This course features Coursera Coach!
A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. In this course, you’ll learn how to create detailed boat and lantern models in Blender using a variety of techniques, from basic to advanced. You will start by mastering the fundamental steps of building boat planks, constructing the boat frame, and adding structural supports. You’ll then progress into creating more intricate elements such as advanced prop modeling and scene management for stylized lanterns and boat accessories, ensuring each element is realistic and optimized for rendering. As you dive deeper into the course, you'll explore advanced UV techniques and material reuse to streamline your workflow. You’ll become proficient in unwrapping boat models, creating metal chains, and applying complex shaders to materials like wood, metal, and glass. With a focus on optimizing your scenes and preparing assets for export, this course will also teach you how to effectively manage collections, layers, and performance during final rendering stages. This course is ideal for intermediate Blender users looking to expand their skills in modeling, texturing, and scene optimization. It’s designed for those with basic knowledge of Blender, including navigation, simple modeling, and basic texturing. Whether you're building assets for games, animations, or 3D art, this course will elevate your abilities and teach you advanced techniques that will set your work apart. By the end of the course, you will be able to create complex boat and lantern models, apply advanced material and shader techniques, optimize Blender scenes for export, and manage UV unwrapping efficiently.
