Note

This course is still under construction. Some chapters are missing and existing chapters are being iterated on. Any feedback in the comments is very appreciated.

Based on the previous Blender Fundamentals training, this updated and expanded training will allow new users, or more experienced artists, to become comfortable and confident working in Blender. We will discuss the most used features and refer to the Blender manual and existing content on the Blender Studio website.

This is what you can do with Blender!

This is what you will be able to create after the course is finished.


The main structure of this course mirrors a standard workflow where we start with creating a 3D model, texturing, adding shading, then we rig and animate it (different models), add lighting, and render with compositing the result to an image sequence.


Course structure notice

  • Some sections have mini assignments to become more familiar to working in Blender. We recommend you solve the mini assignments and write notes, this is essential in applying new information.
  • This blue element containing this text will communicate important information.
  • Optional: details block

    Is a section with additional video steps, knowledge, demos, or lessons.

Small glossary:

  • Any shortcut will be highlighted like so: Ctrl + S
  • LMB = Left Mouse Button
  • MMB = Middle Mouse Button
  • RMB = Right Mouse Button
