Make product ads this good.

The ad below is real. I made it for a client and it played at a festival. Now you build it yourself, blank scene to final cut, and end up with a piece you'd put in front of a client.

Real client work

That's it. Up on the big screen.

Most courses hand you a made-up practice file. This one doesn't. You rebuild the exact scene I delivered to the client. Learn this, and you can make one for any brand you want.

The work

This is the level you'll be working at.

The kind of work clients pay thousands for. All Blender, all the same pipeline this masterclass teaches. This is where you're headed.

All made in Blender. Free, open-source and industry-standard. Finishing done in DaVinci Resolve, also free.

The problem

Why it never comes together on your own.

You've seen product animation like this and thought, I want to make that.

Most people never do. And it's got nothing to do with talent.

A shot like this is a whole stack of skills that have to click together at the same time:

ModellingMaterialsLightingAnimationPhysicsLiquid simThe edit

Free tutorials hand you one piece at a time. So you end up with a folder full of half-finished tests and nothing you'd actually call an ad.

This masterclass is all of it. In order. On one real commercial. Empty scene to final cut.

What you build

By the end, the whole ad is yours.

This is the real thing, not a practice file. Polished enough to put in front of a client, or headline your portfolio.

You walk away with

A finished, edited product commercial, made the same way I made the real one.

  • The hero bottle, modelled from scratch, then reflavoured into the full lineup
  • Textured and UV-unwrapped so the plastic and label read as real
  • Three animated shots: an opening, a mid, and an outro
  • A rigid-body physics sim for the fruit around the bottles
  • A real liquid simulation of the bottles dropping into water
  • The whole thing edited and graded in DaVinci Resolve

The curriculum

Nine lessons. One finished ad.

4.5 hours. Empty scene to final cut, nothing skipped.

Course contents9 lessons · 4.5 hours
  1. 01

    3D modelling

    Build the Liquicoll bottles from scratch.

  2. 02

    Texturing & UV unwrapping

    Get the plastic and the label reading as real.

  3. 03

    Animating the opening shot

    Camera and product motion that looks directed, not default.

  4. 04

    Animating shot two

    Turn one shot into a sequence that flows.

  5. 05

    Rigid-body physics

    Drop the fruit around the bottles so it lands with real weight.

  6. 06

    Liquid simulationthe hard one

    The bit most tutorials dodge: the bottles hitting the water, splash and all.

  7. 07

    Animating the outro

    Stick the landing and close the ad.

  8. 08

    DaVinci Resolve setup

    The free, industry-standard editor, set up and ready.

  9. 09

    Compositing & edit

    Cut it, grade it, and finish the commercial.

You finish knowing the actual workflow the pros use, not a pile of disconnected tricks.
Who it's for

For the artist who wants to make the good stuff.

You know the basics

You can get around Blender. Now you want to make the slick, professional product stuff, not just another donut or default cube.

Stuck on the hard parts

You know your way around Blender but stall the moment it hits physics, fluids, or "why doesn't mine look professional?"

Building a reel

You want a finished, portfolio-grade piece, not another tutorial you watch once and never apply.

Fair warning: it moves fast and assumes the Blender basics. You build alongside me, not just watch. That's the point.

Before you buy

Do I need to know Blender already?
A little helps. You should be comfortable moving around Blender. You don't need physics, fluids, or the production side. That's what we cover. It moves fast, so plan to build along, not just watch.
What software do I need, and does it cost anything?
Blender and DaVinci Resolve. Both are free and industry-standard. No hidden tool costs.
After I pay, what happens and where do I watch?
Checkout is handled by Payhip (card or PayPal). The moment you pay, you get an email with instant access to all 9 lessons plus the .blend project files. You watch the lessons in your browser and download the files to keep. Nothing to install, nothing expires.
Is this a subscription?
No. One payment, yours forever, including future updates.
How long is it?
4.5 hours across 9 lessons. Go at your own pace.
Will I have something to show at the end?
Yes. A finished product commercial for your portfolio, built with the same pipeline the pros use.
