Blender 3D is rendering software that offers many features that are sure to work for even the most advanced rendering developer. This 3D cartoon character modeling tutorial teaches you how to create and render an image from a reference, which requires the application of many of Blender’s options and features. These range in complexity from the most basic functions like downloading and setting up Blender, viewport navigation, moving objects and scaling on the x, y and z axes to the more advanced ones like adding modifiers, beveling and creating materials. 

This course familiarizes you with common Blender terms, including ‘viewport’, ‘wireframe mode’, ‘individual origin’ and many others. We take you through basic functions such as navigation, how to add reference images and clearly demonstrate the process of creating a cartoon character and their setting as we explore some of Blender’s advanced features, including the mirror, boolean and subdivision surface modifiers. We show you how to work with Bezier curves and adjust their bevel depth to form cylinders before adding colours and other materials to your image for the final render. This course covers the full use of colour, lights and cameras as you learn how to use emission to smooth out your image’s background by removing shadows and unifying its hue for the final render.

This Blender 3D course is great for even seasoned users of Blender because of the advanced features creating a 3D cartoon character uses, but, beginners will learn all they need to in order to do the same. You should enrol if you want to boost your graphics or 3D modeling career with some great new techniques for your design portfolio or if you are simply passionate about 3D modeling and are keen to learn some new skills for use in your graphic design hobby.
