What are you going to gain by taking this course?
How the blender interface works and how to save and load your work.
How to move around a 3D space on a 2D screen
Adjusting an objects placement, the direction the object faces and its overall size.
Their are different methods for selecting objects and parts of an object, so lets see how we can use these select tools.

Learn fundamental tools such as joining or duplicating objects.
Learn how to reform the shape of your object into anything you want with these easy to use editing tools.

Modifiers are use as shortcuts for modelling, reconstructing our mesh in a seconds compared to the hours we might spend otherwise using simple modelling tools. Lets review the key modifiers that are used to construct most 3D models.

All objects possess material properties that define its color, shine and the way it reflects light. This lecture introduces how to give our objects materials and how to change the basic properties of those materials.
Blender is a fantastic animation suite. Once you have completed your model, try an animation with it in this lecture and render a sample image of your final creation.
A little thank you!
Interested in getting into 3D modelling but don't know where to start? don't worry, because this is the course to get you started on your journey in 3D graphic design. Blender 3D is an open source 3D modelling software that is free to download and use for anybody and everybody.
My name is Joe Baily and I am a 3D artist and have been using blender for several years as well as 2D software such as gimp and krita. This course has been created to act as the key that will open the door to an entire new skill set for you in the world of 3D modelling.
Reviews from current students
"Its really good to get the basics and you're pretty much ready to do stuff after. =D"
Rafael Antonio
"Great first course for how to use Blender. It gives a very high level overview of the capabilities of the tool and is paced just right. I would recommend this course to anyone who hasn't used Blender before. Nicely done!"

This course will focus on all of the core aspects of the software and how to get you started in using blender in as little as two hours or less. The course will act as an introduction to the following topics:
The Interface - How to use blenders panel based UI
Modelling - Creating models from basic objects such as a simple cube
Modifiers - Using modifiers as modelling shortcuts to get the desired results in a short space of time
Materials - Apply materials to objects to change their appearance and how the surfaces of an object react to light
Animation - Using keyframes and blenders timeline to create a simple animation with an object.
