Class experience
CLASS DESCRIPTION If you have seen 3D models in video games and movies and want to learn how to create your own, this class is a great place to start. This class is open to beginner and experienced Blender users. Everyone will work at their own pace. We will cover 3D modeling tools including extrude, loop cut, inset, proportional editing and more as we create a neighborhood complete with modern houses, sidewalks and roads, trees, other plants, fences, and more. When finished we will add...
5 lessons//1 Week
Week 1Lesson 1Modeling the street and lawnStudents will need to have Blender already installed and running for their first day of class. We will use modeling tools to create a base lawn, street, and sidewalk as the foundation for the rest of the scene. This will include using the loop cut, extrusion, scale, move and rotation tools. Scale will be emphasized so students start thinking about how a character might move about the 3d space in a movie or game.Lesson 2Modeling a modern houseNext we will model a modern house complete with different extensions like a garage and multiple rooms. We will then add the roof (flat and slanted are covered) and other base structures. Tools used will include extrude, loop cut, rotation, scale, move, bridge, inset, and bevel. We will continue our exploration of materials including how to re-use and alter existing materials.Lesson 3Add details to the houseNow it's time for adding architectural elements. We will cut doors and windows into the base mesh using the loop cut tool, extrude the faces inward, and use the inset tool. We will also layer items on top of the base mesh such as chimneys and vents. As students work they will be encouraged to explore the backstory of their neighborhood to give additional character as if someone actually lives there.Lesson 4Modeling plants and treesWith our house completed we can now add plants and trees of different types. We will cover how to create base props that can be duplicated and then altered quickly for a variety of iterations. Students will use the proportional editing tool for this process to stretch the mesh for a more organic look and feel.Lesson 5Adding extra detailsDuring the final day we will cover how to add fences, lamp posts, mailboxes, satellite dishes, trash cans, clouds, and other props that can enliven the scene with character. They will then learn how to light their scene with a sun light, prepare it for rendering by finding the right camera composition, and then render an image of their final work that they can share with anyone.
The main goal is to make sure students can understand and use the techniques introduced in class successfully on their own time. The focus is on progress, not perfection.
Please watch my teacher profile video to learn more. https://outschool.com/teachers/lukas-allenbaugh I have been teaching art (animation, illustration, sculpture, painting, and digital art) to elementary and teenage students consistently for over 25 years. My teaching includes 4 years as a public school teacher, 15 years as the owner of the Creative Art Network (after-school, during school, and summer programs) and 12 years as an artist in residence (mural painting focus). I've also been designing elaborate video tutorials since 2008 for a large variety of mediums. I love what I do and that passion drives my ongoing learning. I’ve studied traditional art through Cornish College of the Arts, Western Wa University, and a variety of other classes. The source of my ongoing digital art training (Primarily 2d digital illustration and animation and 3D modeling and animation) is through Animation Mentor, Think Tank Training Center of Canada, CG Masters academy, CG Boost Academy, Udemy, Skillshare, InLearning, and much more
Homework Offered
Optional homework will include a description of possible ways to keep practicing with the concepts learned for each class session. For example, if we are working on applying materials, students can experiment with adding more materials once class is over using the methods covered in class.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
