BLENDER The Basics of Lighting and Shading for Sculptors

Hi! I’m Simone Rizzo, sculptor and concept artist in the VFX industry.
This tutorial is designed to help you present your digital sculpts with confidence, using Blender’s 4.4 built-in tools

In this first part of the series, you’ll learn:

✅ How to navigate Blender with ease
✅ The basics of Blender’s interface and viewport
✅ A clear explanation of light types (Area, Spot, Point, Sun)
✅ The basics of Materials and Shading, perfect for showcasing your work
✅ How I use lighting and shading together to achieve the result wanted.

I kept things simple and clean, using only Blender’s default tools so everyone can follow along, no matter their setup.
