This training introduces you to the marvelous world of Blender, the popular opensource 3d computer graphics software. The goal is to create step by step some stunning 3d art by the end of the training giving you the knowledge to start having fun with Blender and python.
It begins with basic Blender’s features such as 3D modeling tools, materials and textures, lighting, camera management and a few words about animation tools. Going deeper, we meet Blender’s most appreciated feature: physics simulation! Smoke, fluids, particles, rigid and soft bodies will all be under your control. Need more? We’ll see how to use the embedded Python interpreter and the Blender Python API to expand Blender, creating custom tools and automating boring tasks.
