This specialization features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization.
In this hands-on Blender Beginners Masterclass, you'll learn to master the basics of 3D modeling, shading, and animation. Through a creative project where you'll build a cookie factory, you’ll gain skills in Blender’s navigation, modeling, lighting, and rendering tools. You will start by modeling windmill machinery, conveyors, and other factory parts, followed by adding textures, materials, and shaders to make them look realistic.
As you progress, you’ll delve into more complex techniques like geometry nodes for custom designs, rigging for mechanical animations, and lighting setups to bring your creations to life. By the end of the specialization, you’ll have the skills to design, texture, and animate 3D objects within Blender.
This specialization is perfect for beginners with no prior 3D modeling experience. No technical knowledge is required, just a passion for creativity. Whether you're interested in games, simulations, or visual storytelling, this course will provide the foundation for creating professional 3D models and animations.
By the end, you will be able to model, texture, and animate complex 3D objects with Blender, bringing your designs to life through animation and realistic texturing.
Applied Learning Project
In this specialization, you'll work on a project to model and animate a complete cookie factory, including machinery, conveyors, and packaging systems. As you progress, you’ll apply real-world 3D design skills, incorporating elements such as textures, shaders, and mechanical animation to build a dynamic, realistic factory setup. This hands-on project will allow you to implement every technique learned in real-time and solidify your understanding of Blender’s capabilities.
