Introduction to 3D Modeling – Blender Beginner Course by YanSculpts

This course is your no-fluff, straight-to-the-point introduction to 3D modeling in Blender. If you’ve never opened a 3D program before, you’re in the right place. YanSculpts walks you through the entire process, from installing Blender to building complex models like a low-poly car and a full Tedflix set. It’s 21 hours of focused, practical training designed to build a solid foundation.

🎯 What you’ll learn

• Navigate Blender’s UI and 3D viewport with confidence.
• Master essential modeling tools: Extrude, Bevel, Loop Cut, and Knife.
• Understand topology and retopology for clean, animation-ready models.
• Complete a series of projects: a barrel, soda can, coffee mug, treasure chest, low-poly car, and a Tedflix set.

✅ Requirements

• Skills: No prior 3D experience needed. This course starts from absolute zero.
• Tools: A computer capable of running Blender 3.0 or newer.
• Hardware: A 3-button mouse with a scroll wheel is highly recommended for viewport navigation.

📝 Description

This isn’t a “watch me model” video. YanSculpts focuses on why things work, not just how to click buttons. You’ll learn the logic behind topology, why certain edge flows are better for deformation, and how to fix messy geometry with retopology. The course is structured like a bootcamp: you get theory, then you immediately apply it by building real objects.

The V1.1 update added a massive 6-hour chapter on modeling “Tedflix,” turning a simple assignment into a full-blown production walkthrough. You’ll get the blend files for every project, so you can compare your work or jump ahead if you get stuck. The teaching style is direct and patient, perfect for anyone who felt overwhelmed by Blender’s interface before.

🧑‍🎓 Who this course is for

• Complete beginners who have never used Blender or any 3D software.
• Artists transitioning from 2D to 3D who need a structured, foundational course.
• Hobbyists who want to build a strong understanding of modeling principles, not just memorize hotkeys.
