Course Description

This course was designed for Unity developers who want to extend their capabilities to include 3D modeling in Blender. Whether you're interested in designing unique 3D props for your games, building awesome levels, or tweaking your existing Unity Assets, this course can help you get through the learning curve and put you in the driver's seat. You'll learn to Blend like a pro with a good working knowledge of all of the most common tools for editing video game props and level design. We cover all the basic terms, keyboard shortcuts, best practices, time-saving tips, as well as a comprehensive introduction to animating without the use of bones or rigging, applying materials quickly with seamless textures or fine tuning your final product with ambient occlusion texture maps. Understand how to UV Unwrap 3D objects, apply your own graphics and more!
Who this course is for:

This course is intended for video game developers who want to learn Blender for 3D modeling, texture mapping and simple animations. No previous modeling experience is required. The course is directed towards Unity game developers specifically, but a student could learn what they need from this course for any video game development platform. This is not a course to improve your skills as a programmer or game designer. This course skips over areas of Blender that do not pertain to video game development, and narrows in on just the stuff you want to learn!

I started on my creative journey over 30 years ago as a musician. Through the decades, I have picked up a wide variety of skills, with over 20 years as an accomplished website developer, programmer, graphics artist, photographer, journalist, published author, video game developer, 3D modeler and animator!
I have done lots of work for a wide variety of business over the years. In recent years, I have taken to Unity for game development with five games published on Steam so far. I'm very excited to be a full time game developer, and equally pleased to pass down some of my knowledge to you!
My friends describe me as a highly driven individual with a wide range of skills, capable of doing anything. I describe myself as curious, intuitive, sincere and above all.. honest.

Really nice and helpful introduction with many starting points to increase my modeling skills in Blender and Unity. It makes a lot of sense to follow up the exercises like Billy mentioned. He is a very good and experienced instructor.Tipp and note: I'm using two monitors, one for Udemy vids and the other for Blender. (Some little changes had come with the Blender 2.8 release in terms of shortcuts and the user interface, but that is not a big thing...)

I loved this course. It took me from a novice to intermediate 3D modeler. The meat of the course is the terminology and common props section. I wish Billy added more content in Level Design and the Animation section and that's why I gave it a 4.5/5 but overall this is a class worth getting and it is a stepping stone into advanced 3D modeling topics.

This curse si excelente for beginners, Im really Glad I found it!

Yes, this was very interactive and useful. every information and insights on how to navigate around the 3D view space are now much easier and fun to explore. This was an amazing class for me. The only issue am facing now is that the new version 2.8 has different layout and some of the options shown in the class are not applicable and sometimes lead to confusion, which is I think a good way to explore a bit more on our own and discover the options around the user interface and overall the best class so far.

Billy does a phenomenal job explaining away the intimidation I felt when I opened blender for the first time. I have been putting off 3D modeling for a couple years now because I was overwhelmed when I opened Blender for the first time after downloading it. Thanks to this course and Billy's approach I feel more confident and ready to delve into the world of 3D modeling with Blender! Fantastic course!

What i expected from the description. In my opinion, all the lectures have well described steps and easy to follow. Sometimes a bit too basic, but will still recommend this course to anyone getting into blender design :)

By Arturas on a month ago

Would be great if lessons would be shown in blender 2.8 version, there are plenty of UI changes that could slow you down (i need to google where to find what because of that)

By Martin van Tonder on 5 months ago

It's a good course.It would be nice to have documentation alongside the course to review some of the work instead of referring every now and again back to a video to view something you might have missed.The course felt bit rushed, especially when it came to modular rooftop.As mentioned, rigging and bones would be a nice addition, but I'm also in agreement that it's better suited for a whole other course.

By Philip Watson on 8 months ago

Very enjoyable so far. I'm very surprised how quick I'm learning this stuff. The tool is becoming less intimidating after every lecture. And I love the quizzes - a very nice touch! I'm very happy, thank you.

By Andree Henriksson on a month ago

Some different terms, like flymode is now walkmode, and a flymode have been added that behave a bit different. Key mapping for some stuff have also changed I noticed. Otherwise good introduction so far.

By Alessandro Pistocchi on 7 months ago

I always wanted to get started with 3D modelling. Other books and courses teach you what tools are available but not necessarily how to use them to create 3D models.This course did teach me what I needed.If I may suggest something, I actually would have preferred not to have the sections about animation and texturing at all in this course, maybe in a different course.However I am grateful to the author for getting me started with 3D modelling :-)
