SESSIONS, Volumes I - IV

Every SESSIONS project is scoped to two hours or less, start to finish. Default cube at the start, finished render at the end, then on to the next one. Four courses and 23 projects later, you have a stack of finished work in four very different styles instead of one megaproject that never quite got done.

What’s in the bundle

• Vol. I: Minimalism (Kent Trammell, 6 projects). Stylized, graphic scenes built from almost no geometry: a ringed planet, looping patterns, a light-carved hallway, a concrete museum. Shading, lighting and composition do the heavy lifting.
• Vol. II: Macro (Kent Trammell, 6 projects). Tight, photoreal close-ups with heavy depth of field: tumbling dice, a slow-motion ocean, a dew drop, a piano, a faux laptop ad.
• Vol. III: Type (Jesse Kaizen, 5 projects). Typography and motion graphics with Geometry Nodes: glass tile grids, a molten-to-metal title reveal, animated keycaps.
• Vol. IV: Interior (Sascha Feider, 6 scenes). Interior scenes from a single lit stair step to a dusty vintage room, with procedural materials, cloth simulation and volumetric light.

Every course includes downloadable videos and project files for each project. Minimalism and Macro were recorded in Blender 3.3 to 4.0, Type in 5.0 and Interior in 5.0 to 5.2. The fundamentals (how light reads, how materials hold up close, what to model and what to fake) carry across versions just fine.

CG Cookie members already have all four courses in their library.
