Cinematic Apocalyptic Scene in Blender ⛽
Hey Reader,
Zach here,
and today I have an exciting breakdown video for you, created by Covington on his YouTube channel, about how he created a realistic apocalyptic scene mainly done in Blender.
At CG Boost, we focus on creating and sharing content that is inspiring, while also encouraging you to continue taking practical steps in creating your own passionate 3D projects.
And I feel that this video serves this perfectly!
In the breakdown video he mainly uses Blender, Gimp, Quixel and DaVinci Resolve to create the scene, while sharing an easy-to-follow and condensed overview of his entire design process, including:
- Breaking down a complicated looking scene into simple shapes
- Modeling buildings
- Texturing techniques for adding damage, grunge and graffiti
- Creating believable asphalt
- Using Quixel vegetation and scattering with Geometry Nodes
- Adding old car scans for free from Sketchfab
- Adding story to your scenes and even a cool Easter egg
- Compositing and color grading in DaVinci Resolve
What I found really inspiring is how he shares his own disappointments with creating an ambitious 3D project like this and how he overcome this, by taking a break and learning to have fun again while creating.
I hope you find his video as inspiring as we do at CG Boost!
Stay creative!

Hey Reader, Zach here, If you are struggling to find the motivation to learn 3D, or if you have abandoned projects and courses half way, you are most definitely not alone. In fact, I believe it is the most common struggle all artists go through. This also happened to Tetiana Markov, one of our passionate CG Boost students and challenge participants. We were very excited to interview her, to share her story of how she overcame all kinds of self-doubt and got her work featured on Blender Nation...
Hey Reader, Zach here, For the past 6 years, our tutor Martin Klekner has been hard at work, exploring all the possible ways to create epic 3D environments in Blender. As a personal challenge, he tried it without the use of any paid add-ons, the results of all his research he accumulated in his Master 3D Environments in Blender course. 3D scenes you learn to create in the environment course. As Martin’s challenge and his course prove - making awesome, grand scale landscapes in Blender is...
Hey Reader, Zach here, You might know the fear of a blank 3D scene. Finding yourself just staring at the Default Cube in Blender and not knowing how to get to an amazing cinematic animation that you imagined. You’re not alone. Our instructor Cov Phillips has just released a very scary (it's a horror animation) video about dealing with such obstacles on his YouTube channel. In this video, he shares his creative process and vital tips on structuring and finishing a large project, by breaking it...
