Turn Any Scene Into the Upside Down | Blender Tutorial

In this Blender tutorial, I show how to turn any scene into the Upside Down, inspired by Stranger Things.

This breakdown focuses on cinematic techniques for creating the Upside Down look — including lighting changes, material variation, volumetric fog, growing vines, floating ash particles, and subtle animation using noise.

Instead of overly complex setups, the goal is to focus on mood, atmosphere, and visual storytelling so the process stays flexible and reusable across different scenes.
