Free Blender Crash Course!

A fast, hands-on first contact with Blender

This crash course is designed as a first touchpoint with Blender, the free, open-source 3D creation tool used widely across the industry, and with 3D scene creation in general.

What you'll do

Rather than lecturing through theory, the course has you build a simple flying plane scene from scratch, using it as a vehicle to introduce the Blender interface alongside the fundamentals of:

• Modeling
• Materials
• Lighting
• Animation

Who it's for

Anyone with zero Blender experience who wants a quick, practical taste of what 3D scene creation involves before committing to a longer, more in-depth course. Because Blender is free, there's no software cost barrier to getting started.
