The result

What you'll have made.

A recognizable can, shot like a real product spot. Four shots, cut into one commercial. Not a donut, not a study. Yours, built from scratch, ready for your portfolio. And because everyone knows this can, anyone can see your render looks right.

The pipeline

One object. The whole pipeline.

Most tutorials teach one slice and leave you guessing how it connects. Here you take one can through every stage: model, texture, light, animate, render, grade. One connected build, so the pieces click into place. That join between the steps is the part nobody shows you. It's the whole reason this course exists.

All made in Blender. Finished in DaVinci Resolve. Both free.

The problem

A folder full of half-finished renders.

You can follow a tutorial fine. On your own it falls apart, and your renders never quite look real.

never finish anythingrenders look faketutorial hellfine with a tutorial, lost without oneno portfolio piece

You don't need another technique. You need to finish one thing, start to finish. Once.

What you get

What you'll walk away with.

Not a pile of notes. An actual finished piece, and the know-how that made it.

You walk away with

A recognizable product ad, four shots, that you built yourself and can show anyone.

  • A finished can commercial you built end to end
  • The full Blender-to-Resolve pipeline, on one object, so it sticks
  • The .blend file, so you can check your work against mine
  • The nerve to start from a blank scene and know what to do
  • Materials that read as a real can, not a grey mock-up
  • Lighting that makes the render look photographed, not drawn

The curriculum

Eight lessons. One build.

1 hour 53 minutes. Each lesson hands the can to the next, so it's one build, not eight topics.

Course contents8 lessons · 1h 53m
  1. 01

    Getting started

    Scene set up, and where we're headed. You're building in minutes.

  2. 02

    Modelling the can from reference

    The big one, around 28 minutes. Build the can from reference so the proportions land right.

  3. 03

    Texturing and UV unwrapping

    Real brushed aluminium and a label that reads as a product. Where it stops looking like a model.

  4. 04

    Lighting and camera setup

    The step most people skip. Light and frame it like a paid spot, so it looks photographed, not drawn.

  5. 05

    Animating shots 1 and 2

    The first two of four shots. Keyframed to feel like a commercial, not a turntable.

  6. 06

    Animating shots 3 and 4

    The other two. All four done, cut into one short ad.

  7. 07

    Rendering and compositing

    Render clean out of Blender, bring it together in Resolve. Both free.

  8. 08

    Colour grading

    Grade it in Resolve until it looks like a real ad. Hit export. Done.

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

Is this the right one for you?

You know a bit of Blender but never finish

You can move around Blender and you've done the tutorials. You've just never finished one. This fixes that.

You want a portfolio piece, fast

Something real to show this weekend, not after a month of study. One can ad, done.

You're tired of scattered tutorials

See how modelling, lighting, animation and grading connect, on one object, in one sitting.

You're chasing your first paid render

Product renders are the sellable skill. No income promises, just a finished ad to put in front of people.

Heads up: want the deep end (a client commercial, liquid sim, physics)? That's my Product Animation Masterclass. This one's the on-ramp. Start here, move up when you're ready.

What it's worth
What you pay today
The Red Bull course$49$39

A one-time payment, lifetime access. The launch price knocks 20% off during the launch window.

What one product render can go for
A basic freelance can render$20 to $50

Product renders are the sellable skill. Not a promise, just what this kind of work tends to go for when you're starting out on sites like Fiverr and Upwork.

When you're ready for the deep end

The advanced 4.5-hour one, with liquid simulation and a full client-grade commercial. Come back for it once you've finished this.

Finish the whole thing first, then decide

Try it for 30 days. It's under two hours, so you can watch every lesson, build the whole ad, and still get a full refund if it wasn't worth it. Most courses can't say that. Email me, I'll refund you. No questions. The risk sits with me, not you.

FAQ

Before you buy

Is this too advanced for me?
No. It's for someone who knows a little Blender and keeps stalling before the finish. Step by step, foundation first. Done the donut? You're ready. The advanced stuff (liquid sim, client work) is my Product Animation Masterclass.
Why pay for this when YouTube is free?
Free tutorials are scattered and full of gaps. That's why you keep not finishing. This is one connected build, in order, on one object, so it actually joins up. You're paying for the finish, not more guessing.
It's under two hours. Is that really enough?
It's the whole pipeline, nothing padded. Two hours of building beats ten of a guy thinking out loud. Plus you keep the .blend file and get lifetime access.
Will I just copy along and learn nothing?
You build it with me, but on one object end to end you see why each step happens, not just which button. And the file's there to check your work against mine.
What do I need to buy or install?
Just Blender and DaVinci Resolve. Both free. The course is your only cost, and you keep the project file.
Does it work on Mac and PC?
Yes. Blender and DaVinci Resolve run on Mac, Windows and Linux. If you can run them, you can do this.
How long do I keep access?
Forever. Lifetime access plus future updates.
Is this actually Red Bull, and can I sell the render?
No, not affiliated with Red Bull. We build a can in that recognizable style so you learn the look. The render's a personal portfolio piece. Don't put real logos on paid client work.
What if it's not for me?
You've got 30 days and a no-questions refund. Watch it, build the ad, and if it wasn't worth it, email me for your money back.
