Blender and 3D animation creation: 4 Materials, lighting, and rendering

From 84 C$ /h

Blender is more than just animation software; it was designed to cover all aspects of animated filmmaking, integrating asset and character modeling, animation, lighting, special effects, compositing, and video editing. Still unsure? You can also learn more about these courses and ask your questions during one of the two weekly sessions available at the Apprentus minimum price – see the course "Blender and 3D Animation Creation: An Introduction."

Course objective: to create materials or use pre-configured materials. To paint textures.
But also: placing your lights, creating a lighting rig, using gobos and setting up your sources to get the most out of your creation.
Finally, distinguish between biased and ray-traced rendering (Evee and Cycles) and configure these two engines according to your needs and resources.
This course is associated with a common reference site accessible between courses, containing the content, shortcuts used, tutorials and additional exercises.

About Me

A computer graphics professional for almost 30 years, I discovered the delights of 3D animation in the early 2000s. I had the opportunity to work in the studio on the production of a feature film (Glenn the Flying Robot (Biff 2010, Marc Goldstein, Osiris Entertainment)) and several short films (including: Control, E. Somkiat, Anima 2012).
I have also used these skills in the field of marketing and communication (Vesuvius / METEC 2015 / 2019 / 2023) for many years. I currently teach Blender in 3D animation at EPSE Enghien (Bachelor's degree in Computer Graphics).

Along a marked path, I propose to make available to graphic creators an extremely powerful open source tool, which puts within reach of the individual an art previously reserved for a large and experienced team.

in this class i will teach you how to make a character for videogame. you will be taught how to approach it by using software like zbrush, maya, substance painter, etc
we will start with discussing the concept and then proceed to sketching in zbrush, then we make the costume using Marvelous Designer and/or zbrush, at the same time we will create the gears and any accessories needed for the character, after that we go to maya for retopo, then toolbag for baking, sp for texturing and finally we render it in toolbag

We will cover:

- advanced modelling
- high resolution modeling/sculpting
- low resolution modeling (retopology)
- texturing
- materials
- lighting
- rendering (real time rendering)

note that this class require more than one session to help you achieve what you want, simply you ask me to help you with the things you don't know of the process

Editing video can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. But however complex you want the final product to be, you will find the process far more enjoyable if you take a few moments to prepare from the very beginning, preferably before you even start to record any footage.

Conclusion. Video editing is important because it is the key to blending images and sounds to make us feel emotionally connected and sometimes truly there in the film we're watching. It's a safe assumption to say that video editing is among the most important jobs in the film industry.

Come and discover digital arts, animation and illustration with me. I am an artist that works in digital and traditional illustrations. You can enjoy with me the world of the line, shapes, colours and even stories using different kind of techniques such as pencil, ink, markers, watercolour and colours. We can also use in the digital world Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator. clip studio, paint, medibang paint and Firealpaca.

Digital art requires no less skill than traditional art making, but it does require a different mode of thinking. Yes, a digital device will have the ability to make a stroke look and layer like watercolour or give the texture of drawing with charcoal. However, when one learns traditional art techniques, they gain a deeper understanding of the materials and what they can do.

Do you love Disney and animated movies? Do you want to bring your characters to life? Well this is your course!
Every week we will have an animation practice
So your level of knowledge will increase exponentially
In addition, they are fun and personalized classes
We will start with basic methodology, very simple balls and bipeds
We'll move on to body mechanics, you know, parkours, dances...
We will continue with pantomimes... here are the laughs, allow yourself to create and add humor to your animations!
We'll continue with Acting (oh yeah, it's the hardest part but where the animations really start to come to life)
And finally we will see a cartoon style that is based on traditional animation
What are you waiting for?

You will learn the basics of modeling in a professional and scientific manner that will enable you to build three-dimensional models with ease and skill, such as:
Buildings, aircraft, cars, furniture and various products for companies.
And the consequences of this, including lighting, colors, and rendering (export), all of this in gradual, thoughtful, and scientific steps that put your foot firmly on the path to professionalism and mastery.
These lessons feature continuous supervision and practical work that we will work on so that you can generalize these skills and tools to everything that comes to your mind.
Due to my long experience, I can confirm that, through the first lessons, you will relate to modeling and the program on your next professional path.

Drawing and writing are two ancient forms of expression that many artists have used before becoming masters in their field. Traditional frame-by-frame animation (on paper or in 2D on a computer) is a less ancient process but highly instructive in the understanding of movement. This audiovisual technique obviously allows us to express ourselves in a more modern medium that combines image and sound to entertain, make people laugh, move them or transmit strong values.

With 12 years of experience in the Academy of Fine Arts, a Bachelor's degree in Visual and Spatial Arts from Saint-Luc, Brussels, and a Master's degree in Animation Cinema from the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent (the oldest animation teaching department in Europe), I offer:

- For beginners: an initiation and understanding of the basics of drawing from imagination and observation in order to gradually acquire an increasingly solid technique.

- For intermediate/students in art education or more experienced enthusiasts: development of their already acquired techniques, correction of defects as well as help with projects requested by the school or for amateurs who wish to design a written/drawn/animated work for their pleasure.

- For advanced/higher education students in ESA: sustained assistance and coaching for the development of projects whether in drawing, writing, storyboarding, animation or concept (installation, video game experience). Finally, I offer these more seasoned artists the development of their own style in order to distinguish themselves and offer a unique aesthetic for their singular point of view on the world.

I’m a SideFX Certified Instructor and 3D artist with 20 years of experience in CGI. I offer one-to-one online Houdini lessons tailored to your level, interests, and goals.

If you’re new to Houdini, we can start with the interface, nodes, attributes, and the principles of procedural modeling. If you already use it, we can focus on VEX, simulations, lighting and rendering, or building more effective procedural workflows. I can also help you understand and troubleshoot a project you’re working on.

Lessons are practical: we’ll work in Houdini together, and I’ll explain the reasoning behind each step so you can apply what you learn independently. Before our first session, tell me about your experience and what you’d like to achieve, and I’ll prepare a lesson around it.
