Blender Fundamentals Training

12. September 2023 By admin

Would you like to learn Blender in a well-founded and structured way?

Then I would like to present you my publication “pixeltrain – Blender Fundamentals >> Fast Forward”.

In 137 lessons with a duration of nearly 25 hours, I take you through the complete fundamentals of Blender and the basic workflows you need to know to get started with this amazing free software.

This training is designed to get you up and running quickly, enabling you with the skills needed to work effectively in this incredibly powerful 3d package.

No matter whether you are a beginner in the Blender world or already have previous knowledge of other 3D applications.

Additionally, it lays the foundation of essential concepts and paradigms to understand more advanced topics for other areas and workflows of Blender 3d down the road.

With additional PLUS chapters, you can refine your know-how if necessary and determine your own personal learning path.

If you have any questions while learning, I’m available to you in my Discord.
