003_Adding the reference image10:03
004_Start modeling the handle12:36
005_Creating the low poly shape of the handle19:43
006_Using Bevel to define the edges sharpness19:50
007_Finishing one side of the handle9:05
008_Creating metal plate under the handle16:54
009_Creating the handle ring16:21
010_Creating the plate holder step one19:44
Model a plate holder for a utility knife in Blender by constructing the geometry with extrudes and cuts, bevels, and a mirror modifier for a clean, symmetrical finish.
011_Creating a crack for the blade20:53
012_Creating the nail nick9:24
Begin with a cylinder, the nail neck on one side, set radius and depth, increase vertices, and snap the 3D cursor to the base to scale from that pivot.
013_Creating the release button14:26
014_Using bevel modefire on the nail nick and the release button.11:51
015_Creating the blade and mirror the nail nick12:43
016_Adding holes for the pivot circle14:37
Create three holes on the pivot circle using cylinders, position with the 3d cursor, and duplicate around. Use boolean difference with mirror, bevel edges, auto smooth, and weighted normals.
017_Creating the lock button hole13:15
Create a lock button hole for a utility knife in Blender by modeling a cylinder, using boolean difference, refining to quads, and smoothing for roundness.
018_Creating the screws holes21:58
Create two screw holes in a Blender model by adding cylinders and applying a boolean modifier, then refine topology with bevels and shading for a smooth result.
019_Creating the lock button and the screws10:51
020_Adding new holes to the grip blade16:01
021_Working on the other side of the grip and make it ready21:03
022_Creating the pocket clip13:18
023_Fixing some shading issue using Data Transfer modifier11:56
024_Setting up the scene and adding an HDRI image with a light source15:18
Create a Blender scene for a utility knife by building a background plane, using a bend modifier with an empty pivot, and lighting with hdr image and spotlight in cycles.
025_Creating a material for the ground7:20
Create a concrete ground material in Blender using a Poly Haven texture. Connect the diffuse, normal, and roughness maps with color spaces and mapping in node Wrangler to control scale.
027_Creating radial brushed metal material19:06
026_Creating material to the handle12:34
028_Creating brushed material for the blade and the blade holder20:25
029_Creating material to the pocket clip and for the screws20:52
030_Adding edge wear for the handle16:37
031_Adding edge wear for the other parts22:24
Learn to add edge wear to a Blender utility knife using layered materials, noise textures, bump maps, and ramps for plates, cracks, and screws.
032_Adding Blender logo to the blade13:24
033_Preparing the environment and the lights to render the first image28:10
034_Render the final image15:56

Description

Class Overview:

Hello everyone, my name is Marwan Hussein, I'm a 3D artist, and I have been in this field for 10 years now, I would like to welcome you to my new Blender course, in this course we will learn how to create a Utility knife from start to finish using Blender 3.3

What You Will Learn:

in this course, we will focus on modeling, and we will learn how to create hard-surface modeling using simple easy techniques,

in the modeling section, we have a lot of tools make the modeling process faster and easier, we will focus on that to get a nice-looking 3D model without any shading issues.

after the modeling section, we will learn how to create simple nice realistic materials for the knife, I'm not going to unwrap the model but I will teach you how to create procedural textures and I will teach you how to apply these materials on the objects without unwrapping them.

after that we will learn how to create a nice simple scene to take the final shot for the knife, we will learn how to create soft lighting with a nice camera depth-of-field effect to make the final result looks more professional.

After that, we will learn how to use the compositor to post-process the final image and we will use Photoshop as well in case you want to use photoshop for post-processing.

Why You Should Take This Class:

If you are interested to create products with nice real presentations this course might be useful for you.

If you want to learn hard-surface modeling this course might be useful as well

If you are looking for short straight-to-point courses this course might work for you.

Who This Class is For:

This course is for anyone who wants to use Blender to create hard-surface modeling and get realistic render results.

If you are a beginner you should know the basics before you start, because it might be a bit difficult to you to follow me.

Materials/Resources:

I will leave the resources inside a section I will call ( Resources )

Who this course is for:

This course for anyone wants to create nice simple realistic hard surface model.
