Yes. You can start learning 3d modeling on Coursera for free in two ways:

1. Preview the first module of many 3d modeling courses at no cost. This includes video lessons, readings, graded assignments, and Coursera Coach (where available).
2. Start a 7-day free trial for Specializations or Coursera Plus. This gives you full access to all course content across eligible programs within the timeframe of your trial.

If you want to keep learning, earn a certificate in 3d modeling, or unlock full course access after the preview or trial, you can upgrade or apply for financial aid.‎

To learn 3D modeling, start by selecting a course that matches your interests and skill level. Familiarize yourself with the software used in the industry, such as Blender or Autodesk Maya. Practice regularly by working on small projects, which will help reinforce your skills. Joining online communities or forums can provide support and feedback from other learners and professionals. Lastly, don't hesitate to explore tutorials and resources available online to supplement your learning.‎

Typical topics covered in 3D modeling courses include the basics of 3D space, modeling techniques, texturing, lighting, and rendering. Courses often explore different software tools and their applications, as well as best practices for creating realistic models. Advanced topics may include animation, rigging, and the integration of models into larger projects, such as games or architectural visualizations.‎

For training and upskilling employees in 3D modeling, courses like Design Computing: 3D Modeling in Rhinoceros with Python/Rhinoscript can be particularly beneficial. These courses are designed to enhance practical skills and knowledge, making them suitable for professionals looking to improve their capabilities in 3D modeling for various applications.‎
