🎓 Blender 3D Mastery — From Beginner to Pro

Learn 3D Modeling, Texturing, Rigging & Animation
📦 100% Pre-recorded | 🎯 80 hours | 🎬 120 Lessons (40 mins each)

💡 Why This Course Works

Most beginners quit 3D because they feel overwhelmed or lost.
This course solves that by giving you a clear path from absolute beginner to advanced 3D artist — with hands-on projects, downloadable files, and zero fluff.

You’ll go from “What is topology?” to creating cinematic animations with confidence — at your own pace.

✅ By the End, You’ll Be Able To:

🎯 Build real-world 3D projects from scratch
💼 Create a professional portfolio that gets noticed
🔁 Follow full production pipelines (modeling → render → animation)
💸 Use your skills for freelance, jobs, or creative projects

🧠 Perfect For:

Beginners with zero experience in 3D or Blender
Creatives wanting to add 3D to their skillset
Students, freelancers, or hobbyists who want structured learning
Anyone tired of random YouTube videos & want a step-by-step roadmap
