Tired of learning Blender from random YouTube tutorials?
Starting Blender can be quite overwhelming, and learning from random YouTube videos can slow down your progress, since you won’t have a clear path to follow.

That’s why we created this course to teach you all Blender fundamentals in the most straightforward way, so you don’t miss anything important.

Learn navigation, modeling, texturing, animation, lighting, rendering and much more, while creating your own beautiful 3D animation with an easy-to-follow project.

P.S. We love the Blender content on YouTube, but save if for after learning the Blender fundamentals properly.

Chapter 4 & 5 – Modeling Fundamentals and Exercise

Learn all the important modeling fundamentals, workflows, tools and how to solve certain modeling problems. We will practice modeling by creating a car and environment assets, step by step.

64 tutorials | ~5:05 hrs running time

Chapter 6 & 7 – Shading Fundamentals and Exercise

Learn all important fundamentals on how to work with materials in Blender (this is called “shading”). We will practice shading by colorizing all assets which were modeled in the previous chapters.
