What we recommend...

We recommend beginners to Blender start with this course, A Complete Guide to 3D Modelling in Blender. Here you’ll get an overview of the programme, learning the different tools and techniques needed to create this scene from scratch.

After completing this course, or with an equivalent knowledge of the basics of Blender, you can choose any route you like, depending on your interests. Our courses are all beginner-friendly and self-contained; we aim to build on learning and explain concepts, and won’t assume prior knowledge.

Just choose what interests you and jump in!
