Course description

Blender is a powerful, open-source 3D modeling and animation software that offers a wide range of tools and features. It is widely used in the film, game development, visual effects, and animation industries. Here's an overview of Blender's key components and capabilities for 3D work:

3D Modeling: Blender provides a robust set of modeling tools for creating 3D objects and characters. You can use polygonal modeling techniques to build and shape objects or utilize sculpting tools for more organic and detailed models. Blender also offers advanced features such as edge loops, subdivision surfaces, Boolean operations, and retopology tools.
Texturing and Shading: With Blender, you can apply textures and materials to your 3D models. The software supports UV mapping, where you can unwrap the model's surface to create 2D texture coordinates. Blender's node-based material editor allows you to create complex shading networks and apply realistic materials with textures, reflections, and other visual effects.
Rigging and Animation: Blender provides a powerful armature system for rigging and animating 3D characters. You can create skeletal structures with bones and control the deformation of the mesh using weight painting. Blender's animation tools enable keyframe-based animation, where you can set keyframes for object transformations, manipulate curves, and create complex character animations.
Physics Simulation: Blender includes a physics engine that allows you to simulate realistic physics effects such as cloth, fluids, rigid bodies, particles, and more. You can create dynamic simulations for objects interacting with each other and with forces in the virtual environment. These simulations can add realism and dynamics to your 3D scenes.
Lighting and Rendering: Blender offers a comprehensive set of lighting and rendering tools to create visually stunning renders of your 3D scenes. You can use different types of lights, adjust their properties, and set up global illumination and reflections. Blender's rendering engine, Cycles, utilizes ray tracing to produce realistic renders, while the real-time engine, Eevee, provides fast and interactive rendering. Additionally, Blender supports third-party renderers such as Arnold and LuxCoreRender.
Visual Effects and Compositing: Blender includes a node-based compositor that allows you to combine and manipulate images, videos, and 3D renders. You can apply effects, color grading, and filters to enhance your final output. Blender's VFX capabilities also extend to features like chroma keying, camera tracking, and motion graphics.
Scripting and Customization: Blender offers a Python API that allows for automation, scripting, and customization. This enables users to extend Blender's functionality, create custom tools, and automate repetitive tasks. Blender's open-source nature encourages community contributions and the development of add-ons that can enhance the software's capabilities.

Blender is a versatile 3D software with a steep learning curve, but its powerful feature set and active community make it a popular choice for 3D modeling, animation, and visual effects. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, Blender provides a comprehensive toolset for creating high-quality 3D content.

Blender Classes 3d Syllabus

Class Overview

3D modeling is becoming more and more crucial in the world as modern hardware has given rise to technologies that allow for more and more realistic graphics. The 3D modeling market was valued at approximately 13 billion dollars in 2020 and is expected to grow at 20% annually for the next few years. Many industries can make use of 3D modeling and there are a variety of applications to use. We chose to teach Blender because it is free and also very powerful, able to meet the needs of any beginner and even beyond. It is also very popular which means that if you run into a problem, there are a lot of resources to help you solve it. This course is created partly due to the popular demand from our students who have taken our pipeline of courses taking students from a complete beginner to publishing their own VR app. With the skills that you learn in this course and the VR development pipeline, you are able to make assets and develop your own games and VR worlds with them.
Course Program

: Below you can find a week-by-week breakdown of the course. Our course is a crash course through the basic topics of 3D modeling, specifically low-poly models. This course requires no previous experience and will teach students of all levels to be able to create their own models with Blender. You will go through our custom-developed curriculum each week with most weeks’s assignments requiring the submission of a model. Additionally, some weeks contain challenges that you can complete for extra points to count toward graduation. We employ a flipped classroom model. Outside of live sessions, you watch videos and complete assignments outside the classroom on your own schedule. We have office hours where all students are welcome to come and get help with any questions they have. Then we have live classes for each topic where we do 3D assessment, demonstrations, and Q&A to solidify your learning. At the end of select sessions, we break out and explore student-made VR worlds together. This allows students to socialize and network with their peers and instructors in the metaverse.
