Blender Total! From Basic to Advanced 3D!

About Blender Total! From Basic to Advanced 3D!

Blender is a free and open source 3D modeling and animation software that is highly versatile. Its lightweight yet powerful nature supports every stage of the 3D animation production process, providing users with a wide range of features and functionalities. In this comprehensive course, you will have the opportunity to explore not only Blender's intuitive interface, but also to understand the fundamental concepts that underpin this powerful tool. In addition, you will acquire practical skills in several areas, including:

Creating and transforming objects

to shape the virtual world according to your creative vision.

Using polygonal modeling tools

, enabling you to create your own custom objects.

Mapping, texturing, and creating materials

of various types—from simple surfaces to materials with PBR (Physically Based Rendering) textures that accurately reproduce the physical characteristics of real-world materials.

Mastering lighting and scene rendering techniques

using both the real-time rendering engine EEVEE and the powerful Cycles, which delivers high-quality results.

Exploring HDR (High Dynamic Range) image-based lighting

, which allows you to achieve realistic and atmospheric lighting effects in your scenes.

Setting up hierarchies between objects

to establish complex hierarchical relationships and efficiently organize your scene.

Bringing your projects to life with simple animations

, allowing your objects to move and interact within the virtual environment.

Learning to set up animation rigs using the Rigify Addon

, a powerful tool that simplifies the creation of complex and realistic animations. Throughout the course, all these topics will be covered from both theoretical and practical perspectives, ensuring you gain a comprehensive understanding of Blender's capabilities and can apply them to your own 3D animation projects.
