Stage // 01
Modeling
Every world starts as a shape. Modeling is the craft of pushing a primitive into a form that reads — controlling geometry, proportion and edge flow until the silhouette is right.
Primitive → Shape → Form → Detail
You'll explore
- Primitives & meshes
- Edge flow & topology
- Modifiers
- Proportion & silhouette

Stage // 02
Texturing
Geometry tells you what something is. Texture tells you what it is made of — unwrapping the surface, laying down colour, and layering the maps that give a material its character.
Base → Colour → Surface → Material
You'll explore
- UV unwrapping
- Colour & albedo
- Roughness & normal maps
- Material layering

Stage // 03
Lighting
Nothing exists until it is lit. Lighting reveals the form you built — shaping depth, mood and contrast with the placement and intensity of every source in the scene.
Dark → Key → Fill → Rim
You'll explore
- Key, fill & rim
- Shadow & contrast
- Colour temperature
- Mood & atmosphere

Stage // 04
Animating
The last step is time. Animation turns a static object into something alive — keyframes, curves and timing that make motion feel intentional rather than mechanical.
