Description
Welcome to The Blender Encyclopedia, the most comprehensive training course available for Blender, a completely free and open source 3D production suite.
Our aim with the course was to make an expanded version of the Blender Manual, that you can follow along or reference at any time in your 3D journey.
Further than the tools alone, we've made sure this course contains not just the how, but the why. Throughout the course, we've crafted example demos, as well as step-by-step projects, that will take what you've learned and form it into a practical example.
You can get all the Blender files used in the lectures, complete with models, textures and other resources. This includes starting files so you can join in! Just open the Blender file for license details, if any.
We have created this course specifically for Udemy, and you will have unlimited support from us in the Q&A section of each lecture.

I've had a passion for 3D and video game creation since I saw Toy Story as a kid, and got my first game console. I started my computer graphics journey with Blender, and have been blessed to work as a Technical Animator for over 10 years at various studios.
Even early on, I enjoyed sharing what I had learned by making tutorials for the Blender community. So along with fellow trainer Christopher Plush, co-founded the 3D training website CG Masters.
