If you want to learn 3D from zero, meaning no prior experience needed at all. Then you’ve come to the right place. This course will teach you the fundamentals of 3D skills using Blender 2.8 or above. The curriculum in this course is carefully designed so that students can learn gradually from the easiest lesson to the more advanced lessons, seamlessly. After completing this course you should be able to model a construction robot like in the course cover image, add materials to it, create lights, and then render it using the EEVEE rendering engine.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

You are going to learn so many things in this course. They are just too many to cover in this short introduction texts. But just for a quick summary. The course is divided into 4 parts.

Part 1: Blender essentials

Basic transformation

Interaction modes

Basic mesh editing

Etc

Part 2: Look development

Viewport shading modes

Rendering engines

Creating and using materials

Basic CG concepts

Using camera object

Surface smooth shading

Screen space reflection inside EEVEE

Etc

Part 3: 3D modeling

Advanced transformation

Pivot point

Selection techniques

Inset, Extrude and Bevel

Knife and Bisect tools

Adding loop cuts

Patching holes

The basics of modifiers

Common 3D modeling mistakes

Normal direction

Manifold geometry

Point-to-point modeling techniques

Etc

Part 4: Construction robot project

Volume sketching

The Basics of grease pencil

Special movement operations

The basics of the curve objects

Basic rigging with FK (forward kinematics)

Create global illumination in EEVEE

Etc

HANDS-ON PROJECTS
