Learn how to create any material from scratch using nodes in Blender! This course is for you if you want to… Create realistic shaders without relying on images. Increase your knowledge of dozens of utility nodes for math, vector math, and colour & value manipulation. Take your procedural texturing skills to the next level. Create your own customisable procedural materials & textures for any Blender project. You’ll create many different textures, from beginner to advanced level (including mud shader, wood shader and brick shader). Along the way you’ll learn a lot of advanced techniques that you can then use to make any materials you can think of. All the while we’ll be showing you how to make your workflow more efficient and much faster, using the node wrangler add-on. You’ll learn procedural texturing, which is where you create your materials and shaders without using any image based textures. So anytime you need a particular pattern or look you’ll create it entirely using nodes (and some interesting maths!). This means you don’t need to worry about sourcing images or copyright issues. It also means that anytime you want to create a roughness map, or a bump map, or a normal map, you can do it right in the node editor without having to worry about figuring a way to convert your images into those other types of maps. You can also use procedural textures to create roughness maps or dirt maps to put on your own image based textures. This course is suitable for all levels of Blender users. We’ll provide you with all the assets, and start from scratch with every single material you make, taking you through it step by step. Create spectacular textures and become a Blender Material Nodes Master today.

Want to make fun 2D animations in Blender but not sure where to start? Maybe you’ve tried Grease Pencil and found it confusing - or you’d love to add hand-drawn flair to your 3D scenes but don’t know how. This course breaks it all down step by step, helping you create simple, expressive animations (no drawing skills required!) and unlock the creative power of Blender’s Grease Pencil. Blender’s Grease Pencil is an amazingly fun tool that lets you draw, animate, and create expressive 2D art inside a full 3D world. You can even sketch directly onto 3D objects to blend 2D and 3D in creative new ways. Because it can do so much, Grease Pencil can feel a bit intimidating at first. That’s why this course takes a simple, step-by-step approach - with fun projects, small challenges and a clear sense of progression to help you build skills and confidence as you go. It’s perfect for beginners to both Grease Pencil and Blender as a whole. You don’t need to be an artist, the projects are designed to be fun and achievable for anyone. All you need is a sense of curiosity (and ideally a graphics tablet, though a mouse works too). You’ll start by getting set up and learning the essentials like brushes, layers and materials. Then how to refine your strokes in Edit and Sculpt modes, which makes Blender’s Grease Pencil so unique. After that it’s straight into creating. You’ll draw a series of simple, fun projects from bouncing balls and colourful fish to quirky faces, cheeky cats and weird worms - learning animation basics along the way. You’ll discover how to animate efficiently, using shortcuts and automatic in-betweens to save time, and how to tidy up your work for smooth results. You’ll even explore rigging with bones to make your own moving characters, from a dancing worm to a car cruising down the road. As you progress, you’ll add sound and simple lip-syncing, then dive into the real magic of Grease Pencil - drawing inside 3D spaces. You’ll build a small 3D scene, then paint directly onto the objects to create a unique blend of 2D and 3D that feels hand-crafted and full of charm. By the end, you’ll have a collection of animated art pieces and a solid understanding of how to use Blender’s Grease Pencil for both 2D and 3D projects. You’ll be ready to bring your imagination to life and make a few wonderfully weird creations along the way.

Ever wanted to blow stuff up without getting in trouble? Welcome to our new Blender Visual Effects course! Dive into the world of splashes, explosions, and ultimate destruction, all from the safety of your computer screen.

We’ll kick things off with the basics of breaking stuff up in Blender. You'll learn to create epic explosions and break things like a pro. By the end, you'll be demolishing buildings and making cars go boom. It’s all about making chaos look awesome.

But it's not just about explosions. We'll get into the nitty-gritty of Blender's rigid bodies and particle systems. You’ll understand how to make objects collide and interact with realistic physics. It’s like playing with digital Legos that can explode!

Imagine jets flying across water, leaving waves behind. Yeah, we’ll teach you that too. You'll be able to add splashes and other effects to make your scenes come alive. It's all about making your animations or film look as cool as possible.

This course is perfect if you’re tired of your scenes looking flat and boring. Adding visual effects and physics simulations can take your work to the next level. You’ll make scenes that feel dynamic and action-packed.

We designed this course for intermediate to advanced Blender users. If you’re a newbie, you can still join in, but having some basic Blender skills will help. Trust us, you don’t want to start with explosions if you’ve never used Blender before!

One thing to note: visual effects can be a bit heavy on your computer. Make sure you have a reasonably powerful PC to keep up. Blender version 4 is recommended for the best experience.

By the end of this course, you'll have a toolkit full of awesome effects. From breaking stuff to making it splash, explode, and more, you’ll be a visual effects wizard. So, if you're ready to add some serious boom to your scenes, let’s get started!

Join now and let’s blow some stuff up together!

Ready to learn a powerful new tool for non-destructive, procedural modelling? Geometry Nodes allows to you create complex 3D models procedurally, so you can create models that may be difficult or time-consuming using traditional modelling. The non-destructive aspect of Geometry Nodes means changes can be made to your models and node trees without having to start from scratch. Dependencies can be built into node trees that will automatically take into account other changes in your scene. Geometry Nodes is flexible and efficient, allowing you to save all or portions of individual node trees to re-use later and save precious time. By creating node trees by visually connecting different nodes, Blender users can gain a greater understanding of the processes of procedural modelling. Learn the core concepts used in Geometry Nodes; data types, boolean math for selection, fields and attributes etc. Discover how to manipulate geometry, meshes and curves directly in the Geometry Node editor while learning about the most vital nodes and workflows. Create a Modifer that can be used to populate any mesh with a low-poly forest, complete with trees, rocks, bushes and grass. Use curves to create your own objects that can be used in your scenes, from simple blades of grass and leaves, fencing that follows terrain automatically, and finally a stylised tree generator. So if you want to learn a powerful new tool for non-destructive, procedural modelling and create your own modifiers, operators and mesh editing tools this is the course for you! You'll need a basic knowledge of Blender and the ability to run Blender 4.0 (or a later version of Blender). Dive in now and power up your Blender skills!
