Be sure to download the resources provided for each course, including this one! Each resource is a valuable tool to help you better understand the material covered in the video lectures!
Learn how to use six essential steps to developing your ideas.
Discover "Object Mode" where you can create new objects and move them around. You will also learn how to move your camera around your 3D space.
Learn how to enter edit mode, where you can create literally anything.
Learn how to use a useful command for cutting a selection in half. Understand two of Blender's best "modifiers".
Use the crease command to make parts of a subdivided object less smooth.
Get more practice with the tools we've learned so far.
Use the snap tool to move our 3D cursor and change our "Pivot Point".
Discover if your computer has a built in, dedicated graphics card that can reduce your render time.
How to view a rendered shot of your scene with lighting and textures applied.
How to save your rendered image onto your computer, image resolution and sample count.
Learn to add a single color to your objects.
Learn how to look for textures online that you can use without copyright infringement.
Tell your object where your image should show up on it with UV mapping.
Take your first step to making advanced textures by taking a look into nodes! (There is a video that covers this in more depth later, so don't stress to much about how complicated the resource looks for this section. We'll be going over it again!)
This lecture is long, but it covers the skills we've learned in rapid succession to help you remember them and apply them.
If you feel comfortable with modeling and texturing so far, feel free to skip this section. If you would like to see more examples, then watch on.
Start by moving an object from one place in your scene to another.
Use rotation in your movements, keep your objects organized, setup your scene to be ready to animate.
How to think through an action from beginning to end.
Fine tune your action.
Render your animation as a series of images so that you can see what it looks like!
You want to learn how to make your own animations, and you want to do it now! That’s why you’re here, and I’m so excited to have you!
I've been using Blender 3D for over a decade, and in that time I've learned that Blender is POWERFUL! The power of Blender comes from understanding the fundamentals , and I've spent years figuring out what parts of Blender are MOST ESSENTIAL for beginners to create their own content. I've taken years of learning and condensed it into a four hour course!
In this course, you will learn how to:
-Use the creative process to plan your animation from start to finish
-Create custom objects from scratch
-Understand how to find non-copyrighted textures for your creations
-Use textures to create stunning materials
-Animate your scene
-Give the "final touch" to your scene so it looks incredible
-Add sounds and music to your animation
-Export a finalized video that is ready to be posted online
From start to finish, you'll have the tools you need to create and finalize your own animations! If you have any questions throughout the course feel free to message me! For now—
Let’s get started! (Still deciding? There's a present for you at the bottom of the description!)
This course is so valuable! I had to spend years learning the very techniques I'll be showing you in this course because I didn't have someone to show them to me. I wish that I had had this course during my early days with Blender! I would have spent less time learning by trial and error and more time creating animations.
Not only do you learn about creating the animation, you also will gain insight on how to start your project on the right foot by learning crucial steps to outlining your animation. You'll understand how to refine your idea for an animation and turn it into a video that is ready to be shared with your friends, family, subscribers and followers!
This course focuses on creating the highest quality content in the shortest amount of time. In my early days of animation, I found creating good textures to be particularly difficult, especially with Blender's complex system for creating materials—but after months of looking I finally had to just create my own "recipe" for outstanding textures, and you'll get to learn it WITHOUT wasting months looking!
I also focus on creating a balance between quality and performance. Early on I didn't realize how quickly your computer can become overwhelmed while creating a scene to animate in. In fact, I had Blender crash a few times because even my high end rig copped out. But now I don't need a high end computer to create a great animation because a few of the tweaks I teach in this course!
Still mulling it over? Well congratulations for making it to the bottom of the description, a place few people dare to venture! Unless you're like me and you skipped ahead. Either way, as a reward, I'd like to offer an insane discount! Why? Because I need your help and you need mine. I need you in my course so that I can learn how to make it better, and you need to learn quickly how to animate. In exchange for my discount, all I ask is two things: 1. Message me in Udemy and tell me how to make the course better and 2. Rate and review the course so that other potential students know what to expect.
I can't wait to help you start creating your own amazing animations!
