You know there is a 3D modeler hidden inside of you, that longs to create? The thought of learning a 3D-program seems a bit daunting? Then this class is for you!

Here you are going to create a 3D-printable pendant from scratch using the open-source program Blender. You will be able to create a fine piece of jewelry for yourself or a loved one. (Or any other object that consists of line art)

No prior knowledge or 3D printer required! Only pen, paper, your creativity, and a computer. Use of a mouse is highly recommended.

I have also a new absolute beginner course for Blender, where I go really slow and nice and easy, on how to get started with 3d in much more detail: https://skl.sh/3xw8S77

Useful links for this class:

Download the newest version of Blender

Download Inkscape

You will learn about the basic materials you are going to need, how to generate cool design ideas, how to digitize your sketch as a suitable svg file and finally - how to make a 3D-model from it!

You will need a computer with internet, a mouse, pen and paper, and your ideas! The rest I will go all over in the video. Some experience with Illustrator or Inkscape is a good plus, but not strictly required.

Included are a tons of tips and tricks from my own experience and of course, some of the mistakes I made along my way as a freelance 3D-designer, so you don't have to repeat them :)

Even designers who have some experience with 3D printing can benefit from this class, as I will share many helpful tips and tricks for the creative process along the way.

This is a workflow I have used successfully for quite some time now and it is a very easy way to get your drawings or signature into the 3-dimensional space. It can be used as the starting point of designing more complex things, and you will have a good basis on how to navigate in the 3D-space of Blender.

Blender is awesome for anything 3D and it is a super versatile program, so this workflow barely scratches the surface - please let me know if I should go more in-depth regarding its capabilities :)

Hint: I am offering 1-on-1 sessions now for anyone who wants to learn directly with me!
