Create Realistic Industrial Environments with Blender and Eevee

Simple modeling based on primitives

• The modeling is very simple since it’s all based on primitive shapes; cubes and cylinders
• Our models will maximize Eevee’s real-time potential…so we’re avoiding subdivision smoothing
• The models will be low poly, but appear smooth (a best of both worlds situation!)

Simple yet competent models + robust materials

• Our shading does most of the heavy lifting for this project
• All materials are 100% procedural. (no UVs or image textures)
• We’ll use key procedural concepts, repeated and adjusted in useful ways

Plus, numerous tips and tricks:

• Eevee’s indirect lighting provides an approximated global illumination component. Sure it’s not as accurate as Cycles but it can get the job done in the right conditions! Darkly lit being one of those conditions.
• Volumetric Fog / Smoke does a lot for establishing spacial depth as well as introducing cinematic drama. Eevee’s fast volume calculation is one of my favorite features.
• Photorealistic post-processing techniques. We’ll go over a few go-to compositing techniques that push a realistic render further into *photo* realism.
