Kind Blender Series

Kind Blender helps you build a foundation based on reasons and principles and gain the power to think for yourself . If you don't know the principles, you won't know why your modeling is wrong or where to fix it. Also, when you want to make your own work, you won't know how to make it. You need to develop the ability to think for yourself about how to make it . I'll help you really enjoy Blender. Let's study Blender together!

LV. 0 Essential Beginner: Creating Objects with Basic Shapes

An introductory course for those new to Blender.

We will teach you the knowledge and principles needed to create 3D works, how to view the screen, basic settings, shortcuts, etc. We will finish the introductory course by going through the process of creating an object using basic shapes.

Recommended for those who are just starting out with Blender or want to learn it properly from the beginning!

LV. 1 Basic Modeling: Laying the foundation with a donut shop

A basic course to understand basic functions and understand principles.

We will teach you the most essential functions and principles when creating a basic work using Blender. We will finish the basic course by using the props made with the functions learned in between in the final work, a donut shop.

Recommended for those who experience situations like 'Why isn't this working?' when making something with a blender!

LV. 2 Modeling Practice: Getting Familiar with the Magic Shop

Basic training course focusing on modeling practice

Through the process of creating a magic shop from scratch, you will learn basic functions and new functions that you did not encounter in LV.1, and apply modeling. You can also learn tips and know-how when modeling through practice.

Recommended for those who want to make the basics of Blender completely 'theirs'!

LV.3 Character Animation: Learning while creating an animation of a cat walking through a town

A course that teaches rigging and animation from the basics.

Learn how to model, rig, paint, and animate a cute cat character, then create an animation of a cat walking through a town.
You can learn how to rig it to suit your taste.

Recommended for those who want to learn character animation properly from the basics!

Q&A 💬

Q. Why should I learn Blender 3D?

Blender is a program with a lot of features and it's free! It's a good program to try out when you're wondering if you're good at 3D. It's also great for learning as a hobby and for those who want to create their own animations or videos.

If you are learning for employment, it may be a good idea to learn a program that is widely used in that field. It is true that Blender is still relatively less well-known in Korea and is not used much by companies. It is natural because there are programs that were used before. However, companies that use Blender are gradually emerging and it is widely used overseas. Blender's importance will increase in Korea in the future!

Q. Can non-majors also take the course?

Yes, you can do it even if you don't major in video or design. The most difficult part of drawing a three-dimensional picture is perspective and angle. In Blender, if you place an object close to or far from the camera, perspective will be created naturally, and if you add light, shadows will be created automatically, so even if you can't draw, you can make it pretty.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as sculpting or texture painting, but the modeling and rendering you learn in this video are basic steps that anyone can do if they follow along diligently and have the will to create!

Q. What do I need to prepare to take this course?

  • computer
    I recommend a desktop computer . For detailed recommended specifications, please check the link below. A laptop is also possible, but rendering work in 3D requires a lot of graphics card performance, and it may be inconvenient because Blender uses the numpad (the number pad to the right of the arrow keys) a lot.
    Check your computer specifications for Blender

  • mouse
    You need a mouse with a wheel .

  • Keyboard
    I recommend a keyboard with a numpad .

  • (Optional) Tablet PC or dual monitor
    Since there are many functions and the nature of the videos involves stopping in the middle to follow along, it is useful to have a tablet PC or dual monitors to watch the videos at the same time and follow along.

Q. What should I do if something gets blocked?

If you get stuck in the middle, it becomes difficult to proceed to the next step. We understand your frustration, so we are always open to questions. For inquiries regarding Inflearn service operation, please use 1:1 inquiry.

these people!

Who is this course right for?

  • For those who want to learn character animation with a solid foundation

  • For those who think rigging is difficult

  • For those who can follow along, but have failed to create their own unique character

Need to know before starting?

  • Basic knowledge of Kind Blender LV.1

    다른 툴로도 캐릭터 모델링을 배운적이 있는데 그땐 너무 어려워서 망쳤던 기억이 있었습니다. 모델링에 두려움을 느껴서 작품 제작에 제약이 있었는데 이 강의 시리즈를 들으면서 모델링도 하나하나 해가고 자신감이 붙는 거 같습니다. 블렌더라는 툴로 갈아타길 잘한 거 같고 그 시작으로 이 강의를 수강하게 된 것도 매우 탁월한 선택이었던 거 같습니다.

      아쉬웠던 기억을 자신감으로 바꾸는 순간을 함께 하게 되어 기쁘네요. 항상 열심히 블렌더 공부하시는 모습 보면서 응원하고 있었습니다. 앞으로도 즐거운 블렌더 공부가 되시길 바랍니다! 감사합니다! :)

    모델링이랑 1도 관련없는 직종에 있는데 말도 안되게 잘 알려주셔서 재밌게 보고 있습니다. 노베이스에서 블렌더 완전 처음하는데 이렇게 할 수가 있는게 놀랍네요. 잘 모르는 질문에 대해서도 잘 답변해주시고 강의 0, 1, 2, 3다 구매해서 듣고 있고 2는 같이 병행하면서 하고 있는데 너무 재밌게 하고 있습니다!

    • codemod

      재밌게 강의 들어주시니 기쁩니다. 블렌더 모델링을 처음 접하거나 그림이나 미술이 서툰 사람들도 점점 이해하면서 배울 수 있도록 제 나름대로 강의에 담아봤는데 알아주시니 보람있고 뿌듯하네요. 도움 많이 얻고 블렌더 재밌게 하시면 좋겠습니다! 감사합니다! :)

    유튜브에서 우연히 발견하여 유료강의까지 듣게 되었는데요, 강의 내용이 정말 알차고 좋았습니다. 그냥 따라만 하는 강의가 아니라 용어와 개념도 설명해주셔서 너무 좋았고, 설명하실때 비유를 들어가며 해주셔서 이해가 쏙쏙 잘 되었습니다. 평소에 블렌더를 하면서 궁금해하던 것들이 많았는데 이런 가려운 부분도 해결해주셔서 너무 좋았습니다. 게다가, 어떤 작업을 할 때 한가지 방법만 알려주시는게 아니라 여러가지 방법을 알려주셔서 그중에서 편한 방법으로 골라 익힐 수 있었습니다. 목소리가 듣기가 좋고 말씀도 잘하셔서 전혀 지루하지 않았습니다. 여러 무료&유료 강의들을 많이 들어보았지만 이렇게 정성이 담기고 준비를 많이했다고 느껴지는 강의는 처음이네요. 이렇게 좋은 강의 만들어주셔서 정말 감사드립니다!

      이렇게 정성스럽고 세심한 수강평을 받게 되어 정말 기쁘고 뿌듯하네요. 강의를 만들 때 고심하며 기획했던 의도들을 잘 알아주시고 자세하게 글로 남겨주셔서 감사합니다. 앞으로의 강의에도 이 글을 보면서 힘낼 수 있을 것 같아요! 계속해서 즐거운 블렌더 공부가 되시길 응원하겠습니다! 감사합니다! :)
