scratch of a colonial American-style house, detailing the modeling of wooden siding, windows, doors, and a portico. It also explores landscaping techniques for building yards and gardens, alongside modeling backyard props like a swing set and a barbecue grill. This section incorporates simulation workflows, including cloth simulation for a flag, smoke simulation for the grill, and heat distortion effects.

The second module focuses on a Spanish-style Hacienda courtyard, addressing modeling challenges like unusually shaped buildings and a swimming pool. The final module demonstrates the creation of a run-down inner-city back alley scene.
