INTRO TO 3D GRAPHICS WITH BLENDER

30 minutes of video + 60 minutes hands-on practice = one finished portfolio piece. From navigating 3D space to a polished product render and your first camera animation — with zero overwhelm.

Recommended Next A natural first step towards our Drawing and Animation workshops.

Self-paced online course • Instant access • Free tool (Blender)

Why this course?

Blender is one of the most powerful 3D tools in the world — and it's completely free. This course cuts through the noise. In 30 focused minutes you'll understand space, camera, and light well enough to produce professional results.

Zero overwhelm

We skip the buttons you don't need. Focus only on what matters for a real 3D result.

Space & Story

Understand how 3D space, framing, and composition work together to tell a story.

Fast visual results

Produce two high-end still renders and your first camera animation in a single session.

Free professional tool

Blender is 100% free and open-source. No subscriptions, no barriers to your creativity.

Template included

Start with a ready-made professional scene so you spend time learning, not setting up.

What Parents Say

My 14-year-old son was always playing games; now he's creating them. He finished his first 3D room in one afternoon and felt so proud.

Maria, Parent of a 14-year-old

I wanted a course that wasn't just "follow me". This taught my daughter 3D space and logic that she now uses for her school projects.
