Description

This course is dedicated to the application of materials and textures onto 3D objects in blender. The course guides you first through all the features of the easy to use blender render engine which is blenders internal renderer used for previewing objects in different materials before exporting to external game engines. We will also cover UV unwrapping different objects and how to use the features of the UV editor. After this the course moves onto the cycles render engine, covering in detail how to use the node tree and how to simplify your workflow and how to use nodes to create realistic materials for your scenes.

Who this course is for:

Aspiring artists how have learned how to model and looking to take the next step
Those who are reluctant to work with the complex looking cycles render
Great for learning how to create photo realistic materials that react to light effectively
Those who want to conquer the challenge of uv mapping
