Introduction to Blender

Until now, that is!
This introductory course for Blender is probably the easiest 3d modeling course ever!
If you think you are among the faint of heart and too nervous to try computer 3d, this course is for you!

We will be modeling a cartoon village and you will be surprised how few tools it takes for you to become confident and even model your own items.

During the first lesson we will start with a basic house which goes through pretty well all the tools we will be using during the entire course.
Then we will make different variations of that house by sticking them together or resizing them.
We will also build a couple of simple highrises to complete the scene.

The scene will also have things like street lamps, hydrants, traffic lights, mailboxes, electricity poles, fences, garden gates, trees and bushes and with these items, we will be creating an entire village, all of them will be modeled during the course, and you will be surprised how simple that is.
I will also show you how to take good screenshots of your village and how to do a fly-through/ walk-through camera animation.

This course gives you an excellent head start if you decide to move up to any of my three full-feature Blender courses, which are:

“Architectural Modeling and Rendering in Blender”,
“Modeling the Tabernacle in Blender”, and
“Modeling a First-Century House in Blender”.

The way all my courses work is that you watch what I’m doing during class, then I will send you a full-length video of the complete lesson and your homework is to work along with the video to build what I built during the lesson on your own time.
If you miss a class that should be no problem because you would still get a video and watch it as if you would have been there.
The greater number of my students take the entire course just by watching the videos without attending.
This way there are no scheduling problems and you can go on vacation any time you want during the course without missing anything.
There is no pressure to keep up with the course if you fall back.
You will have all the videos on in your possession to complete the course at your own convenience.

A mouse with a scroll wheel is a must, but graphics tablets or a stylus of any kind are neither useful nor needed for this course.

You need to have the most basic computer skills like creating folders and finding them again on your computer and knowing how to unzip downloaded files. It is also expected that you are comfortable using the scroll wheel and know how to “click and drag” and do combo key strokes.

If you buy the entire course (13 lessons) at once, you will get it at a reduced rate of $30 USD per lesson.
As an alternative you can pay monthly at the regular cost of $35 per lesson.

Both options include one-on-one zoom help if you get stuck.
