This course was designed to give students an overview of Blender’s main tools and tricks, using this 3D software to create strong 2D images. Whether working with Concept Design, Visual Development, Illustration, among many other areas, the in-depth, practical approach taught in this course will enable students to create fully finished, impressive scenes suitable for presentation. By the end of the course, students will have a thorough overview of what is possible to create using Blender’s dynamic and flexible tools and workflows. Students will be expected, by the end of the course, to have at least four fully finished scenes, being two contemporary and two sci-fi. Some of the key takeaways from taking this course are: understanding how to create scenes in Blender with various levels of complexity; how to use Blender’s powerful modifiers to edit/change geometry; how to light your scenes properly for the most dramatic effect; how to create, modify and apply different materials to your models; how to place your cameras and render the shots–and much more!
