Blender Launch Pad

Chapter 4 & 5 – Modeling Fundamentals and Exercise

Learn all the important modeling fundamentals, workflows, tools and how to solve certain modeling problems. We will practice modeling by creating a car and environment assets, step by step.

64 tutorials | ~5:05 hrs running time

Chapter 6 & 7 – Shading Fundamentals and Exercise

Learn all important fundamentals on how to work with materials in Blender (this is called "shading"). We will practice shading by colorizing all assets which were modeled in the previous chapters.

Chapter 8 & 9 – Particle Simulation and World Creation

Learn all important fundamentals about the particle simulation, and how to assemble all previously created assets into a big desert scene.

11 tutorials | ~1:10 hrs running time

Chapter 10 & 11 – Lighting Fundamentals and Exercise

Learn all the important fundamentals on how to work with lights in Blender. We take a look at different light types, important settings, how to use the background to light up your scene and how to work with indirect and volumetric lighting.

13 tutorials | ~1:05 hrs running time

Chapter 12 & 13 – Animation Fundamentals and Exercise

Learn all important fundamentals on how to animate 3D objects, properties and shapes. We will also animate the flying car, different camera shots and crashing the car into a rock.

20 tutorials | ~1:50 hrs running time

Chapter 14 & 15 – Animation Fundamentals and Exercise

Learn all fundamentals on how to render out an animation and convert it into a video file you can share with the world. The animation above is the final result of this course.

16 tutorials | ~1:05 hrs running time

Chapter 17 & 18 – Texturing & Texture Painting Fundamentals

Learn how to use textures in the shader editor and how flexible you can adjust them. We will also create semi-realistic materials on the fly, use PBR textures and much more. Additionally, we will dive into texture painting, for manually painting textures for our 3D models.

Chapter 19 & 20 – Texturing Exercise and Baking Textures

Here we will practice everything we have learned in the previous texturing chapters and texture a CG Boost barrel from scratch. To make this barrel usable in other 3D tools and Game Engines, we will bake down the material into practical PBR texture maps.
