Description
In this volume, you will learn how to create an Ocean just by using the Ocean Modifier combined with a really cool shading setup inside of Blender. Not only that but also how to frame and light your scene with a lot of really useful tips here and there, that will take your 3D skills to the next level.

Here's a brief summary of all the different videos in this course

Video 1: Studying References: In this video, you will learn the basics of how to study some real-life references that will guide us through the process of creating a believable ocean.

Video 2: Scene Preparation: In this video, you will learn how to prepare the Blender scene for all the work that we will be doing, from render setting, output resolution, etc,…

Video 3: Ocean Modifier and Scene Lighting: In this video, you will learn how to use the Ocean Modifier along with how to start shaping the light in our scene.

Video 4: Ocean Animation: In this video, you will learn how to animate the waves just by using a couple of very simple keyframes in the Ocean Modifier.

Video 5: Camera Animation: In this video, you will learn how to create the flying camera movement.

Video 6: Background Ocean: In this video, you will learn how to create some extra ocean plates in the background to fill out the scene and add more depth to it, and of course, I will show you how to optimize them so that we optimize the scene and therefore get shorter renders.

Videos 7,8,9,10: Shading The Ocean: In these videos, you will learn how to shade the surface of the water.

Video 11: Add Depth To The Ocean: In this video, you will learn how to give the illusion of depth to our ocean.

Video 12: Adding Fog: In this video, you will learn how to use Blender volumetric system to add some fog/mist to the scene to add more atmospheric depth to it.

Videos 13,14,15: Rendering: In these videos, you will learn how to break down the scene into its different layers and how to render them. These renders we will use later in the compositing process.

Videos 16,17: Compositing: In these videos, you will learn how to comp all the different layers in Blender, and how to add the fix the color and add the final touches to your scene.
