As you know, I previously recorded a 4-hour tutorial on how to create Backrooms in Blender. A lot of people watched the tutorial, and some of them asked if I could make a tutorial on Poolrooms, so, why not.

I did some searching on Youtube and there aren't as many Poolrooms videos as there are Backrooms videos, but they are watched a lot, I haven't found any tutorials on how to create Poolrooms, so this one, if not the first, will definitely be the most detailed.

In this tutorial, we'll create the animation which you can see in the introductory video. The tutorial will be adapted for beginners, but we will also go in-depth to get as many details as possible.

I will show you how to model poolroom mazes of different shapes non-destructively so that we can easily change the construction later.

We will create and animate realistic water and other materials and show you how to get caustics without slowing down render time.

We will create daylight lighting for open spaces with windows and lighting for closed spaces.
I will show you how to create realistic camera movements, and how to add a lot of details and imperfections.
In post-processing, we'll get an authentic VHS look with the new details I've learned for this tutorial.
