Course Description

How can you create a realistic promotional shot for a new product from the comfort of your office? And how can you bring a cartoon character to life through animation using Blender? Blender offers an array of modifiers and add-ons that enable you to easily create and edit complex geometric meshes. Blender also seamlessly integrates with the Eevee and Cycles Render Engines, empowering you to generate unique, lifelike 3D renderings. By unlocking the power of Blender's Forward Kinematics and Inverse Kinematics, you will be able to replicate mechanical motion, leading to the creation of more intricate and precise renderings.

In this course on Blender Advanced, you will learn advanced techniques for modeling and animation in Blender. You will explore video editing and effects, animation using forward kinematics, and scripting with Python. By the end of this course, you will be able to animate meshes, create and save photo-realistic renderings, and code objects in Blender using Python.
