Asset libraries allow you to produce beautiful compositions without spending hours shaping every little detail. They’re a great way to experiment while also improving your creative process and time management. For 3D artist Fabian Oberhammer, also known as The Dizzy Viper, they’re fundamental to his work. His renders have seen him collaborate with car companies like Maserati, McLaren, and West Coast Customs, as well as with musicians like Excision, Skrillex, and Meek Mill.

In this online course, Fabian teaches you how to create believable nature scenes in Cinema 4D and Octane using Quixel assets and Forester. Design realistic vistas featuring details inspired by the world around you. Evoke the beauty and complexity of nature with simple yet cutting-edge techniques.

This is Fabien’s second Domestika course. In his first, Sci-Fi Scenes in 3D with Cinema 4D and OctaneRender, he teaches you how to use the same programs to design futuristic scenes.
