CG Master Christopher Plush takes you through each stage of modeling, texturing, and lighting an abandoned warehouse level. Learn how to create this realtime environment in its entirety including environment assets, and learn how to use the new Blender 2.5 series while you’re at it. Over 35 hours has been recorded for this DVD and edited to an extensive 14-hour, voice-narrated video tutorial taking you through every single step of production. Select segments have been timelapsed, but nothing has been edited out. This is the entire creation process start to finish, and it covers all the tricks of the trade for realtime content creation.
