Navigate object and edit modes in Blender, switch between vertex, edge, and face selection, and apply extrusion, insertion, and bevel tools to shape geometry.
Find the correct perspective of a reference image using FSB software, then import the data into Blender to align a plane for clothes simulation and banner unrolling.
Learn to add an HDRI to a blender scene by loading an environment texture in world properties, adjusting strength to 0.5, and using a 4K HDRI from Polly Haven.
Convert a png image sequence to a video in Blender using the video editing tab, arranging frames, setting portrait resolution 1200x1800, and rendering the animation.
Blender 5.0.1 update shows how to create a new sequence in the video sequencer, align the scene, and add video, audio, and sound effects.
Capture a still from the raw footage, open fs5, and align the x and z axes to establish perspective; set the origin on the ground and enable the XY grid.
Analyze and track video footage in Blender using the Geo Tracker add-on, enable focal length estimation, create and align a plane to a building, then save your CGI project.
Composite CGI footage with a reference video by rendering frames, enabling GPU, and using alpha over with movie clip and viewer node to align and export the final video.
Apply video perspective by loading a reference image in FSP, align the x, y, z axes, enable 3d guides and x y grid flow, capture screenshots, and save the project.
Import fs5 footage into blender, install and import the fsb file with two options enabled, load raw footage as a background image, and set the output to 3840x2160.
Model a building in Blender by selecting edges, extruding along x, y, and z axes, adding a loop cut, and separating inner parts to fit an iPhone.
Learn to create a denim cloth effect in Blender using a plane, a pin group, subdivisions, cloth physics, collisions, and animation timing.
Add HDRi from Poly Haven as environment texture in world properties, enable cycle render, bake cloth dynamics, and use a shadow catcher with an area light for realistic lighting.
Optimize the final render by switching to GPU, reducing light paths and simplifying to 1024, enabling motion blur with a 0.2 shutter, and tuning tiling for faster renders.
In this course, you will learn how to create professional CGI and VFX advertisements using Blender, a powerful 3D software. This course is perfect for beginners and those who want to improve their skills. We will cover everything you need to know, from the very basics to advanced techniques, so you can create high-quality visual effects that look amazing.
Here’s what you will learn:
Blender Basics: Start with the fundamentals of Blender, including how to navigate the interface, create 3D models, and animate objects. We will guide you through every step to get you comfortable with the software.
Camera Tracking: Learn how to track real-world video footage and combine it with 3D elements in Blender. This technique is key for integrating your CGI into live-action scenes, which is commonly used in VFX ads.
3D Model Integration: Understand how to import and work with 3D models. You will learn how to place them in your scenes, animate them, and make them interact with the environment, making your advertisements look realistic.
Realistic CGI Creation: Create realistic lighting, shadows, and textures to make your 3D models and scenes appear lifelike. You’ll learn how to make everything from reflections to realistic materials.
Scene Optimization: Learn how to make your scenes run smoothly and render faster without losing quality. This will help you work more efficiently and produce your projects faster.
By the end of this course, you will have the skills to create stunning CGI and VFX advertisements with Blender. You’ll be able to produce professional-level visual effects for commercials, videos, or any project that requires eye-catching CGI.
