Create a Miffy character using Blender
🐰

Modeling Miffy’s face!

Let's model Miffy’s body!

We create a balloon and texture and render it!

Create a skeleton and connect it to the modeled Miffy!

Add keyframes to the skeleton to complete the animation!

Q&A 💬

Q. Why should you learn Blender?

Blender is a program packed with a wide variety of features, and it’s free! If you’re wondering whether you can really get good at 3D, it’s a great way to try 3D for the first time. It’s also great to learn as a hobby, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to create their own animations or videos.

If you’re learning for employment, it may be better to learn programs that are widely used in that field. It’s true that Blender is still relatively less well-known in Korea and isn’t used much by companies. Since they already have programs they’ve been using, that’s perhaps only natural, right? However, companies that use Blender are gradually emerging, and it is widely used overseas. It’s my guess—and hope—that Blender’s presence will grow in Korea as well.

Q. Can people without a related major take this course?

Yes, it’s possible even if you haven’t majored in video or design. The most difficult aspects of drawing a three-dimensional picture are perspective and shadows. In Blender, placing an object close to or far from the camera naturally creates perspective, and adding light automatically creates shadows, so you can make something beautiful even if you can’t draw.

Of course, there are some exceptions when it comes to sculpting or texture painting, but the modeling and rendering taught in this video are at a basic level, so anyone can do them as long as they’re willing to follow along diligently and create!

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

  • For your computer, we recommend a
    desktop computer. Please check the link below for detailed recommended specifications. A laptop will work as well, but rendering in 3D tends to require particularly high graphics card performance, and since Blender makes frequent use of the numpad (the number pad to the right of the arrow keys), it may be inconvenient.
    Check the computer specifications for Blender

  • You need a mouse
    with a scroll wheel.

  • Keyboard
    As written above, we recommend a keyboard with a number pad.

  • (Optional) A tablet PC or dual monitors
    Since there are many features and the instructional videos often require pausing along the way to follow along, they can be useful if available.

  • You need introductory Blender knowledge
    enough Blender knowledge to rotate the view. If you are completely new to Blender, this beginner-level video for those just starting Blender may be helpful.

Q. What makes this course different from others?

What I consider most important is making it the goal of the course for anyone to create beautiful results when they work hard. Even if the process is difficult, I believe that being satisfied with the finished product motivates you to take on the next project, so I put a lot of thought into helping you create something you’ll want to proudly show your friends and say, 'I made this!'

There are so many features to learn in 3D programs, including Blender. If I tried to create a tutorial by explaining each of them one by one, it would probably be difficult to make much progress. On the other hand, if you simply follow along, you may end up copying the steps without really understanding what each feature does. So I designed the course to explain the basic principles briefly while having you follow along and create things yourself.

Q. What should I do if I get stuck?

When you get stuck in the middle, it becomes difficult to move on to the next part. I understand that frustrating feeling well, so questions are always welcome. For inquiries related to Inflearn service operations, please use the 1:1 inquiry form.
