Begin the Blender 3D modeling course by starting a laptop project and outlining the approach to creating a 3D laptop.

Explore how to model a laptop in Blender using the in-scene reference, as level two previews the course structure, lessons, and teaching style in a quick, engaging project.

Learn to search for Blender, navigate to the proper download page, and download Blender 2.92, with guidance to download future versions as they become available.

Use reference images to guide your model, add a mesh cube from the mesh menu, then press s to scale along the z, x, or y axes.

Switch between object and edit modes in Blender, bevel edges with ctrl b, select edges with shift, and use a cube and reference image to shape a keyboard key.

In Blender, duplicate and shift keyboard keys to build a row, align using precise dragging, select multiple keys, copy across sides, and clean up extras for a complete keyboard.

In Blender 3D modeling, learn to model keyboard keys by scaling, duplicating, and aligning spacebar and shift keys, then join them into a single keyboard keys object for easier editing.

Learn to sculpt a Blender 3D laptop body by modeling the keyboard and base, adjusting the X, Y, Z scales, adding a touchpad and hinge, and detailing the screen.

Create a chunky laptop body in Blender, add a screen, apply image texture, adjust UVs, and refine with shade smooth, lighting, and subtle curvature.

Create a sleek laptop in Blender by coloring panels to black, adjusting specular highlights, and applying a simple logo built from a rotated plane with metallic material.
