Why does game development use Blender
+ Unity to create procedural worlds?
Studios and indie developers value creators who can build dynamic, ever-changing worlds while optimizing production time and resources.
This course will teach you how to:
Model modular 3D assets in Blender like a pro, ensuring seamless integration into game environments.
Utilize procedural generation capabilities in Unity to create endless variations of dungeons, mazes, and landscapes without manual design.
Combine art and code to create immersive, algorithm-driven worlds that feel hand-crafted.

Testimonials from our alumni
Alexey
Game Designer
This course has turned my idea of level design upside down! I now create complex dungeons in hours instead of weeks. I especially appreciate the balance between theory and practice - all the knowledge can be put to work at once.
Marina
3D artist
I was afraid of programming, but the experts explain C# in such a way that even I understood it. Now I can not just model, but immediately set up logic for my assets. My portfolio has been enriched with cool procedural projects!
Artem
Indie developer
Generating mazes through algorithms is magic! The course gave me a ready system, which I have already integrated into my game.
Olga
Technical artist
I was looking for a course that taught not just coding, but systematic thinking. Here is the perfect mix: modular modeling, optimization for Unity and tons of practice. Now my pipeline is much more efficient.
Denis
Aspiring developer
Thanks to the projects from the course I got an offer to a mobile studio! The employer was impressed that I can both model and write generation. The best investment I've made in recent years.
