Course content

1 section • 7 lectures • 1h 9m total length

Introduction and user interface10:38
In this first lesson you will learn quickly to know the Blender interface.
Navigation, object mode and edit mode, modifiers10:16
In this second lesson you will know the main modality (Object Mode and Edit Mode) to manage a mesh geometry.
You will learn also how to navigate into the viewport and to introduce the first tools: the modifiers.
Modifiers10:27
In this 3rd lesson I'll show you the main modifiers, powerful and dynamic tools to modify quickly the geometry of a mesh.
Modeling exercise10:50
Try to model something with me. This is your first exercise!
Materials and Nodes10:32
It is the moment to talk about materials. Cycles, the Blender render engine, is a nodal engine. Learn to use the node to create complex and realistic materials.
Download for free, in attachment the LIGHT SETUP SCENE, a real virtual photographic set that will help you to create materials and light the scene.
Lighting, framing and rendering9:56
Compositing6:55
This is the last lesson of this short video course. I'll show you quickly how to modify the final rendering in post production, using a very useful nodal tool: the Compositing!

Requirements

no particular skills required, just using a computer (Windows, Mac OSX or Linux)

The video course does not focus on the details of this complex software, but addresses the topics that you need to get you working right away:
- understanding the interface
- modeling
- main modifiers and tools
- materials and textures
- lighting, framing and rendering
- compositing and post production

The books and the video course are realized by Andrea Coppola, one of the 6 Italian Blender Foundation certified Trainers (sorry for his English pronunciation in the videos...)

For FREE, included in the pack, the BHS SMART PBR PRO 2.0, the best material tool, witch you can use to build ANY POSSIBLE photo-realistic material in Blender Cycles! The full value of the tool is 19,00 euros!

Who this course is for:

Everyone likes to use fester Blender for 3d modeling
Who wants to have the basic of this great software to start and understand the logic
Who have idea to be a 3d artist and wants to understand if Blender is the best software to use
