Hello everyone, I'm Marwan Hussein, and I would like to welcome you to this new course. Blender is one of the most powerful 3D software on the market, and it's free for everyone to use. When I started with Blender back in 2019, I didn't know the possibilities of this software and what it could do. As I began to learn, I found it amazing and easy to understand, with a user-friendly interface, especially for new users.

Now, almost all my online courses focus on Blender and how to create complex designs with it.

In this new Blender course, I will cover the most important things that every 3D artist should start with when using 3D software like Blender.

We will begin with:

Understanding the Software Interface: Blender has a very friendly user interface that is easy to understand and flexible. We will learn how to add objects, move things, understand the navigation system, and much more.

Modeling: I have divided the modeling section into four parts, from easy to complex. In the first section, we will create simple geometry. In the subsequent sections, we will gradually tackle more complex designs and scenarios. Knowing your tools is essential for creating anything in Blender. The modeling journey in this course is full of knowledge, with a dedicated section focusing on modeling step-by-step.

Commands and Techniques: In the modeling section, I will use a new technique to explain commands. As I create objects, I will give a special lecture on each command I use. This makes the learning process more fun and interactive. Topics covered include:

Adding objects and using the navigation system
Scaling, rotating, and moving objects
Object properties
Object mode and edit mode
Using Bevel in edit mode
Object shading
Face normal and selection types
Extruding in edit mode
Fixing face normals in Blender
Introduction to modifiers
Solidify modifier
Bevel modifier
Inset face command
Transformation orientation
Transform pivot point
Snap system in Blender
Subdivision modifier
Understanding Quads, Triangles, and N-Gons
Delete and merge menu
Mirror and lattice

The modeling section is extensive, and I've only mentioned a few highlights. After modeling, we will move on to unwrapping.

Unwrapping: This is a crucial step after modeling. Unwrapping prepares your creations to receive textures correctly. If not done properly, textures can appear distorted.

Adding Materials: Adding materials is essential to bring your geometry to life and make it realistic. Materials allow you to add color, make surfaces rough or glossy, give an appearance of age or newness, or mimic materials like glass or metal. We will apply materials step-by-step to the designs created in the modeling section.

Lighting: After everything is ready, we need to add light sources, just like in real life. Without lighting, you cannot render. We will cover all light sources in Blender, including environment lighting like skylight and HDRI lighting. Topics include:

Overview of light sources in Blender
Using spotlight, area light, point light, and sunlight
Emission light
HDRI lighting (High Dynamic Range Imaging)
Portal lights
IES light and its usage
Illuminating an interior scene with sunlight and spotlights
Creating volumetric lighting

Camera: Once everything is ready, setting up a camera is crucial as Blender requires a camera to render a scene. We will learn how to use the camera effectively.

This course is extensive, comprising 185 videos totaling 48 hours and 30 minutes of content. After learning all these elements, we will create an interior scene from start to finish, covering everything from modeling to rendering. This final project will help you understand the software more deeply, reinforcing all the concepts and skills you've learned throughout the course.

I hope you find this course useful, and thank you for reading.
