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! You can use these resource files in your own projects as well. Just open them up to see their 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. See you in the course, and happy blending!

My aim here on Udemy is to share helpful production tools, and share where I've had success with my experiments.
In my down time I'll take my Golden Retriever for a small hike, play a match of social tennis, or work on my wing drones: Foam based drones that have one propellor at the front, compared to the 4 that quad drones have.
Here on Udemy I enjoy helping students find solutions to complete their projects and turn their ideas into reality. Send me a message if there's anything you'd like to ask!

I run the Blender training website CG Masters. I have over 20 years of experience working with all different aspects of 3d art and animation. I've worked at the Blender Institute, and I've had my work and tutorials featured in many publications such as the magazine 3D World. I love Blender and I love teaching people how to use it.
