Blender 3D for Beginners

Model, texture, light, render and animate your first 3D scenes in free, open-source Blender

Ghosla Academy · 3D & Motion Team

Blender is a free and open-source 3D suite used for modelling, materials, lighting, rendering and animation. This course takes you from the very first launch to rendering and animating your own scenes, one tool at a time, with clear shortcuts and practice tasks. You will build Indian-themed props like a kulhad, a chai kettle and a small stall table, light them, render still images and finish with an animated product turntable for your portfolio. We also cover good file habits, export formats and the 3D career paths available in India's animation, gaming and visualisation industry.

What you will be able to do

  • Navigate Blender's interface and 3D viewport confidently
  • Model objects with Edit Mode tools like extrude, inset, loop cut and bevel
  • Use modifiers such as Subdivision Surface, Mirror, Array and Solidify
  • Create realistic materials with the Principled BSDF shader
  • Light, frame and render scenes in Eevee and Cycles
  • Animate with keyframes and export a portfolio-ready turntable video

What you build

  • Chai stall props: kulhad, kettle and table
  • Animated product turntable video

What you need to start

  • A laptop or desktop that meets Blender's minimum requirements (check blender.org)
  • A three-button mouse is strongly recommended
  • No prior 3D experience needed
