Lesson 1
This lesson will explore various fundamentals about starships, planets, space, and concept art in general. You will finish the lesson by creating your first set of black and white keyframe sketches.
Lesson 2

Lesson 4
In this lesson, Gabriel will teach you to model a high quality spacecraft that's tailored to your scene, spending time detailing only the things that will be needed for your final artwork.
Lesson 5
Now you will finish your spaceship design by adding materials and rendering out shots, which you can bring into the paintover stage.
Lesson 6
In this lesson, you will use your 3D rendered spacecraft as a base to create a finished keyframe paintover.
Lesson 7
In this lesson, you will create a main hero asset for your next keyframe.
Lesson 8
Now that you have a hero asset, it’s time to populate your scene with any other necessary 3D elements, before rendering out your shot.
Lesson 9
Now that you have your 3D renders, you will use them to create the final paintover of your second keyframe.
Lesson 10
You will now use the spaceship or other main assets you’ve created to tell new stories through additional keyframes.
