Description

Welcome to one the biggest and most comprehensive courses on Blender. First of all, if you are reading this, thank you for checking this out! I am so confident to say that this course is easily one of the best courses available for learning Blender. It is completely new (Most parts are in Blender 3.5 - 3.6) and will be updated with major releases of Blender.Why am I so confident? Let me give you a few reasons why this course must be on your shelf if you are learning Blender. - This course is big but free from unnecessary details and boring long videos. In this course, I tried to save your precious time by showing the most important things, options or operations in short videos (You really feel it when you are watching the videos). I did my best to put in as much information in a single short video as possible.- This course contains some information that you can never find in other courses such as "How to optimize your scenes in Blender so that it never crashes" or "Copying Assigning Linking Duplicating materials. Selecting by materials" all in one short video.- This course is much better suited for a "learner" because it addresses so many problems that you come accross on any project. For example, we learn "Proper collection instancing", "How to detect and fix flipped normals easily", "How to quickly remove dublicates", "How to clean up the .blend file", "object mode scaling issues" and many more. I know what problems you might face because I have been teaching Blender to students in person for years and they always have these same problems.- This course is project based. we are going to create 6 projects from scratch. I will show you everything from modeling to texturing to lighting and rendering.- There is a crash course at the beginning if you want to quickly see the general steps of creating projects from start to finish in Blender.- Although the course is mainly focused on 3D content creation, there is a whole section containing all the general information about every other feature in Blender, such as Animation tools, Geometry Nodes, Grease Pencil and more.So, if you are looking for the one course that covers everything in Blender, this course is all you need.Thank you, see you inside the course!
