Description

This course is designed to help those interested in learning 3D modelling using the Open Source software Blender.

The course has 8.5 hours of video tutorials. Part 1 goes through Blender's interface, providing you with a Guided Tour to many of the software's features (4 hours of tutorials). Part 2 takes you through a single modelling project starting with preparing background images, through the modelling process, creating UV maps, adding textures, lighting the final model and rendering out a single image (4.5 hours of tutorials).

If you want to get straight to modelling you can start with Part 2 and then go back to dip into relevant sections of Part 1. However, if you want to get a good grasp of what Blender is capable of, you can methodically work your way through Part 1.

In Part 2 look out for supporting files which include Blender files a key parts of the modelling stage, reference images of the camera being modeled and texturemaps used.

3D modelling can be quite difficult, so I encourage you to ask question amongst your peers and to myself for support.

The course is structured as follows:

Section 1 - Introduction to course
Section 2 - PART 1 - A Tour of Blender's interface and the many features inside.
Section 3 - Where to get Blender and installation.
Section 4 - Blender 3D interface.
Section 5 - Exploring the 3D View.
Section 6 - Using the Object Menu.
Section 7 - Object Interactive Modes.
Section 8 - Other Buttons on the 3D View base.
Section 9 - Properties Region.
Section 10 - Outliner and Properties Editor.
Section 11 - Using Reference Images.

Section 12 - PART 2 - Modelling a 1967 Nikomat FTn 35mm film camera.
Section 13 - Getting started on your first model.
Section 14 - Modelling the Camera Prism.
Section 15 - Lens Construction.
Section 16 - Adding details to the Camera Body.
Section 17 - Modelling the Viewfinder and Hotshoe.
Section 18 - Creating UV Map and adding Texture.
Section 19 - Lighting and Rendering Final Images.
Section 20 - Course Conclusion.

In all the are over 70 lectures in the course.
