Blender Basics

Course Overview

This course, Blender Basics, provides an introduction to the 3D software, Blender. Participants will learn how to create and model 3D objects, make a straightforward character, change camera angles and light a scene, and create animations in 3D or 2D. By the end of the course, participants will have a basic understanding of how to use Blender to create 3D animations.

[Applications]
After completing this course, students should be able to apply their knowledge of Blender Basics to create 3D models, characters, animations, and scenes. They should be able to use Blender to adjust camera angles and lighting, as well as create both 3D and 2D animations. Additionally, they should be able to use Blender to create more complex models and animations.

[Career Paths]
1. 3D Animator: 3D Animators create 3D animations for films, television, video games, and other media.
