Course Summary
Blender 3D models are the center of everything created in 3D, so they’re important to create properly. Topology is how a mesh’s vertices, edges, and faces combine to form shapes, and good topology uses those components in the most practical way possible. In this beginner Blender training course, you’ll learn a slew of mesh editing and selection tools, as well as how to use them to create good topology. By the end of these tutorials, you should be able to model anything that you set your mind to after following this set of Blender modeling tutorials.
