Advanced Detailing, Roof Design & Texturing

Course Overview

Take your Blender skills to the next level with this advanced course in stylized architectural modeling and texturing. Designed for experienced Blender users, you’ll focus on building a richly detailed, stylized tavern from the ground up: gaining the skills to bring game-ready and cinematic environments to life. Your journey begins with mastering techniques for enhancing detail and realism, from bending wood textures to crafting windows and shutters that feel authentic and immersive. You’ll then explore advanced roof and structural modeling, adding curved wooden frameworks, lanterns, and intricate roof attachments that give your designs character and precision. As the modules progress, you’ll tackle complex modeling and texturing challenges, including chimney creation, balcony structures, staircases, and polished exterior details. Along the way, you’ll refine your UV mapping and texture workflows, ensuring every surface is consistent, realistic, and production-ready. By the end of this 7-module course, you will have: • Built a fully detailed tavern model, complete with stylized exteriors and architectural features. • Mastered advanced texturing, structural modeling, and UV techniques. • Learned to apply these skills to game environments, visualizations, or animation projects with professional-level quality. This course is ideal for working 3D artists and Blender users who already have experience with modeling and texturing, and who want to elevate their craft in architectural environment design. If your goal is to create highly detailed, stylized buildings for games or digital art, this course will give you both the expertise and portfolio-ready projects to showcase your skills. This course now features Coursera Coach — your interactive learning companion that helps you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress.
