In this video, I'm going to show you exactly how I made my windmill scene in Blender, keeping in mind that I'll be posting this as one of my portfolio pieces.

This project took me around 3 weeks from start to finish. The video took me about a week to script, record and put together. Hope you guys like what you see!
