Blender’s popularity is skyrocketing! Hobbits and professional artists around the world embrace Blender because of its ability to support the entirety of the 3D pipeline. And following the massive 2020 upgrade introducing new UI features (version 2.8+), it’s now more popular than ever due to its accessibility and ease of use.
In this Blender masterclass, you will learn how to use the most important tools to create a modern Formula 1 car in its full complexity.
Our tutors, will show you all the tools required to equip you with the ability to create complex vehicles. Classes will focus on how to use the tools correctly, enhanced with practical exercises, personal reviews and working in tandem with other participants. Classes sizes are kept to a minimum to facilitate the best personal attention.
The course is developed for Designers and modellers using other 3D packages who want to shift to Blender fast.
After a strong intro to Blender, the course will focus on polymodeling techniques, applying different approaches to different parts of the car; like Hard surface, NURBS basic sculpting, Shrink-Wrap modifier and more
