Course Description

If you want to learn 3D from zero, meaning no prior experience needed at all. Then you’ve come to the right place. This course will teach you the fundamentals of 3D skills using Blender 2.8 or above. The curriculum in this course is carefully designed so that students can learn gradually from the easiest lesson to the more advanced lessons, seamlessly. After completing this course you should be able to model a construction robot like in the course cover image, add materials to it, create lights, and then render it using the EEVEE rendering engine.

  • Rendering engines

  • Creating and using materials

  • Basic CG concepts

  • Using camera object

  • Surface smooth shading

  • Screen space reflection inside EEVEE

  • Etc

Part 3: 3D modeling

  • Advanced transformation

  • Pivot point

  • Selection techniques

  • Inset, Extrude and Bevel

  • Knife and Bisect tools

  • Adding loop cuts

  • Patching holes

  • The basics of modifiers

  • Common 3D modeling mistakes

  • Normal direction

  • Manifold geometry

  • Point-to-point modeling techniques

  • Etc

Part 4: Construction robot project

  • Volume sketching

  • The Basics of grease pencil

  • Special movement operations

  • The basics of the curve objects

  • Basic rigging with FK (forward kinematics)

  • Create global illumination in EEVEE

  • Etc


HANDS-ON PROJECTS

There are many hands-on projects in course. Such as:

  • Custom monkey head model using basic mesh editing

  • Adding materials to the custom monkey head model

  • Modeling a kindergarten chair

  • Create vases using spin and screw methods

  • Create a roman column

  • Model a toy train by leveraging the vertex snapping feature

  • Model a coffee table

  • Create a robot in the final project section. Covers 3D modeling, material, lighting and rendering with EEVEE


So get the course now and take your first step into the world of 3D using Blender!

There are several outdated lessons that made it hard to follow in the 4.5.2 version of the software. Only the first three sections are updated, then it goes back to the 2.8 version, not only showing the outdated program version, but also repeating the first few lessons.

Very good teacher who prepared in advance its lessons. Talk speed is adapted and makes the courses easy to understand. Professor is very knowledgeable and provided the necessary tools to be able to start efficiently 3D creation. I highly recommend his lessons to anybody who wish to learn blender. Do ALL the courses, including those related to blender 2.79, even if your version is higher. Not all the commands are same in 2.79 and more recent versions, but what his is explaining help a lot to understand various, but necessary, concepts. Be also aware that it will takes you more than 26.5 hours to watch all. For me, it took around one month to watch and practice them, but it was worthy. I am not yet a hero; nevertheless, I can do intermediate 3D which are acceptable. A great thank you to him.

I am very much thankful to the instructor for availing us with such beautiful course on blender. I have been learning blender from here and there in YouTube for last 4-5 months. I could learn many things from there but the systematic approach needed to work on blender I could learn from this course only. Many subtle details also I could learn from this course. In the course the instructor was very specific, straight forward. His style of teaching was very comprehensive, his pace of teaching was so ideal at least for me like non-english speaking people. Again I am convening my heartfelt gratitude to the instructor for providing us with such a wonderful course.

Mr. Wihdi is the best. A great teacher. I'm glad I signed up for this course. His lessons are straight-forward, slow-paced and he has a way of making you understand everything he's doing and follow along. He doesn't do anything without explaining it clearly so you can understand. I didn't know anything about Blender before starting this course but never once did I get confused or lost while learning with him. I learned a lot and I really enjoyed his lessons. If you are beginner, this is the best course for you. I will check out more of his courses. Thank you Mr. Wihdi :)

A year ago I tried to teach myself blender but I stopped out of frustrations. With this video, I was able to get rid of frustrations that I had from the free tutorials, which wasted too much time. For example, I only knew about ctrl-z to undo or START ALL OVER again because that isn't enough to undo things. Now I know there is alt-g, alt-r, alt-s, home key, slash key, blender settings, plus much more. I originally thought that blender is poorly thought out but the instructor explains things directly to the point. I don't have to fast fwd because of too much talk that you'd usually get from other videos. My only complain is that some projects didn't have downloadable resources so you'll get frustrated when you're stuck

By David Visser on 1/14/2019

Excellent course. Mr. Muttaqien really knows how to transfer his knowledge in an engaging way. I think this course is set up in a really good way, because the topics are building upon eachother, but since the topics are concise, this course also makes an excellent reference for future use. What I actually liked the most is the applicability of the topics. There's quite a lot of theory in this course, but you'll apply the theory in following assignments. I really feel a lot more confident in Blender than before this course.

By Dee Littlejohn on 12/22/2018

OK First, As an American with an American Ear for English, This Instructor was very hard to understand initially. BUT, He is extremely in tune to use processes and once you get an ear for his accent he's not hard to understand at all, I just had to get used to words being enunciated different that I am used to. SO after you get passed the first couple lessons he's not hard to understand at all. And the way he explains everything so in depth is well worth it. This isn't the first blender course I've taken . This instructor covered things in a lot more depth and far more practically than I've heard it before. II'm hoping this instructor has dome something on rigging and weights. It wasn't included in this video So i will be looking for that next.

By Doug Brown on 10/31/2018

Whilst not being a beginner at Blender I still got a lot out of this course. Blender is such a huge program there's a lot you can miss no matter how experienced you are. However Widhis' knowledge of the software is unsurpassed and very in-depth, but at the same time it is direct to the point and fast to the results you want to see and you end up saying "Aahh I didn't know that" quite a lot :) I only removed half a star because I though covering Blender Render was not necessary since it will be deprecated in the new version coming this month. Brilliant course well worth it!!

By Sam Pollard on 4/6/2018

Fantastic course. Easiest 6 stars ever. What you get with Mr Muttaqien is that rare thing - a guy who really knows his Blender AND knows how to teach. You get a ton of in depth, but crystal clear explanation of a huge number of Blender's tools and features. Nothing is rushed. Everything is explained, the why as well as the how. He goes into detail on many things which other courses omit or skim over. And the syllabus is very carefully put together in such a way that you learn things in the right order. No trying to run before you can walk. You also get, sprinkled throughout the course, a good selection of mini-projects so that you can be confident you've understood what you've just been studying before moving on to the next part. And you get Mr M. himself, all over the Q&A section, very promptly helping out as needed. This is the real deal, an expert professional at work, not some hobbyist who got a microphone for Christmas and decided to make a course. Very highly recommended. EDIT: Just to add, Mr M is now updating the course for 2.8, at no extra cost. Not a new course that you need to buy, but simply an update of this one. Superb. The 2.8 release of Blender saw major changes to the Viewport Shading options and confusion about these is probably one of the main stumbling blocks for anyone learning Blender. Widhi's update provides, in my opinion, the best explanation of these changes that you'll find anywhere.

By Anthony on 4/1/2018

Course is great so far lots of key information only reason I did not give it 5 stars is it would be nice to have a short cut key reference guide for each lesson. As the instructor said "Blender is very short cut oriented". So taking notes and following along can become cumbersome if you only have 1 Monitor. But I do HIGHLY recommend this course to anyone that is learning Blender. If you want to follow along and not just get the theory behind some of the UV mapping parts either have Photoshop to follow along or Learn GIMP ( GIMP is free ).
