Description
One of the top trend in UI design is using immersive 3D elements. However, learning 3D has been a challenge to most of the visual designers. This class aims to simplify and teach Blender for designers to understand and harness the power of 3D.Why You Should Take This Class:This class introduces Blender for UI and Visual Designers. The ability to utilise 3D graphics makes a content more interactive and informative. 3D illustration is a sought after skill and has always been in demand. This class simplifies the 3D process, by teaching the concepts that is most useful to designers.The lessons are aimed for visual designers having no prior experience in 3D design, So all the essential topics are covered by using interactive learning methods such as worksheets, practice exercises, and downloadable pdf guides for complex subjects.After completing this class, you will be able to understand the process of 3D design and confidently approach creating 3D elements for your own UI project.This class covers all the essential concepts of 3D such as creating and manipulating 3D objects, Lighting, Camera, designing great looking materials & methods for rendering. Followed with some tips and best practices.We will approach this class with a hypothetical project of creating 3D elements for a home service app or website. By Joining this class, you will have access to 10+ 3D icon models related to home services. After completing this class, you will be able to understand 3D design process and confidently approach creating 3D elements for your own UI project. Enrol Now & Let's Get Started!
