Blender Course from Scratch - Training Scope and Description

In the Blender course from scratch online, you will go step by step through all stages of creating a 3D model and visualization in Blender + Cycles. You will start with getting to know the program's interface and proper configuration.Freely navigating the software will allow you to work more efficiently - in our training for architects, we pay special attention to shaping correct work habits from the beginning.This way, as you further develop your skills, you won't have to unlearn incorrect actions.Then you will learn to model simple elements, and later you will move on to working with materials.You will see how to create high-quality materials in a simple way.After learning to model in Blender, we will move on to getting to know the Cycles rendering engine.It's a free engine dedicated to Blender.You will find that using free software, you can create visualizations that are no different from those created in leading commercial programs.We will discuss the types of lights in Cycles, and you'll learn how to configure them to achieve the desired effect.In the Blender + Cycles course from scratch, you will also work on ready-made models prepared by our trainer.On their example, you will see how selected effects work, e.g.depth of field or motion blur.These basic Cycles features will be very useful in your further independent work.An additional attraction of our beginner's Blender training is the discussion of light groups - a relatively new Blender feature.You will see how with its help, you can improve your work.Finally, our trainer will tell you about the secrets of post-production of visualizations in the Affinity Photo program, which will make your visualizations look even better.

When Is It Worth Completing the Blender + Cycles Software Course?

Completing the course on Blender + Cycles is worth it if you are an architect or interior designer and want to expand your range of services to include interior visualization.Photorealistic visualizations will take your projects to a higher level and significantly improve communication with the client.Blender + Cycles is an ideal choice if you want to add visualization creation to your service portfolio.Free 3D modeling software and a dedicated rendering engine will enable you to create high-quality visualizations.In our Blender training, you will gain the skills necessary to create simple models.A relatively high entry threshold and seemingly unfriendly interface are obstacles that separate you from creating high-quality interior visualizations.Our online Blender courses for architects will help you overcome them.Also, note that although Blender + Cycles software is free, its license allows for commercial use of the effects produced in the program. This makes Blender + Cycles an excellent alternative to other leading programs for modeling and visualization creation.

Blender Online Course from Scratch - Training Program

The comprehensive Blender course for beginners from scratch online will guide you through all stages of working in the program.After completing our training for architects and interior designers, you will be able to move freely in Blender + Cycles.See what you will learn in our beginner's course.

Blender - Overview of the program's interface

Every program has its own interface.Usually, it seems completely incomprehensible and difficult to use.This course will show you that the Blender interface is not as scary as it seems, and you can move around it comfortably.

Modifying objects in Blender

You will learn from the course how to easily edit objects in the program - both the new ones you create yourself, and those you can import into Blender.You will learn about the possibilities of manual modification as well as with the help of widely discussed modifiers.

Blender - Importing models

From the course, you will learn how to easily import models into Blender.Many models are already in .blend format and have ready-made materials, but sometimes you need to use universal .obj and .fbx formats.But this also does not pose a problem for Blender.

Creating materials in Blender

I will discuss different types of materials and ways to create them.You will understand what the sliders in the primary material - Principled BSDF, most commonly used, are responsible for.You will learn what PBR materials are and how to create them.We'll easily create metal, glass materials, and materials using alpha textures, allowing you to quickly "cut out" various shapes, and the translucency effect.Both using a leaf as an example.We will also touch on the topic of displacement and differentiating materials in the model.From the course, you will also learn where to find good quality, free textures.

Cycles - Artificial and Natural Lights

One of the most important issues, if not the most important, is the scene's lighting.Even the best models and materials won't give satisfactory results if the scene's lighting is poorly done.In the course, we will discuss the types of lights in Blender and I will show you how to easily create very good, natural lighting.We will create natural lighting and artificial lights.

Cycles - Rendering Engine for Blender

Blender has a built-in rendering engine, Cycles, which works very well for visualizations.At first glance, it may seem difficult because of the number of settings.But in practice, only a few of these settings are used.In this course, I will show you what is essential, and what is not worth bothering with.

Blender - Depth of Field Effect - DOF and Motion Blur

The course covers topics such as depth of field (DOF) and motion blur.Both effects add an interesting look to visualizations, which you can now easily add to your workflow.

Light Groups

Light groups are a  feature added to Blender recently.It is mainly used for working on scenes with many different artificial lights.Thanks to it, you can modify the lighting of your scene in any way you like without having to re-render.Sounds great, right?That's exactly how it is!This course will show you how easy and efficient it is to use this innovation in your work.

Post-production

The course covers the topic of post-production - both in Blender and in the Affinity Photo program, with a focus on the latter.I will show you a few tips that will give your visualizations a better final look.

What are the goals of our Blender online course for beginners?

We want you to be able to independently create simple 3D models and visualizations in the free software Blender + Cycles after completing our course.The Blender course from scratch offers over 11 hours of solid knowledge that will bring the program for modeling and creating visualizations closer to you. You will start with getting to know the program's interface and its configuration.Then you will go through the modeling of simple 3D objects.In the section dedicated to modeling materials, you will learn how to change their parameters and settings so that they look very good in every scene. The final stage of the beginner's Blender course is the rendering of visualizations in Cycles and post-production. You can start the course with zero knowledge of Blender.The individual lessons are planned in such a way that people who have never dealt with this program before will keep up with the trainer's commands.

Summary

In the Blender course for beginners from scratch, all issues related to working freely in the program are covered.Starting from the first launch and configuration of the program up to post-production of finished renders.In addition to general knowledge, which is the main theme of this course, fragments of interior visualizations and buildings are also covered.If you're looking for a complete course that will guide you through all stages without knowing the basics of Blender, then this course is designed for you.
