Want to know how to get started into the world of 3D modeling, animation, games and visual effects? Create your first professional 3D models using the free and open-source software, Blender.

If you’ve ever felt intimidated or overwhelmed about learning a 3D software or if you don’t know how to get started in the world of 3D, this is the right course for you! Throughout the lessons you will learn all the fundamentals of working with Blender.

We’ll go through navigating the interface and moving around the viewport, you’ll learn the essential tools for working in 3D, I’ll show you the shortcuts you can use and some valuable tips I’ve learned through my own experience with the program, and after we’ve covered all the basic tools, we will work on your very first 3D model. Our first project will consist of building a toy train with the use of basic shapes and giving it some color. Then, we will go through more advanced modeling techniques such as Box Modeling, Edge Modeling, Booleans, Curves and Sculpting, as well as essential tools, handy shortcuts, and valuable tips drawn from my professional experience. Once we've covered all of that, we'll jump into our main project: crafting a complete chess set, piece by piece, using the methods and tools learned. By the end of this course, you'll have a stunning rendered image of the chess set and the skills to create more complex 3D models.

This course will cover Blender’s interface, navigating the viewport, doing transformations on objects, basic and more advanced modeling concepts, a little bit of animation, the creation of simple materials, lighting, and rendering.
