In this course, you will become acquainted with Blender — an open-source 3D suite capable of everything from modeling to rigging and compositing. Such a range of functionality provides a seamless workflow for studios and a comprehensive learning platform for beginners.
While the internet is loaded with Blender tutorials, many tend to lack organization and bombard learners with an overload of details.
We streamline Blender, building a robust groundwork for your journey as a 3D Artist. To add some excitement, certain tasks are designed as Metal Gear Solid-like quests. This makes education not only comprehensive but also entertaining.
Open Source
Blender is a free software program. You can download and use it without the burden of licensing fees.
Versatile Features
Blender comes with a range of tools for modeling, animation, rigging, simulation, rendering, and compositing.
Helpful Community
Blender's community not only contributes to its evolution but also provides support and tutorials.
Regular Updates
Blender is constantly being improved, often introducing new features and tools ahead of its paid counterparts.
This introductory course is the perfect stepping stone toward a career as a 3D Artist. We will guide you through the creation of simple models in Blender and prepare you for more complex 3D courses to speed up your professional development.
