Lesson 2 - Creating the Outline of the Stained Glass SVG
In this lesson, we will be sketching out a hummingbird within Photoshop and going over it again to create our stained glass. We are sketching out a hummingbird from scratch to learn how to take any reference and achieve the same outcome, whether it is a Kraken or a ship instead of a bird. You will learn how to use the brush and eraser Photoshop tools to create the outline of our stained glass.

Lesson 6 - Creating a Procedural Metal Material
In this lesson, we will be creating the procedural metal material using the Blender 2.9 node system. You will be learning about every one of these nodes and what they do as part of the process alongside helpful pop-up animations. The procedural metal material will be used as the material for the stained glass outline of our Hobbit Door scene window.

Lesson 9 - Importing the HDRI & Creating the Wooden Frame Base
In this lesson, we will be working on the frame of our stained glass window. We will be importing an HDRI to make sure we have a good lighting set up so that we can estimate how easily we can see through our glass. As part of this lesson, we will also be making a start on the wooden frame that will encapsulate our stained glass window as it features on our Hobbit Door.
-

Lesson 12 - Creating the Stone Blocks
In this lesson, we will be looking at how to transform a 2D object into stone blocks, quickly and easily. The focus of this lesson will be on learning how to make these stone blocks look alive and take on a realistic appearance, fit with grooves and uneven surfaces.
-
15
Lesson 14 - Creating the Stone Steps
This lesson will see us creating the stone steps using a mixture of array and empty primitives within Blender 2.9. We will aim to model the steps in such a way that they look like they cut into the landscape. In the end, we will have created a fantasy spiral staircase.
-

Lesson 16 - Creating the Hinges SVG
In lesson 16, we use the same techniques as we learned in the first lesson. However, this time, we will use a screenshot of our door to style the hinges around the shape of our Hobbit Door. Through this creation process, we will be trying to give the hinges an entangled root character to help them fit into the fantasy theme of our Hobbit Door scene.
-
18
Lesson 17 - Hinges SVG Curve to 3D model
This lesson will involve importing our hinges from Adobe Photoshop into Blender 2.9. After importing them, we will be turning them into workable meshes. This is an intense lesson where we also mark seams and add the materials.
