Blender: 3D Modeling Fundamentals - Part 2 Training Course

Blender is an open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D printed models, interactive 3D applications and video games.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at artists, game developers, or complete beginners who wish to use Blender to create 3D models for interactive applications, video games, animated films, etc.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

Learn how to create animations and visual effects with Blender.
Add curves, surfaces, metaballs, and hair particles to simulate realistic 3D motions.
Introduction to non-destructive modelling and animation.
Export 3D models and assets to a game engine, 3D printer, or other software.

Format of the Course

Interactive lecture and discussion.
Lots of exercises and practice.
Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Learning about the software

Peter - Coleg Cambria

Course - Blender: 3D Modeling Fundamentals

practical examples and troubleshooting of real problems (during creating real projects, games, etc.), I mean good practice and how the real project work looks like

Course - VR rapid prototyping in Unity3D for architecture showcasing

I liked the fact the all the questions we prepared beforehand were answered; also the 90 minute challenge to create a little game at the end was a good fun!
