This Blender Basics course is designed to introduce complete beginners to the essential concepts of 3D modeling and workflow inside Blender. It starts with a friendly introduction to Blender and CG Cookie, helping you understand the purpose of the course and how to get started with confidence.
You will learn how to navigate the 3D space efficiently, including moving, zooming, and controlling the viewport. The course then covers object selection and transformation, teaching you how to manipulate 3D objects accurately and build a strong foundation for modeling.
As you continue, you will explore how to add, delete, and manage objects using the 3D cursor, along with understanding orientations and parenting, which are important for organizing complex scenes. You will also learn about object data, edit mode, mesh components, and object origins, giving you deeper control over your models.
The course further explains duplication, merging, and repetition techniques to speed up your workflow. You will also study pivots, snapping, and proportional editing, which are essential tools for precise modeling.
Finally, you will learn about visibility, collections, and smoothing techniques to keep your projects organized and visually clean. By the end of this course, you will have a strong understanding of Blender’s core tools and workflow.
