Explore blender basics by navigating the 3d space with orbit, smooth zoom, and pan; learn object and edit modes, selection methods, and essential shortcuts to build a stylized scene.
Learn to model a stylized house in blender by creating and shaping a cube, using loop cuts, duplicating and separating roof sections, and applying bevel and solidify modifiers, shade smooth.
Model a rounded door with an arch and a window in Blender, using bevels, edge loops, bridge edge loops, mirror modifiers, and smooth shading to create a stylized house component.
Learn to model a stylized house in Blender by adding a chimney and brick wall, and create a cartoon tree with a skin modifier, bevels, and linked duplicates.
Set the world background to a sky texture and use the cycle render engine with gpu compute, adjusting sun elevation, rotation, and intensity for lighting.
Apply and refine materials in a stylized house scene, adjusting base color and roughness, creating roof, chimney, window, and baseboard textures, and using live render view with a fill light.
Build a stylized water material in Blender using the shader editor, mixing glass BSDF with transparent BSDF, plus a bump and noise texture for ripples.
Rename objects and create collections to organize the scene, moving rocks, water, leaves, and house components into labeled groups for easy visibility and camera setup.
Learn to set up and animate a Blender camera, adjust focal length and depth of field, configure render settings and samples, and build a path-follow animation with a camera target.
Fine-tune stylized renders in Blender by adjusting camera angles, 85 millimeter lens, and background images. Enable denoising, apply filmic color management with medium contrast, and render animations for export video.
Hello there! Welcome to the Your First Day in Blender course.
This comprehensive course is designed for beginners with no prior 3D experience. You'll learn how to create an entire stylized scene from scratch using Blender.
We'll begin by downloading and installing Blender. Then, we'll cover the basics of Blender, including navigation in 3D space, object creation, and advanced selection methods. After that, we'll learn how to move, rotate, and scale objects. With this foundational knowledge, we'll start building the stylized house scene.
First, we'll model the base shape, followed by creating windows and doors. Next, we'll model the tree and other parts of the scene.
Once the modeling is complete, we'll set up lighting. With our lighting in place, we'll move on to adding materials to our scene. Then, we'll organize and clean up the scene. Finally, we'll set up the camera, animate it, and render our stunning animation.
So, let's dive right in and begin our exciting journey into the world of 3D creation!
This Course is Recorded in Blender 4.2 the newest version of Blender.
