Program Overview
Introduction:
Blender 3D is a powerful free open-source 3D creation software, which allows for 3D asset creation, animation, and rendering.
It can be used in any field that requires a digital 3D asset and is easily transferable to many other software’s such as Unreal Engine, Unity, AR/VR, rendering etc.
On this course you will learn the basics of Blender 3D Creation Suite which introduces modern digital asset creation techniques and an understanding of both the theoretical and digital manufacturing workflows used across creative industries such as VFX, architecture, product design and fashion.
You will learn and explore various methods for 3D digital asset creation, mesh manipulation, fixing techniques and basic outputs from Blender, such as models for 3D Printing & 2D Rendering.
This course is suitable for designers who are beginners to digital asset creation or those who have little knowledge of Blender and would like to learn professional outputs for their designs.
By the end of the course, you will have 3D Digital language skills and be able to create and edit geometry in Blender.
