3D modelling has transformed how industries visualise and create — from animated films and video games to architectural visualisations, product prototypes, and virtual reality experiences. In this course you’ll learn the foundational principles of 3D modelling and animation using Blender, one of the most powerful and widely-used 3D tools in the world. Starting with the Blender interface and basic object creation, you’ll progress through core modelling techniques, UV unwrapping, texturing with PBR materials, virtual lighting, atmosphere effects, and basic animation. The course is designed for complete beginners, building your skills systematically through the full 3D production pipeline. You’ll leave with a Certificate of Completion from the Academy of Digital Arts and a portfolio of 3D renders and animations.
