About This Class

In this class we'll be modeling a simple UFO model in Blender that you can then use in a game engine like Panda3D for example. First, we’ll be modeling the body of the flying saucer and next its cockpit and lights. Finally, we'll add some materials to the particular parts of the model.

What Are You Going To Learn?

This is a class for beginners. You’re going to learn some basic tools and techniques used in Blender like:

the Subdivision Surface Modifier
smooth shading
vertex groups
extruding
adding multiple materials to an object

The lessons are short and clear, very easy to follow. You will learn how to use Blender to create simple models that you can then use in other software. You can also use the models inside Blender naturally as elements of larger scenes. I hope you will like the way the content is presented.

Who Is the Class for?

As I just mentioned, the class is for beginners. It's for anyone who would like to master the basics of modeling in Blender. In particular, I was creating it with game programmers in mind, so all of you who would like to learn how to create simple game assets yourselves for use in your games.

What You Will Need to Take This Class

To take this class you don't need much. Actually all you need is Blender installed on your computer. It's free, so go and grab it if you haven't yet.
