Course Outline
Basics of working with the program
- The interface — understanding panels, workspaces, and windows; customizing the interface to suit your workflow
- Preferences — configuring mouse and keyboard support, keyboard shortcuts, system settings, and additional tools
- Navigating the 3D scene — camera positioning and quick switching between view windows
- Configuring object display options within the 3D scene
Basics of working with objects
- Selecting, creating, deleting, and grouping objects
- Managing object hierarchy within the scene
- Working in Object Mode and Edit Mode
- Object/body components: vertices, edges, and faces
Modeling basics
- Moving, rotating, and scaling objects and their components
- Modeling with key tools: Extrude, Inset, Bevel, Loop Cut, and Knife
- Modeling with key modifiers: Subdivision Surface, Solidify, Mirror, Boolean, Array, and Simple Deform
- Modeling best practices: building meshes from quads, avoiding triangles and N-gons, and controlling edge flow
- Modeling using symmetry
- Controlling mesh density
- Controlling edge sharpness and curvature
Modeling in practice
- General rules for creating organic and inorganic forms (hard surface modeling)
- Joining fragments of solid objects with different sections
- Modeling rules based on correct mesh topology
- Retopology — rebuilding part or all of the object mesh
- Aiding the modeling process with sculpting tools
- Modeling by carving
- Transferring carved surface details to a solid with correct topology
Create UV maps
