If you want to learn 3D from zero, meaning no prior experience needed at all. Then you’ve come to the right place. This course will teach you the fundamentals of 3D skills using Blender 2.8 or above. The curriculum in this course is carefully designed so that students can learn gradually from the easiest lesson to the more advanced lessons, seamlessly. After completing this course you should be able to model a robot like this, add materials to it, create lights, and then render it using the EEVEE rendering engine.

Basic transformation
Interaction modes
Basic mesh editing
Etc.

Part 2: Look development

Viewport shading modes
Rendering engines
Creating and using materials
Basic CG concepts
Using camera object
Surface smooth shading
Screen space reflection inside EEVEE
Etc.

Part 3: 3D modeling

Advanced transformation
Pivot point
Selection techniques
Inset, Extrude and Bevel
Knife and Bisect tools
Adding loop cuts
Patching holes
The basics of modifiers
Common 3D modeling mistakes
Normal direction
Manifold geometry
Point-to-point modeling techniques
Etc.

Part 4: Construction robot project

Volume sketching
The Basics of grease pencil
Special movement operations
The basics of the curve objects
Basic rigging with FK (forward kinematics)
Create global illumination in EEVEE
Etc.

== Hands-on projects ==

There are many hands-on projects in course. Such as:

Custom monkey head model using basic mesh editing
Adding materials to the custom monkey head model
Modeling a kindergarten chair
Create vases using spin and screw methods
Create a roman column
Model a toy train by leveraging the vertex snapping feature
Model a coffee table
Create a robot in the final project section. Covers 3D modeling, material, lighting and rendering with EEVEE

So join now and take your first step into the world of 3D using Blender!
