The Ultimate Blender 3D Modeling Guide

Access free, professionally made textures for this course, including two-k and four-k options with color, roughness, and normal maps from the textures hub.

Access an interactive Blender shortcut keys cheat sheet featuring common keys with GIF demos and explanations, and search by term like grab or edit mode for quick reference.

Learn how to model a wine glass in Blender using the spin tool and subdivision surface modifier, including outlining, extruding, and merging vertices for a clean mesh.

Master blender's subdivision surface modifier to non-destructively smooth a wine glass, using Catmull Clark or simple subdivision, view and render levels, and loop cuts to sharpen edges.

Model gears in Blender by creating a circle, extruding and scaling around the 3D cursor, then apply an array modifier with an empty object offset to duplicate teeth non-destructively.

Explore the edge split modifier in Blender to remove shading artifacts on hard-surface gears and similar geometry, by adjusting the split angle to around 30 degrees for clean smoothing.

Explore how the boolean modifier in Blender punches holes, joins meshes, and engraves text on gears, using intersect, union, and difference to create varied gear designs.

Learn to model a chain in Blender using the array modifier and the curve modifier, manage curves and handles, and make the chain follow and bend along a curve.

Learn to model a wooden barrel using array and curve circle to wrap planks, refine with lattice and proportional editing, and finish with subdivision surface, lids, and bindings.

Model a sword in Blender 2.8 using reference images to block blade, base, and hilt, and refine with loop cuts, extrude, scale, and a mirror modifier.

Blender 3d modeling to finish a sword, sharpen edges with loop cuts and subdivision surface, and wrap a leather strap around the handle using the screw modifier.

Learn to model a cowboy hat in blender using image references, extruding from a circle and applying modifiers like mirror, subdivision surface, solidify, and proportional editing for smooth curves.

Explore three ring modeling methods in blender: a ring with circle and solidify wrap, a plane-based ring extruded and curved, and a skin modifier workflow with mirror and curve wrap.

Model an apple in blender by starting with a circle, extruding, looping cuts, applying subdivision surface, and using a lattice to squash and stretch.

Model a simple 3D building using a mirror modifier on x and y axes, box editing, loop cuts, extrudes, and an array for a scalable cityscape.
