Description
In this course we will create together an animation of a planetarium in Blender . We will see together the basics in depth to move on to different concepts of modeling, texturing and animation and applying them to make the final animation.
This course is mainly suitable for beginners, for those who have never used Blender or for those who have used it little.
You will experience with your eyes how fast the learning curve of this powerful free and open source software for 3d modeling, animation and more is… You will see that with the right minimum set of skills we will be able to create something finished and visually nice.
The concepts we will see will be:
– Brief introduction to commands and navigation in the viewport, useful tricks and my personal workflow
– 3D modeling of the necessary objects
– Use of modifiers
– Use of constraints
– Construction of different types of materials
– Exposure of different modes of applications of materials
– Procedural and non-procedural
textures – Animation of objects
– Animation of procedural textures
– Differences between different rendering engines and how to obtain similar results in different configurations
To conclude we will build the final animation together with a camera, we will use the video sequencer to put together the frames produced and create a video of the animation that you can play with your favorite video player
