Course content

2 sections • 16 lectures • 1h 23m total length

Introduction0:32
Learn how the initial modeling section uses Blender 2.92, while the rendering part reflects Blender 3.0. The instructor notes discrepancies between parts and clarifies the updated workflow for new users.
2. PureRef2:55
Model a Geordi La Forge visor in Blender for beginners, exploring multiple styles, bevel details, and side profiles to choose the metal, hard-edge look.
4. Image Editor2:04
Organize reference images by arranging multiple image editor windows in blender 3d, add images, and adjust layout to place a central reference, then maximize and preview the setup.

5. Make Visor Part 15:34
In Blender, create a visor by adding a circle, extruding and snapping to align vertices, then mirror the mesh, remove doubles, and refine faces to form the visor part one.
6. Make Visor Part 24:07
Create Geordi La Forge visor by selecting geometry, extruding, adjusting x and z scales, applying scale, and using a boolean with a cutter cube; hide and delete the cutter.
7. Make Visor Part 36:00
Analyze visor topology and compare boolean methods, fix geometry by filling gaps, removing doubles, and recalculating normals to ensure correct shading.
8. Make Visor Part 43:53
In Blender 3D, make the visor's top and bottom plates by selecting controls, using mirror clipping, extruding at a slant, and adjusting thickness with wireframe snapping.
9. Make Visor Part 52:40
In Blender 3D, rename the plate and visor objects, disable magnet snapping, switch to wireframe, and use P to separate selections, ensuring modifiers are named correctly.
10. Make Visor Part 611:43
Learn to fix a Blender 3d visor after booleans by repairing topology, adjusting auto normals, and beveling edges. Use the mirror with clipping and shading adjustments for a metal look.
11. Make Visor Part 710:26
Model the visor in Blender 3D by adding cylinders, adjusting vertices, duplicating and joining parts with Control J, applying scale, and mirroring the result.
12. Make Visor Part 89:51
Model a visor in Blender using edit mode, cuts, bevels, and loop cuts, adjusting edges to balance sharpness and gaps, with a low-poly human model as practice.
13. Make Visor Part 96:30
In this part, select the target object with the object picker for the mirror modifier, then apply transforms, adjust scale and rotation, clean up geometry, and delete faces.
14. Make Visor Part 101:02
Master a visor model in Blender with a quick, step-by-step approach, practicing one part at a time, improving speed from about 20 minutes to 5 minutes.
15. Visor Render Part 14:28
Learn basic shading in Blender 3d 3.0, merge objects with ctrl j, apply noise texture with color wrap, and explore interpolation modes for visor render part 1.
16. Visor Render Part 23:42
The video shows joining objects in Blender, explains the purple appearance, and introduces SDF as a principle with base color changes, edit mode, and control J merging.
17. Visor Render Part 37:46
Apply metal materials to the visor by deleting extra materials, setting base color, metallic value, and roughness, and experiment with iron-like textures while reviewing render samples and light sources.

Requirements

Basic understanding of Blender's editing tools.

Description

This course is primarily for new users to Blender, who want a small project to help them assess 3d/CG modeling and Blender software.

The first way to evaluate any 3d software is to make something. Is it easy? Is it difficult? Do you have to run all over the UI? How many steps does it take to do anything? Most important, can you remember hotkeys or would you rather go the long way? These are but a several questions to ask yourself.

This introduction tutorial only covers how to make a basic object within Blender’s Edit mode and use a few editing tools.

Expect to make an easy and iconic object. There are other methods to make the visor or nearly anything else for that matter.

I do experience a brain "hiccup" or two, but nothing major.

If you're using Blender 3.0+, when you render, it should be the same. Even if you're not following my exact steps, no matter, just hit F12. The point is too see how CLEAN of a renderer Cycles is...wow.

Instructor's UI is slightly different and I use Blender keymap 27x... pay no mind...with Blender's default keymap, you'll be able to get in and out of object and edit mode.

I am a former stroke victim, despite the speech issue, students will be able to understand everything.
