Blender Materials and Texture Series - Volume two
What you'll learn
- Create metal and plastic materials
- Create organic materials like skin
- Unwrap objects of different shape types
- Get objects to emit light
Requirements
- A basic understanding of the blender interface and how to create at least basic models is highly recommended before beginning the materials and texture series.
- Volume one should be completed before volume two is started but not a total requirement
Description
Welcome to volume two of the Blender material and texture series. This series of courses is designed to guide students from being beginners in material application for blender towards mastering the ability of creating any materials the student wants to create for any purpose whether that be for Pixar style animation or creating PBR materials for lifelike scenes.
In volume two we have a look at some of the more advanced tools in blender render such as the ability to manipulate an objects shading properties or actually having and object become a light source. The second stage of this volume will be focused on the process of UV mapping, which is a must know for anyone who wants to successfully texture 3D models. This is where we learn how to map out the 3D object onto a 2D UV grid so that we can begin the process of apply textures, which prefer a 2D surface rather than a 3D one.
Who this course is for:
- Those how are very new to the world of 3D modelling should start here if they are interested in materials application.
Instructor
Hello, my name is Joe Baily and I am a Udemy instructor who specialises in computer graphics software and sport coaching, quite a combination I know. I have been involved in computer graphics for several years where I have developed my skill sets in asset creation, 3D modelling, animation, game creation using tools such as Blender, Adobe, Gimp etc.
In addition I have also gained a great deal of knowledge in the field of computer coding with languages such as C++, java and HTML. On the flip side of this I have also worked as a sports coach as my official profession where I have worked in multiple environments from schools to sports clubs to summer camps. I have over 10 years experience in sport coaching and have coached football, tennis and athletics amongst many other sports.
