and learn must-have software features.
Real experience tricks
This course contains an enormous number
of tips and tricks based on real-world experience. We will discuss how to deal with common problems that everybody faces in real
projects and deeply understand their causes.
A basic knowledge of Blender default and 27x keymaps (worth mentioning).
Description
If you’re a beginner, jumping into a complex project, could be more than what you excepted. You’ll experience confusion, frustration, and second guessing self. That’s because, most Blender tutorials and courses don’t break content up enough, for you to get the fundamentals.
The course’s compartmented method is the most logical approach to learn any software that has the reputation of having a hard learning curve.
In case you need to refer back to a topic, the sections and chapters are named so you can focus on the area of interest. Reviewing content while shifting through 30-40-50, or more, minutes of video – is not cool. I try to keep the videos around ten minutes. There are exceptions…for example when I get into – the zone.
This course primarily pertains to showing beginners the areas of Blender that receive the most attention, even from long time users and 3d artist. Those sections include: Object and Edit mode, Sculpting, Texture painting, Addons and Rendering.
You’re about to enter the world of a seemingly vast, software. Covering it all, may take hours…even the basics can get technical.
No worries. This is not that kind of course.
I can’t tell the future, but I think Blender’s UI, is going to be around for a long time. No matter what the current version of Blender is, you should be able to interpret the basics. I’ll do my best, to keep the course updated.
We’re not making any specific project…like a landscape.
Reason being, I didn’t want to overwhelm new users with the main areas of Blender and trying to explain it while making an “official” project.
The main purpose of this course is for Blender beginners to get familiar, rather than jumping right in, without a basic level of training.
The object you’ll create, will assist you in navigating Blender’s environment. ( . . . object is subject to change to fit your liking).
With that, we’ll continue browsing through the areas of Blender that receive the most attention. (Blender’s UI, Workspaces, Preferences, default addons, external addons, Edit Mode, Object mode, Sculpting, UV unwrapping and basic rendering).
The course is built on a checklist, a system, a plan and the order I’ve established to unlock your creativity… without being overwhelming.
Due to the “kid in a candy store “syndrome” “, there are areas in the course… I had to cut short.
Let me say, I am a former stroke victim, in spite of my compromised speech, most of the course’s content is…recorded – as is. But, rest assured, and I guarantee… you’ll have complete comprehension. (previews).
I did experience screen-recorder difficulties, no worries, I was able to adjust them. (same guarantee).
One more thing, I hope this course serves you well and ignites for your new hobby or career.
Blender Way of Life’s principles:
The name of the game is 3d (learn from everywhere).
Blender is Blender.
Find inspiration from everywhere.
Let nothing hinder your imagination.
You can always refer to the Blender manual for technical explanations.
CORRECTIONS: (as needed)
During Camera Clipping section, I mentioned something about an exercise…scratch that. It would have taken up your precious Blending time.
Empties: should’ve – parented – primitive to empty.
It’s not that no one can teach you how to sculpt, but in this course, you get a “feel” for it.
. . .think I said, “layperson”, somewhere…? I meant, like newbie, rookie, greenhorn, pure beginner…etc.
Retopology: change Viewport Display plane color the way I do the first time…then go to matcap section and change to – object.
Who is the target audience? Blender beginners looking to learn this incredible 3d software from a casual, non-technical approach, without hours of complexity.

[FXGEAR] Learn How To Create Stop Motion Character in Blender introduce
About This Class
Hello guys, Zerina here, and welcome to another blender course. In this course, I will show you how to create one of the most famous characters in the stop motion world Shaun The Sheep.
I will start modeling by importing the REFERENCES that you can get for free from : HERE
Then part by part, we will model the head, face, and later the limbs. After we finish modeling, we will focus on the skin of our character. The skin of the stop motion characters looks like clay, so combining the image texture and a couple of nodes, we will create the clay-like skin texture.
Then when we finish the material for the skin, we will focus on creating the fur of our character. Shain is the Sheep. Using a hair particle system, we will be able to make wool-like fur that will be his body, hair, and tail. I will show you a proper way to work with the hair particle system and the nodes for creating its skin.
The model will be easy to model because we will use basic principles of modeling and basic modifiers; like that, it will be well suitable for beginners.
So what are we waiting for? Lean back, have fun and enjoy creating Shaun The Sheep.

The instructor uses a graphics tablet in the texture painting and sculpting sections of the course
Description
In this course we’ll create a game character using Blender 2.8, and we’ll export it to Unity and configure it so we can control it in the game engine.
Throughout the course, you will learn:
3D Modeling in Blender 2.8
UV Mapping
Texturing and Sculpting
Baking a Normal Map
Rigging a Character in Blender 2.8
Animating a 2D Face with Grease Pencil
Creating Animation Cycles for a Video Game
Exporting a Character and Animations from Blender 2.8 to Unity
Creating a C# Script in Unity to Control a Game Character
Beginning with the modeling, we’ll use Blender 2.8 to build all the individual pieces of a Lego character. And then you’ll learn how to UV map each of the parts, and then create an efficient, unified UV map of the entire character. We will use Blender’s texture painting tools to create the clothes of the character, and we’ll use the sculpt tools to create the high res details of the hair. You’ll then learn how to bake a normal map in Blender and apply the textures to the character model.
Next, we’ll work on rigging the character. We will begin with a single bone, and create the rig manually, so you can see how a character rig is built from the ground up. You’ll learn how to create a Foot Roll Rig and how to use Blender 2.8’s new process for creating Custom Shapes to control the character.
Once the rig is done, I’ll show you a cool technique, using Blender 2.8’s new Grease Pencil tools, to animate both a 2D drawn face and a 3D body at the same time. With this technique, we will create the character’s Idle, Run, and Jump animations, ready to be used in a game engine.
You will then learn how to export the character, animations, and textures out of Blender and bring them into the Unity game engine. And here you will learn how to set-up the character in the game and even how to retarget third-party animations onto our character, using Unity’s Humanoid Rig system.
Finally, we will write a simple C# script to incorporate our 2D and 3D animations, and get the character running around the level.
If you’ve ever wanted to create a game character, and are interested in getting up to speed in Blender 2.8, then this course is for you. So join me as we create a game character in Blender 2.8.
