This course is a continuation of the Dune Masterclass series, where we recreate iconic movie shots using Blender. If you haven’t completed Part 1, no worries – this course stands on its own. If you wish to watch part one, visit this link Dune Masterclass Part 1.

In the first part of our series, we crafted the opening shot with the highliner arriving at Arrakis. In this second installment, we’ll proceed with the sequence as the ship enters the planet’s atmosphere.

While the first course balanced modeling, texturing, animation, and post-production, this one will focus heavily on building a geometry node system. This system will be used to distribute, scale, scatter, and animate our ships, ensuring a dynamic and realistic scene.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this course:

PROJECT RESOURCES

Geometry Nodes:

Develop a robust geometry node system to manage the distribution, scaling, scattering, and animation of ships.

Animation:

Enhance your animation techniques to create smooth, realistic movements as the highliner descends through the atmosphere.

Post-Production:

Once the Blender scene is complete, transition to After Effects for post-production work. You’ll learn to apply visual effects and compositing techniques to polish your final product.

By the end of this course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of advanced Blender functionalities and post-production workflows, enabling you to create cinematic scenes with professional quality. Let’s dive in and continue our journey on Arrakis!
