Friendly Blender - [LV.0] Essential Introduction

Experience the satisfaction of completing a substantial project. It will give you a great sense of achievement and significantly improve your Blender skills. Let’s build it together, one step at a time! :)

From those just starting out with Blender to those who want to build a solid foundation and learn more! I’ll kindly explain how the basic features work and the mistakes people often make. Shall we dive into the fascinating world of Blender together?

For background modelers who found Houdini daunting, this is a structure-focused introductory lecture created directly by a practitioner.

Blender Essentials for Beginners: Stop Getting Lost in the Viewport is a practical beginner class designed to help new Blender users build confident, repeatable navigation habits inside the viewport. Many beginners do not struggle because they lack ideas. They struggle because the viewport feels unpredictable. This course solves that problem by teaching the essential camera and navigation controls step by step inside a real Blender practice scene. Across 11 focused lessons, students will learn how to use the viewport gizmo, axes, and projection views, then move into the core navigation skills that make Blender feel far more controllable: orbiting, panning, zooming, framing, and quick reset shortcuts. The course also covers Fly mode, Walk mode with gravity, Numpad views, isometric angles, Quad View, and key Blender preference settings that improve orbit, rotation, perspective, and zoom behaviour. Rather than simply memorising shortcuts, students will practise these skills in a stylized miniature military signal base scene so they can develop reliable habits for inspecting objects, checking composition, and recovering their view quickly when they lose orientation. By the end of the course, students will feel much more comfortable navigating inside Blender, which makes future work in modelling, layout, lighting, and scene building far less frustrating.

This is a basic Blender modeling & animation course where you learn while creating 3D graphic travel related icons!

Start your 3D creation journey with Blender 5.2’s intuitive UI and Claude MCP AI collaboration, minimizing the burden of memorizing shortcuts. Go beyond replicating tutorials to grow into a self-reliant creator who can bring your own ideas to life, developing the Blender literacy needed to interpret even the most advanced tutorials on your own.

Grease Pencil is a powerful toolset in Blender that allows you to combine 2D and 3D work. This basic class aims to teach the basic principles and usage of Grease Pencil, and to build a foundation for drawing and animation freely in 2D and 3D environments. With Grease Pencil, which is becoming a core feature of the next-generation Blender along with Geometry Nodes, anyone can intuitively draw three-dimensional drawings and create animations at a speed that cannot be compared to existing 3D work!

Blender, the most globally recognized Free Open Source Software, is evolving beyond a simple 3D tool into an integrated DCC tool that encompasses the entire creative process from previsualization to post-production compositing. It also provides a powerful 2D animation toolset not found in traditional 3D tools, which means that depending on the user's level of understanding, there can be significant differences in workflow even when achieving the same results. This class aims to provide insights on how to best leverage Blender's potential by exploring how 2D and 3D animations operate within Blender, understanding the advantages and disadvantages of both animation production styles, and examining practical methodologies and optimal workflows through various case studies. For those who want to utilize Blender as their personal creative tool in the era of Generative AI, I believe this class will help you discover new possibilities in Blender that differ from what you already know.

We will provide information on 3D spatial information data acquisition and mapping methods using drones, LiDAR, etc., and data visualization tools and techniques based on the application areas of 3D spatial information data, incorporating various case studies.
