This course is geared to anyone who wants to learn how to use Blender as well as the basics of 3D modeling, texturing, rendering, and exporting to a game engine.,A prior knowledge of Blender will really help out, though students who are beginners and follow along carefully can learn Blender rather quickly as we cover the basic aspects of the using the software.,Anyone who is looking for a complete Blender course that explains every tool and facet of the application should not take this course. This is a course that provides a practical project for 3D artists in real world settings, so not every tool and function will be explained.
