Description
This course comprises of over 30 years experience producing 3d content for leading brands across many industries, condensed into more than 18 hours of fun project based video content, carefully structured in an order that ensures you can become an advanced 3d artists in the shortest possible time.In the course you'll gain a solid understanding of:3d fundamentals, allowing you learn complex aspects of 3d with ease, and transfer your skills to other 3d softwareBlender 3d (versions 3 or 4, differences explained along the way)Hard surface modelling (bevel modelling and subdivision modelling)Sculpting - A thorough understanding of the sculpting tools available.Materials and texturesPainting textures directly onto 3d geometryProcedural texture projectionUV unwrappingProcedural UV'sDriversBakingModifiersConstraintsLightingA deep understanding of animation and the animation tools Blender providesCharacter modellingRigging (building driver based custom rigs to control your models with bones using FK & IK switching)Character animation and interaction with other objectsMotion tracking video footage, modelling from motion tracking data, masking from motion dataIntegrating animated 3d geometry with live footageWorking with audio (editing, timing & lip syncing)Cycles RenderingCompositing in Blender (post production)+ MUCH more!The course is suitable for complete beginners, advanced users wishing to refresh or get a deeper understanding of less familiar topics, and people moving to Blender from other 3d applications. Advanced users should be able to speed through the earlier videos, but I'd still recommend to watch through those sections, to ensure you're prepared for the later sections.The course is provided with approximately 7GB of supporting files, which includes assets used during the course, and the completed scene file for each section for those wishing to skip to specific topics.Enjoy!Michael3d-illusions
