Navigate Blender’s interface with confidence, even as a complete beginner

Model clean, detailed 3D assets using industry-standard techniques

Use modifiers, mesh tools, and workflows to speed up production

Understand the basics of cloth and particles simulation

Texture your models with standard and procedural materials

Add lighting and cameras to prepare beautiful renders and animations

Animate objects and scenes for presentations or game-ready clips

Learn essential tips for optimizing assets for real-time game engines

Organize and manage a complete 3D project from start to finish

Build a project you can proudly add to your portfolio or demo reel

Requirements

A computer that can run Blender.

A mouse with a scroll wheel is highly recommended for easier navigation in Blender.

No prior experience needed – this course starts from absolute zero.

Curiosity and a willingness to learn.

Description

This course is built around one powerful principle: you learn best by doing. Instead of just watching disconnected tutorials or random examples, you’ll dive straight into a fully guided, real-world project — a stylized mobile forge scene, designed to teach you essential 3D skills in a logical, hands-on way.From the very beginning, you’ll start modeling with purpose. Each section of the course is tied to a part of the final scene, helping you see the bigger picture while mastering Blender’s interface, modeling techniques, texturing, materials, and even animation tools.You’ll build up a complete environment from scratch, one asset at a time — from barrels, tools, and anvils to complex props, decorative runes, and simulated cloth.You'll learn to:Use modifiers and modeling workflows to create clean, efficient geometryApply standard and procedural materials to bring life to your modelsAnimate simple objects and bring motion to your sceneRender images and animation for presentation or portfolioApply optimization techniques and export assets to UnityBy the end of the course, you’ll not only have learned the core tools of Blender — you’ll also have created an impressive 3D scene, full of personality, detail, and animation. This isn't just a technical exercise — it's a complete creative project, ready to be added to your portfolio, used in your own game, or shared as a personal achievement."Learn by doing" isn't just a motto — it's the method that gets results. You won’t just understand Blender; you’ll feel confident using it.Whether your goal is to get hired in the creative industry, build your own games, or simply bring your imagination to life, this course gives you the practical, job-ready experience you need — one project at a time.This course is recorded using Blender 4.2, ensuring you're learning with one of the latest stable versions.
