Get familiar with the Blender interface and its basic commands.

We create and modify any kind of geometry we need to build the 3D scene.

Blender has several tools to parametrically and non-destructively modify geometries.

On the web we will find already made objects that save us time. But not all are ready to use and must be managed.

We'll learn the basics of lighting a scene with different types of light sources.

To study the lighting of a scene we prefer not to apply any material or color. We would have a clearer idea of the relationship between light and shadow.

Lighting is not always generated by light objects. Let’s see what other methods can be used.

Methods and tricks to produce interesting light effects in a short time and with little work.

Let's study the materials in a conceptual way and free from any software, to better understand the logic of operation.

We'll become familiar with the Blender node editor and basic material parameters.

The application (mapping) of textures to surfaces can become a complex work and we see the main aspects.

When a material emits light, we can use it as a light source, but with some limitations and warnings.

Let's set the parameters of rendering and output of images and videos.

Let’s discover the composer, the wonderful tool of Blender for post-production.

Blender can become a photo editing and video editing software, which saves us time, costs and work on additional external software.

Let’s sum up what we’ve learned: in Blender we work on the stage like a conductor works with sections of musicians.
