Creating Simple Eevee Environments - Part 3
Live Stream Host: Kent TrammellLet's continue our summer Blender project. In this tutorial, we are making our beach 🏝️
Simplistic stylized environments are great, visually appealing projects. There is so much to learn in this workflow!
This tutorial series originally aired as a livestream for CG Cookie members - now, it's unlocked for anybody to watch.

We are going to create our tropical Blender island
In part 1, we created stylized tress (watch part 1 here).
In part 2, we made simple plants to add to our scene (watch part 2 here).
In part 3 (this video), we will create our beautiful sandy stylized beach.
Finally, in part 4, we will bring it all together and create our whole island scene (watch part 4 here).
Today, we are creating this sandy beach with waves
Here's the result of the 4-part tutorial series
Building simple, stylized environment assets
Above all, this style is super FUN to create. Their simplicity is not only appealing to look at, but it also enables for faster creation compared to their photo-real counterparts.
Link-based Blender workflow
Environments are perfect for using Blender's linking system. The idea being that we create individual .blends for each asset then link them into a new .blend where we assemble the overall environment by duplicating the linked assets and placing them appropriately. The benefit with this is that any changes we want to make to the individual asset .blend files will be applied to the assembly containing links accordingly. It's a crucial function for working on complex scenes like this.
Eevee for large scenes
More often I see Eevee being used for singular objects like characters, vehicles, or small contained environments (sci-fi corridors and single-rooms). So we're going to figure out how to make Eevee work for large-scale scenes.
Thanks for the stream, Kent
Wes made all the arrangements
Grab your surf gear, the whole class is going to the beach
See ya all

Thanks a lot. Good night all!
Thank you, Kent.
Thanks a lot for that Kent

Great stream today Kent thanks!
Thanks for the stream.
Thanks for a fun stream!
Kent - thanks for the stream! The scene is taking shape.
Alright, cool. Thanks for the stream, Kent!
Yep, and you can set your sheepit account to prioritize your own group's stuff, but if there's no group projects then you just render whatever's in the larger pipeline
