Blender Environmental tutorials

Here are more tutorial results created in Blender on Environments.

Cavern 

The cavern tutorial went into detail and showed just how important textures are in making basic geometry turn out with more realistic. The actual geometry is a cylinder/tube with a plane for the water. The textures, mapping, lighting and effects add to the scenes detail.

Candle with a flame particle effect

The candle tutorial started off with modeling the candle the went into setting up the flame particle effect which has a realistic flicker. There are some places were this result can be tweaked like the flame glow but time restraints meant leaving it and completing the next tutorial.   

Swarm of Bees 

The bee swarm tutorial I enjoyed the most. First was building a really toony yet cute bee, then particle instancing the bee after animating it and repeating it's animation cycle with the Graphs editor.  This was the final tutorial I worked on and from there I went on with the environment image assignment.
