What you'll learn

You will become pretty comfortable with Blender. You will also be able to follow up other advanced tutorials with much more ease.

Requirements

One should be able to install Blender 2.7x on his own. Also, the recordings have been shot on a PC so if you are a MAC or linux user, you need to adjust the keys accordingly (eg- command instead of control).

Description

This is the age of information. There are a lot of videos online about learning the basics of Blender. But I discovered over the years that most of them preach about tips and tricks to make a very specific object or item. 3D modelling is a trial and error process. One should be aware of not just how to operate the software but also about how to approach an unknown situation. This is what I mean when I say "intuitiveness". One must experience different kind of challenges in order to develop that intuitiveness.

I used to learn about 3D modelling from books and though it took a long time to learn from them, I learnt that in the long term it was better than do it quickly videos. The differences was the richness of the content in books. Now in this course, I have tried to develop not just your 3D skills but also your ability to develop approaches for different kind of scenarios, which makes it a lot richer than the traditional set of how to videos.

In this course, we will go through

- Basic functions in Blender and the user interface

-The process of blocking everything with basic shapes.

-Then we will model different kind of meshes in edit mode.

- Then we will learn how to make different kind of materials and compare them with one another

- We will also learn how to map and mask different textures into one another

- We will learn the basics of using modifiers

-Then there is the final project in which all the skills learnt will be tested

- And ultimately there is the Ultimate beginners challenge that requires a lot of creative thinking to solve

So if you pass the ultimate challenge by yourself, you are already pretty good at this and you should continue in the field.

Nonetheless I hope you enjoy this course. I will keep uploading new videos as and when required.
