This book tells my 17 years of experience with Blender and the peaks and valleys I experienced during my development as a landscape designer. How my love for medieval buildings snuck in at a young age and it has never left me.One of the most frequently asked questions I get is how to get my inspiration and the motivation to shape the big 3D scenes. Over the past five years, I've tried to impart the craft to over 70,000 students, but never have I approached the core question in such depth as I have in this book.Behind every design are a story and a long run-up to giving it form. Every year I learned new techniques, but also came to insights that gave the work an enormous boost. Never have I been so open to sharing these insights, so valuable and precious to me. The book is meant to inspire and motivate, but also to get the most out of yourself and to understand yourself better.
