Overview

This course provides a basic overview of Blender's software interface and helps to develop basic 3D modelling skills.

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.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
