What you'll learn

UPDATED FOR BLENDER 4.x: Learn Blender at a professional level and model any object you can imagine

Master the entire interface and move comfortably in 3D space using Blender

Understand the structure of 3D meshes, polygons, and how to work with them

Model both high- and low-poly 3D objects in Blender

Use advanced modeling tools and build a professional toy as a final project

Learn Blender's internal structure and user interface components

Requirements

No prior experience with Blender or 3D design required. We start from ZERO.

A mid-range PC, Mac, or Linux computer for better performance

Blender 3D (free) must be installed — we cover installation in the course

Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.This course teaches you everything from scratch to help you model any object in 3D using Blender as your primary tool.You will confidently master the program and handle any modeling challenge like a pro.We start by studying and configuring the full interface, learning to navigate 3D space and transform objects.You’ll understand polygon structure and learn essential modeling tools.You’ll practice modeling real 3D objects, then dive into advanced modeling tools.We finish with a full project: modeling and visualizing a professional-quality 3D product.The course increases in difficulty progressively, helping you absorb each concept clearly. You’ll model high- and low-poly assets along the way.You get lifetime access to all resources and files, plus 24/7 support in the Q&A forum.You’ll also receive a scene 3D with professional lighting and background to render your final models with a realistic finish.What you’ll learn:Master Blender's interface and 3D spaceBuild high- and low-poly 3D assetsUse essential and advanced modeling toolsModel a Lego character and Thor’s HammerWho this course is forAnyone wanting to learn Blender’s 3D modeling tools at a professional levelBeginners starting from scratch with Blender 3DAnyone looking to learn modeling concepts and techniques with Blender
