Blender 3d Modeling: Furniture, Figures and Everyday Objects

Welcome to our Blender 3D Modeling Workshop and dive into the world of 3D modeling, lighting, and rendering!

WORKSHOP AGENDA

Whether you’re just starting out or an expert looking for a fun project, this workshop is for you! Join the digital dabblers and make your very own 3D render in Blender!

We’ll cover:

• We will start by going through an overview of Blender, the UI, settings/preferences, and leave time for open Q/A (20 mins)
• Next we will begin modeling a coffee mug (or similar 3d object)! (30-45 mins), this will cover the basics of 3d modeling such as: extruding, bevel tool, loop cuts, tips/tricks for selecting and handling a 3d mesh.
• After this we will add some style to your 3d object! (30 mins), covering the basics of setting up shader nodes and talking conceptually about rendering.
• Last, we will render our objects and compare results in two render engines (Cycles and Eevee).

But that’s not all – we’ll also have plenty of coffee, tea & snacks on hand to keep you energized and focused throughout the workshop.
