2024 Blender Beginner Course – Create Cinematic Scenes by Daren Perincic

Embark on a comprehensive 12+ hour journey as we craft a realistic interpretation of an iconic scene from Spirited Away in this tutorial. Tailored for Blender beginners who have already dabbled in a few videos and are eager to broaden their expertise, this course is comprised of 56 videos, each averaging between 10-20 minutes. Structured for easy learning and flexibility, it allows you to advance at your own pace, divided into three key sections: Modeling, Texturing, and Animation.

Modeling: Take a guided tour through the installation of free plugins and the integration of valuable shortcuts into your workflow. Explore diverse modeling techniques, including hard surface modeling, mesh cleanup, and basic geometry node setups.

Texturing: Venture into various texturing methods, discovering how to source and utilize image textures, create procedural textures, and employ texture painting to infuse depth and realism into your renders.

Animation: In the final phase, master the art of animating your scene and use dynamic paint to craft a mesmerizing wavelike animation.

For added accessibility, all compositing tasks will be executed within Blender. However, if you’re proficient in After Effects, feel free to utilize it. I am excited to see the results of your creative endeavors!
