This is exactly the course I was looking for🫶 When I only watched tutorials, I was frustrated because I didn't know what features would come later or what principles they were built on, but you explained each feature in detail, so even though it still takes a lot of time and I'm lacking, I was able to follow along while understanding the features and principles

The lectures are so kind and detailed that I'm listening with so much gratitude. What I love about this course is that you explain and show the same shapes using multiple methods, which makes it easier to understand and more enjoyable. Plus, it's clear that you've put a lot of thought into how to make the modeling look more detailed, which I really appreciated!

The shortcut keys I used frequently became well-memorized. Starting with Blender without knowing anything and finishing the donut shop by following the course, I feel proud! At first, I had a lot of fear and wondered if I could do it or if I would actually memorize things, but the advice the teacher gave from time to time was all helpful. Thank you.

What you will gain after the course

  • Principles and Functions You Need to Know in Object Mode and Edit Mode

  • Frequently Used Modifiers and How to Use Them

  • Control menus and how to use them

  • How to Use Cameras, Lighting, Eevee Rendering, and Color Management

Even non-majors new to Blender will understand it easily!

A solid foundation gives you the ability to solve problems on your own when you encounter them.

This is the final result you’ll create!

Build a cute donut shop while mastering the fundamentals of Blender!


This course teaches the essential modeling features you need and ultimately guides you through creating a donut shop.
We’ll show you common mistakes and help you develop the ability to think through modeling methods on your own.

Donut shop modelingis not just about following along;
the course also encourages you to think about why things are made this way and how they can be made better.

This course is for those who have some understanding of Blender concepts but
encounter new challenges as they study.


We’ve prepared this so you can take it using the latest version of Blender (4.3)!

💎 A course that thoroughly explains Blender’s features 💎

✨ Friendly Blender Series ✨

Kind Blender helps you build a strong foundation based on the reasons and principles and develop the ability to think for yourself. Without understanding the principles, you won't know why something is wrong or where to make corrections when your modeling goes awry. You may also feel lost when you want to create your own work and don't know how to make it. You need to develop the ability to think for yourself about which method to use. We'll help you truly enjoy Blender. Let's study Blender together!

Q&A 💬

Q. Why should you learn Blender?

Blender is a program equipped with a truly wide range of features, and it’s free! It’s a great program to try when you’re wondering whether you can really become good at 3D. It’s also great to learn as a hobby and is recommended for those who want to create their own animations or videos.

If you’re learning it to get a job, it may be a good idea to learn the programs commonly used in that field. It’s true that Blender is still relatively less well-known in Korea and isn’t widely used by companies. That’s understandable, since they already have programs they’ve been using, right? However, companies that use Blender are gradually emerging, and it’s widely used overseas. 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 parts of creating a three-dimensional image are perspective and drawing angles. In Blender, placing an object closer to or farther from the camera naturally creates perspective, and adding light automatically creates shadows, so you can make beautiful work even if you can’t draw.

Of course, while there are some exceptions for sculpting and texture painting, the modeling and rendering taught in this video are at a basic level, so anyone can do them as long as they are willing to follow along and make an effort!

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

  • Computer
    desktop computer is recommended. Please check the link below for detailed recommended specifications. Laptops are also possible, but 3D rendering tends to require especially high graphics card performance, and since Blender uses the numpad (the number pad to the right of the arrow keys) frequently, it may be inconvenient.
    Check the computer specifications for Blender

  • You need a mouse
    with a scroll wheel.

  • We recommend a keyboard
    with a numeric keypad.

  • (Optional) A tablet PC or dual monitors
    Since there are many features and the instructional videos often require pausing midway to follow along, having a tablet PC or dual monitors is useful for watching the video while following along.

Q. What should I do if I get stuck?

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

    I really enjoyed the basic lectures. Thank you. By any chance, have you been using AI recently? It would be wonderful if you could create a Level 4 course on how to increase modeling efficiency in Blender using AI, such as utilizing MCP. Of course, since a solid foundation is essential, I will make sure to complete all the remaining Level 2 and 3 lectures!

    • codemod
      Instructor

      Thank you for enjoying Level 1 as well. It really seems like you're studying hard! Haha. I am considering an AI course, but from my perspective, I haven't found satisfactory quality yet, and I feel the modeling results are too random. Also, token consumption is quite high during production, so I think there would be a significant burden for students using AI during the course. Since these factors make it a bit lacking to cover in a lecture, I'm putting it on hold for now. I'll study more to create a great course in the future. Thank you for sharing your opinion! Good luck with the rest of the lectures! :)
