Skillshare – Blender Beginner: Your first Western Style Rifle

Do you dream of creating movies and video games? Have you watched Pixar and Dreamworks waiting for the time when you can show your creativity to the world? Then, when you try to make something or even think about how to use the programs that would allow your imagination to be free, you get discouraged. If that’s you, you’ve come to the right place. In this course, we’re going to focus on a much-overlooked skill as we teach you the basics of Blender.

If you are interested in making movies or video games you’re going to need characters, but those characters will need various props to go along with them. In this class, we’re going to teach you how to model an old Western-style rifle. This is useful because the rifle has wood and metal pieces. This same technique could be used for furniture, machines, and architecture.

We’ll also show you how to use a reference to make anything you want. If you want to make the character that goes along with this rifle check out this class. We’ll even show you how to add the rifle to the Sherif character. Don’t worry if you haven’t made the sheriff either, will even provide the sheriff blender file.
