Concept and Blockout
Sketch an idea and build big forms.
Blender Creature Sculpting: Model Your Own Animal Character
A six-week course for ages 12 to 17 who know the Blender basics. Learners sculpt an original animal character, add colour and render a finished image.
Class Experience
The teacher sculpts live and explains each brush and why it is used. Learners work on their own creature and share screens for feedback. The course moves from blocking out big forms to details, colour and a simple lit render.
