Description
Do you want to make 3D game assets for your own games? Perhaps you want to make animated cinematic scenes. If you've been wanting to get into 3D modeling in Blender, this is the perfect course.

I assume you have absolutely zero knowledge or experience in Blender, and we take it from the absolute basics. You'll learn the most important mesh editing tools and modifiers, and throughout the course you'll be challenged to make your own creations to apply the knowledge you've learned.

Each video has a mini-challenge, and I work through the solution as well.

Each section has a section challenge, which is more ambitious. I still work through the solution!

The end of the course challenge puts all of your skills to use, creating a full weapon asset!
