Friendly Blender Series

Friendly 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

Object Main

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

Donut shop main

A basic course to understand basic functions and understand principles.

Q&A 💬

Q. Why should I learn Blender?

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
    I 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 Infraon service operation, please use 1:1 inquiry.

these people!

Who is this course right for?

  • Those who want to learn character animation with a solid foundation

  • If you think rigging is difficult

  • You can follow others, but you failed to create your own character.

Need to know before starting?

  • Basic knowledge of Blender LV.1
