This course comprises of over 30 years experience producing 3d content for leading brands across many industries, condensed into more than 18 hours of fun project based video content, carefully structured in an order that ensures you can become an advanced 3d artists in the shortest possible time.

In the course you’ll gain a solid understanding of:

3d fundamentals, allowing you learn complex aspects of 3d with ease, and transfer your skills to other 3d software
Blender 3d (versions 3 or 4, differences explained along the way)
Hard surface modelling (bevel modelling and subdivision modelling)
Sculpting – A thorough understanding of the sculpting tools available.
Materials and textures
Painting textures directly onto 3d geometry
Procedural texture projection
UV unwrapping
Procedural UV’s
Drivers
Baking
Modifiers
Constraints
Lighting
A deep understanding of animation and the animation tools Blender provides
Character modelling
Rigging (building driver based custom rigs to control your models with bones using FK & IK switching)
Character animation and interaction with other objects
Motion tracking video footage, modelling from motion tracking data, masking from motion data
Integrating animated 3d geometry with live footage
Working with audio (editing, timing & lip syncing)
Cycles Rendering
Compositing in Blender (post production)
+ MUCH more!

The course is suitable for complete beginners, advanced users wishing to refresh or get a deeper understanding of less familiar topics, and people moving to Blender from other 3d applications. Advanced users should be able to speed through the earlier videos, but I’d still recommend to watch through those sections, to ensure you’re prepared for the later sections.

The course is provided with approximately 7GB of supporting files, which includes assets used during the course, and the completed scene file for each section for those wishing to skip to specific topics.

Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
