Master Blender and its tools with confidenceTransform objects using move, rotate, and scale toolsUnderstand core 3D concepts like modeling, materials, and lightingLearn modeling techniques to create your own 3D props and environments from scratchModel objects using extrusion, insetting, beveling, and loop cutsCreate specific materials such as water, dirt, metal and glassDesign items with volume, like books, pots, a table, and moreSet up professional lighting using HDRI imagesCreate pleasing compositions using the rule of thirdsAdd realistic depth of field to your cameraComplete a final, polished 3D render, ready to be sharedWould you love to create beautiful 3D art but feel the software is way too scary and overwhelming? Myke is here to show you that ANYONE can learn this skill.That includes you! This is the course that turns confusion into clarity and confidence.
Starting right at the beginning, Myke guides you through installing Blender (a free 3D modelling software), learning what everything does, and finding your way around. Nothing is rushed. He explains every tool clearly and with examples. You’ll not only discover what to click, but why you’re clicking it.
No boring theory either. You’ll begin modelling simple objects right off the bat, learning by doing (the best way!) and practicing new skills and tools as you go.
Myke will show you how to move items around in 3D space, shape objects, and turn simple blocks into real models. At first, you’ll practice with small wins, like modeling a book and adding color. Then, step by step, you’ll build something bigger and more exciting: a detailed greenhouse scene filled with books, plants, tools, glass, lighting, and tiny details that make your work feel real.
Plus, you’ll also learn how professional 3D artists work. You’ll organize your scene, place cameras, use lighting for mood, add materials, and render a final image you’ll be proud to share.
By the end of this course, Blender won’t feel complicated anymore. It will open a whole new world of possibilities for you. Whether you want to create art for fun or start a new career path, this course gives you a solid foundation to build on.

Welcome to your 3D journey. You’ll meet your instructor, Myke, who will help you master Blender’s fundamentals through fun, hands-on projects. Let’s go!
You’ll start your 3D adventure by downloading Blender and setting up your workspace, learning where everything is and how to customize it to fit your style.
Next, you’ll discover how to fly around your 3D world like a pro using simple mouse controls and view angles that make creating art way easier.
Finally, you’ll learn magic shortcuts that let you move, spin, and resize objects anywhere you want, giving you total control over your creations.
In this lesson, Myke shows you how to switch between working with whole objects and reshaping their insides by moving points, edges, and faces to create any shape you can imagine. He’ll teach you to use awesome tools like extrusion and beveling that help you pull out new parts and smooth sharp edges, making your models look way more realistic.
Then, you’ll put everything together by building a complete book from a plain cube and painting it with different colors and materials to make it look totally real.
Here’s where it gets really fun! Get ready to build an entire greenhouse scene from scratch, starting with wooden tables and walls, plus setting up your camera to capture the perfect view using cool composition tricks.
Flower pots, a curvy garden hose, and an awesome watering can are all waiting for you to create, combining everything you’ve learned so far.
Plus, you’ll discover a pro secret called kit bashing where you bring in ready-made objects and arrange them in your scene, without having to design everything yourself.
Your greenhouse truly comes to life here: With realistic lighting, colorful materials, and textures. You’ll learn camera tricks like blurring the background and adding a misty atmosphere to make your scene look like a real photo.
Tiny water droplets add that final touch of realism. And when you hit ‘render’ at last, you’ll watch Blender create your finished masterpiece that’s ready to show off to everyone!
