Blender 4 Modeling and Geometry Node Workshop

About this course

This specialization 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 specialization. In this specialization, you will master Blender’s 3D modeling tools and advanced geometry nodes techniques. You will start by learning Blender’s viewport, navigation, and basic modeling concepts, then advance to using modifiers and references for architectural modeling. The foundation includes greyboxing techniques to build complex structures, and later, you will refine your models with texturing and shader techniques to enhance visual appeal. The journey continues with more advanced projects involving architectural elements like staircases, roofs, and windows. You'll also apply geometry nodes to create and optimize procedural designs for wood, stone, and metal components. Throughout, you'll learn how to manage assets, structure your projects, and optimize your workflow for larger models. This specialization is perfect for intermediate learners with basic Blender knowledge. By the end, you will be able to design and model advanced architectural elements, apply textures to complex models, optimize workflows, and create realistic 3D environments using Blender’s powerful tools and geometry nodes.
