PRD-210: Blender Intro for ID

This course is an introduction to Blender for Product Design as a powerful modeling tool to bring your concepts into the 3D digital world. You will follow step by step Demos to narrow down the vast functionality of Blender for a beginners approach onto building objects with confidence. We will focus on software interface, foundational tools, workflow, modeling from sketches and EEVEE as our Rendering Engine for our final visualizations. The final outcome from this course will give you the skills to build 3D objects in Blender using tools like Subdivide, Loop cuts, Bevels, Extrudes and Insert Faces. Students will have a good overview on setting up clean scenes with emphasis in lighting control to create strong 2D presentation images, applying Materials and Textures, and to create simple but effective animations for a well rounded beginner's course.
