Blender for Complete and Total Beginners

Blender for Complete and Total Beginners is the best starting point for anyone interested in learning 3D and Blender. Check out the course page to learn more - cgmasters.com/blender-for-complete-and-total-beginners/
Blender is perfect for anyone interested in learning 3D, because it’s incredibly powerful and free. This full creation suite offers a complete range of artistic possibilities, including modeling, animation, rendering, compositing, video editing, and a lot more. So whether you’re interested in creating games, producing animations, 3D printing, or anything else related to 3D, Blender has you covered with it’s complete production toolkit.
Learning such an advanced piece of software can be intimidating though. There are a crazy amount of tools and it can be tricky to figure out where to start. That’s what this course is for. This curriculum was designed to give you a clear understanding of the most fundamental concepts and tools, even if you have zero experience.

[@peterherrera2965]

I just buy everything you make! Such a great teacher of 3D.

[@blengine]

Thanks Peter!

[@NoBorschtForYou]

I just completed your Blender course. It's a third or a fourth one I bought for 3D modeling, and the first one I was able to sail through from start to the end. You turned a previously confusing topic to me into an easy one. So a big thank you is in order. I'm getting the Encyclopedia one tonight

[@blengine]

Hey, glad you liked it so much! Hope you like the encyclopedia too, and thanks for supporting my training.

[@scholzdigital]

I know your channel for 5 minutes and I bought your course. You seem to be a great teacher. Let’s do this!

[@blengine]

Thanks Michael! I'm glad my teaching clicks with you and I hope you like the course =)

[@zues3663]

thanks to your courses im no longer a beginner, but im going to recommend this to my friends.

[@blengine]

Thanks for spreading the word! And glad to have helped you learn Blender =)

[@_Shinique]

You're the best Blender teacher. I'm still trying to make my way through the encyclopedia.... Sidenote: Suddenly I'm craving a Kitkat bar because of that raft. lol

[@blengine]

Thank you! And haha, my wife said the same thing about the raft.

[@vapsman88]

Thanks Chris. I've been off Blender for about a year, so this will be a good refresher. Plus I have not used 2.8+ much, mostly 2.7x. Signing up now.

[@blengine]

Blender always reels us all back in eventually =) Welcome back! Lots of new stuff since 2.7 series, I think you'll love it, and I hope you like the course, thanks for the support.

[@blenderzone5446]

great work mate!

[@thoracis]

I was just watching your videos earlier today, and getting really motivated! What a nice treat! Thank you for making this content, it’s very well-made and enjoyable ^^ I’m looking forward to more content from you in the future. Cheers!

[@blengine]

Thanks for that, happy to hear you like my videos!

@@blengine he will like it. 😀

[@BergsArt]

Nothing beats a free donut, but I hope it does as well as the work you put into this course.

[@Iglum]

interesting gonna get this! The Blender 2.8 Encyclopedia was a tad bit long to start as a beginner :D

[@blengine]

Hope you like it! And yeah since the encyclopedia's more of a reference it's massive and also contains a lot of info that is a bit beyond beginner level as well. I think you'll have much more fun going through this one first.

[@existentialselkath1264]

Ngl, your going to have a tough time selling this when everyone can learn how to make a donut for free XD

[@blengine]

I think it'll do just fine :)

[@alexvisart1016]

longing for a new one, more complex modelling, hopefully you are not quit

[@blengine]

Hey, the next course coming out will be on advanced procedural texturing, and it's coming along quite nicely! I'll be working on a new car course in the near future too. I may start on that after the procedural texturing course, so there will be plenty of complex modeling in that one. -Chris

[@kumimochi]

I will buy all your course

[@chapstickwarrior9277]

Looks neat!

[@ln9808]

Chris, if you could do a comprehensive tutorial on architecture (a realistic house, for instance), with modeling, materials and rendering, it would be fantastic.

[@blengine]

This is something that I think I'll focus on next year. So far for this year the plan is a really advanced procedural texturing course which I've already begun work on, and then I might start on a new vehicle course by the end of the year. Then after that one I think I'll spend a good part of next year working on an Archi-Viz course.

[@ln9808]

Thank you so much for replying and for all the hard work you've put in those tutorials! I've recently bought your "Master Car Creation in Blender", right now I'm at Chapter 11 and gotta say the course is amazing. No problem doing it on Blender 2.9.1, even though it was originally recorded in 2.79.

[@blengine]

​@@ln9808 That's awesome to hear. With the kind of effort I put into that course I'm insanely excited that even after all the version updates the information is still relevant. Glad you're liking it, and thanks for the support!

[@senadhusic4935]

keep it up

[@hoodiegamer9256]

Its been a while Mr CG Masters

[@mutref.q8]

You can make a borgward tutorial??

[@blengine]

I don't think I'll ever be doing a tutorial specifically on that model, sorry about that.

[@denisj32]

amazing

[@sandeepnugawela2837]

Hey do you have any tutorials for vehicle interiors...

[@blengine]

Not at the moment no. I'll be starting on a new vehicle course by the end of the year though, and hopefully I'll be able to include an interior in that one.

[@vapsman88]

Also, a short course on Freestyle would be helpful.

[@blengine]

Freestyle is awesome, but I haven't dabbled with it that much yet. Hopefully in the near future!

[@vapsman88]

@@blengine Thanks, Chris!

whats freestyle?

can you make the Dr strange's eye of Agomotto please i need to learn that and its too difficult to understand

I don't think that's something I'll ever make, sorry about that, but good luck with it!

[@sounder7564]

do an tutor like bubles coming up from water, something like boiling water. i cant do it. boiling water on transparent tea. and also bubles deforming surface on top.

[@blengine]

That's a cool idea, I don't think I'll get around to making that, but I'll jot that down in my tutorial list just in case the mood strikes me.

How to make aircraft in blender

[@blengine]

This is a topic I've wanted to do for a while, but I don't know when I'll get around to it unfortunately.

[@chrissem5200]

Hi. Does anybody know how to make a transparent texture that will acually be transparent if you put it in a 3D viewer or online 3D viewer. For me they show all textures as plain for me(GBL File)?

[@chrissem5200]

Do you know how to change the axis of a object so the x axis is where the y axis is without moving the object.

[@blengine]

In the Properties Editor, go to the Active Tool settings right above the Render Properties. In these options, enable Affect Only Origins. Then with the object selected you can press R and rotate the origin only, without affecting the object.

[@chrissem5200]

@@blengine thanks. I did that but I was doing that with modifiers so when I applied them then it worked.

[@polynightingale3969]

Hi are we going to see something new here cause it's been already 8 months since the last upload. The reason i come here is simple cause of quality content!! Please upload something. A deep dive into unwrapping or modelling techniques would be nice!!!

[@blengine]

Life's been a bit crazy for me this year so I haven't been able to do much. I do have a big course on procedural texturing that will be out in a few days though, I'll be posting the trailer soon. Things are finally settling down for me too, so I plan to get back to youtube videos by the end of this year as well.

[@polynightingale3969]

@@blengine Thanks a lot for reply!! Hope you are doing okay and take care of yourself!! Will definitely bought your course cause last time when i bought Master car course it helped me a lot. Hoping this course also help me. If i am being honest with procedural texturing only thing haven't mastered yet are math nodes other than it's all good.

[@blengine]

Glad to hear you like the car course! There are some math nodes covered in in this new course, but I was actually also thinking of making a youtube video specifically on math nodes. They're something a lot of people ask about. I'll probably stick with shader tutorials for the next month or so I'll jot that idea down.

When Will We Gonna Get New Carmodeling Advance Course 😭

[@blengine]

I'm working on it! I hope to have that out by the end of this year. I've got a custom car design from a pro ready to go, and I'm just looking to get out a couple smaller courses first to fund the time I'll need to get another huge car modeling course out. Unfortunately it's tricky to find the funding to spend 6+ months on a training course, but working on another car course is my top priority for this year.

[@AFLAutoBlendz3DCarCreations]

CG Masters great to hear this chris

[@TechnicalJatin1]

@@blengine oh yeah 😭❤️ i will bought that one for sure , also bought your encyclopaedia last year it was good but waiting for your car modelling course btw which type of custom car you saying your bringing? Racing or Heavy Duty etc

[@blengine]

It's a sports car/supercar type. It's got just the right amount of difficulty in the curvatures to be great training, and just the right amount of style without looking ridiculous like many supercars do. Pretty psyched about it! And thanks for extra motivation, happy to hear you're looking forward to it, maybe I'll start on things sooner than planned.

[@NCHEstudio]

and link??

[@blengine]

There's a link in the video description.

[@Pesto-64]

Will the outro animation that starts at 0:13 be taught as well in the course?

[@blengine]

After making it for the trailer I've been considering adding in that animation as bonus training content because it's luckily not too tricky. I'll need to see how sales go though. Just like with my past encyclopedia course I'm hoping to add a lot more content to this if it does well.

[@vincentv2119]

Chris, I don’t understand, why do you need to spend time with newbies at your level? Is there really no one else? True, after the Corvette, I haven't modeled a single car myself))

[@blengine]

There are droves of people downloading Blender for the first time (far more than ever) because of it's development and growing use in the industries. I've always promoted Blender and tried to make the best training in order to give people a thorough understanding of the software so that they could use it effectively, which in turn promotes the software further and helps it continue to grow. A well taught community of users is the best advertisement for it. That's my goal especially with my latest courses, and it's specifically why I'm targeting Udemy with beginner courses because I believe the majority of Blender courses on there aren't nearly as effective as they could be at clicking with people and giving them a solid foundation in learning it. Given that there are over a million Blender users on Udemy, it's a popular platform for people getting interested in Blender for the first time, so I just felt like it's where I should be right now and that getting a couple simpler courses out was the right call. These types of courses also help fund the time I need for the more complex courses as well.

[@vincentv2119]

@@blengine I understood you and I respect your choice. But, nevertheless, I am counting on a new course for users with experience) I still think you are the best teacher, although the Corvette was difficult) Thank you!

[@Relivino]

I don't get that, you've made the blender encyclopedia that covers the basics and servers as an introduction to the 3d package www.udemy.com/course/the-blender-encyclopedia/ so why make another beginner course? This is the point in which we should get a specialized animation course like the animation primer, a full grease pencil course or a whole new modeling course like one of the car ones.

[@blengine]

Ah the encyclopedia didn't hit the mark for many total beginners. The pace and the reference guide format didn't click with a lot of people completely new to the software. And because droves of people are starting to learn blender I wanted a course designed a certain way to give them the best starting point possible that would click with anyone. Now I'll move on to more complex training.

[@Relivino]

@@blengine Oh great, thanks for the reply! Can't wait for the new advanced training! With new people coming to blender, it looks like its future is really well-settled. Hopefully it will become an industry standard one day.
