Blender 201 Adv + AI

SATURDAYS 4:30 – 8:15pm

5/2/26 to 6/20/25

Take your 3D skills to the next level with our comprehensive Blender 201 Advanced + AI class! In this advanced course, you’ll dive deeper into the world of 3D modeling, texturing, lighting, and animation using Blender, the free and open-source 3D creation software.

You will put your skills to the test by completing a final project that incorporates both hard surface and organic modeling techniques. You’ll master techniques such as sculpting, rigging, and physics simulations, and explore advanced topics like dynamic simulations, particle systems, and Python scripting.  Here’s what you’ll learn in the class:

  • Using Blender’s sculpting tools to create a mountainous scene.
  • Learn how to use Blender’s “Geometry Nodes” for creating stunning environments.
  • Understanding the particle system by modeling and animating.
  • Understanding Blender for applying dynamics to models.
  • Learn how to use AI Tools in Blender.
  • Understanding how to use and apply path animation to animate anything on a curve.
  • Understanding Blender dynamics by using “Dynamic Paint.”
  • Practical application for animating logos in Blender.

 

Duration: 8 Weeks (30 hours)

Prerequisite: Working knowledge of software programs such as Photoshop or Illustrator.  You need a recent vintage Mac or PC with 8GB of RAM and a good graphics card. For you laptop users, you will need  a three-button mouse and a full keyboard.  If working from a small screen, a large or second monitor is going to make life easier!  Blender is FREE, but students are responsible for purchasing and downloading their own software for use in this class.
