Course Overview

Master the art of 3D animation with our comprehensive six-month program using Blender. This immersive course takes you from absolute beginner to industry-ready professional through structured, hands-on learning. With 120 focused sessions of 40 minutes each, you’ll develop a complete skillset covering modeling, sculpting, texturing, lighting, rigging, and animation principles.

What You’ll Learn

Over this intensive course, you’ll progressively build skills across the entire 3D production pipeline:

Month 1: Introduction to 3D Animation & Basic Modeling

Begin your journey with the fundamentals of 3D space, navigation, and basic modeling techniques. You’ll create simple objects, learn proper topology, and develop essential modeling skills for both hard-surface and organic forms. By month’s end, you’ll understand the core principles of 3D modeling and be able to create simple props and environments.

Month 2: Advanced Modeling & Sculpting

Take your modeling skills to the next level with advanced techniques for both hard-surface and organic models. Learn high-poly vs. low-poly workflows, boolean operations, NURBS modeling, and dive into Blender’s powerful sculpting tools. Create detailed characters, props, and creatures while learning industry-standard practices for topology and mesh optimization.

Month 3: UV Unwrapping & Texturing with Substance 3D

Master the critical skills of UV unwrapping and texturing that bring your models to life. Learn both Blender’s built-in texturing tools and the industry-standard Substance 3D Painter workflow. Create professional materials from scratch, bake details from high-poly to low-poly models, and develop photorealistic or stylized textures for your assets.

Month 4: Lighting & Rendering Techniques

Discover how to illuminate your scenes like a professional cinematographer. Explore lighting fundamentals, mood creation, and the technical aspects of various rendering engines including Eevee, Cycles, and Arnold. Learn optimization techniques, compositing, and post-processing to achieve stunning final images for your portfolio.

Month 5: Rigging & Character Setup

Bring your characters to life by mastering the technical art of rigging. Create skeleton structures with proper constraints, develop control systems, and learn weight painting for natural deformations. Advance to complex facial rigging systems, blend shapes, and prepare characters for animation in both film and game environments.

Month 6: Animation Principles & Keyframe Animation

Apply the famous 12 principles of animation to create compelling movement and performances. Master keyframe animation, develop walk cycles, and create convincing weight shifts. Progress to character acting, lip-syncing, and emotional expression, culminating in a professional animation piece for your demo reel.
