Complete blender course: From modelling to a short animation

Discover free and paid texture resources for blender projects, including PBR textures, patterns, and HDR packs, and learn to speed up texturing with bridge workflows between Blender and Unreal Engine.

Set up the robot for texturing by organizing parts into collections, renaming components, and preparing uv unwraps with seams to ensure clean texture mapping ahead of the texturing stage.

Texture a robot in Blender by layering rusted metal textures, ambient inclusion, and body paint, using Cycles shading, normals, and roughness in a PBR workflow.

Explore texturing a screen by creating glass with transmission and roughness, using gradient, wave, and noise textures. Apply mapping and node setups to control texture coordinates and add subtle imperfections.

Texture a prop for animation using cycles shading, node presets, and texture painting to apply full-resolution textures and refine roughness, color, and lighting for the scene.

Texture the cannon in Blender by enabling ambient occlusion, screen space reflections, and refraction, then build and apply metallic, roughness, and normal maps, painting a rusted, cohesive surface.

apply detailed lighting and shaders to a cannon model, using emission, glass, metallic, noise textures, and color variation, while refining geometry with skin, bevel, and subdivision surfaces.

Rig a target in blender by creating an armature with bones, binding objects, and using a target group for easy selection; then pose and constrain movement for realism.

This lecture demonstrates cannon rigging in blender, guiding you through creating an armature, parenting bones with keep offset, applying ik rigs, axis limits, and visualization tweaks for clean, responsive animation.

Rig a robot in blender by adding an armature and bones in edit mode, establishing parent-child relationships. Use pose mode, inverse kinematics, and constraints with an empty for controlled animation.

Start building the scene by adding a reference centerpiece and organizing assets into collections, then block out the environment with extruded, mirrored geometry to prepare camera work.

Continue building the blender scene by adding walls, a roof, windows and a door, applying mirror, array and boolean modifiers, and refining geometry with bevels and extrusions.

Apply textures to the entire scene with bevels, UV mapping, ambient occlusion, and displacement to create believability across concrete, metal, brick, and glass surfaces using bridge assets.

Learn to build a warehouse scene in Blender by adding props, crates, and shelves, organizing assets, and refining textures and UVs for a believable camera-ready shot.

Enhance a Blender scene by adding bricks, debris, and props, and refine with particle systems, collision, cloth, and textures for a richer, believable environment.

Create and reuse a retracting animation in blender using the action editor and dope sheet. Set location keyframes with linear interpolation to control animation speed.

Move the robot to its default position, then delete the retracting animation in the action editor. Adjust the scale, hide unused props, and refine playback in the timeline.

Explore rough animation layout in Blender as you plan four shots, establish camera setups, and refine a retracting robot sequence with timing, lighting, and upcoming particle effects.

Add cannon animations and camera movement to refine the scene, using paths, constraints, and graph edits to control cannonball motion, recoil, and timing for a polished short animation.

Add a shooting bullet sequence and polish camera work in Blender by setting up paths, keyframes, and visibility tweaks to deliver a dynamic, well-timed shot as the targets fall.

In Blender, add the falling targets and reloading animation for a cannon sequence, refining recoil, timing with keyframes and dope sheet for a smooth, energetic shot.

Polish the robot animation in Blender by refining timing with the graph editor, adding noise for natural motion, and adjusting camera, visibility, and constraints for a polished short animation.

Explore depth of field and camera tricks to enhance look and storytelling, polish the animation, and add visual effects using Blender's depth of field tools and focus setups.

Explore lighting a Blender scene with an HDRI environment, position sun and area lights through windows, refine glass shaders and reflections, and craft a cinematic mood for a short animation.

Learn to texture a robot model in Blender, change the eye color during action, and tell a story with props by adding lighting, normals, bump maps, UV mapping, and shading.

Learn to build a flame effect in Blender by configuring emission shaders, gradient textures, color ramps, and noise, then fine-tune mapping, transparency, and rotations for realism.

Import the png sequence as an image strip in Blender, adjust frame rate and aspect ratio, and render the final animation before saving.
