Original Description

Hi, my name is 'Harry Helps'! In this class, we’ll learn everything we need to know to get up and running in Blender! > This class has been updated for the release of Blender 4.1! < We’ll be going through the entire process of learning Blender from a complete beginner’s perspective to avoid as much confusion as possible. Every topic covered builds upon previous lessons to form a solid foundation as we progress through the class. I designed this entire class to follow a premade starter file. You’ll have access to every single model that I’m using in class, so you’ll never need to worry about missing out on an important feature or tool! Please note, Blender 4.1 or newer is required to use this starter file! I’ve also included a handy cheat sheet filled with important keyboard shortcuts, that you can reference during the class and in the future! This class is meant to teach you the basics of Blender, and as such won’t focus heavily on version specific features. That means, even if you watch this class and the current version is Blender 4.0, 4.5 or even higher, you can still gain a solid foundation! Throughout this class, we'll get a basic understanding of almost every important aspect of 3d artwork during your time with me. You'll learn topics like: - Downloading and Installing Blender - Interface Navigation - Editing Objects - Organizing Your File - Common Modeling Tools - Materials - Modifiers - Lighting - Animation Basics - Camera Placement and Settings - Saving Your Final Image And much more! You'll create: After we've set up a solid foundation, I'll lead you through our class project, where you'll assemble and customize your very own cozy campsite utilizing a premade project file! I hope you'll join me on this exploration of the wonderful world of Blender! See ya in the first lesson! Instructor bio: 'Harry Helps' is a 3D artist and educator with over a decade of professional experience in modeling, texturing, animation, and post-production. Throughout
