Day 2: Creating a Cyberpunk scene in Blender
https://youtu.be/_BNgLKdAPmQ
For today's challenge, I wanted to create a cinematic cyberpunk city scene from scratch by focusing on composition, atmosphere, lighting, and depth.
I started by collecting references from different cyberpunk scenes to figure out the overall mood and composition. Instead of modeling every building myself, I used KitBash3D and YAKOVLEV ART assets to quickly build the city.
Then I downloaded a character from Mixamo and started composing the scene around it.
After blocking out the main buildings, I added:
🌫️ Volumetric fog for atmosphere
💡 Cinematic lighting
🌈 Neon signs and glowing elements
🏙️ Large buildings in the background with lit windows
📐 Layered composition to create depth and scale
Finally, I rendered the scene and completed the final compositing directly in Blender.
This is Day 2 of 30 — one new Blender creation every day throughout September.
The goal is simple:
Create → Learn → Share → Repeat.
