Why learn 3D?


3D can be just another design tool to get things done. It’s on the rise and you can incorporate 3D illustration into your everyday design workflow. I have prepared a little pinboard so you can see for yourself.

The tricky part is knowing what to learn. Hunting scattered YouTube videos and putting the puzzle pieces together can take a lot of your time. And your time is an asset.

Episode 1

Sushi


You will learn the essential Blender controls and create your first ever 3D illustration in only one hour. Includes basic geometry modeling, lighting and rendering your image.

Episode 2

Forest Road


Building on the essential skills from first episode, you will learn new modeling tools and some procedural workflow using modifiers. You will also add some effects using texture painting and lighting.

Episode 3

Ancient Ruins


You will push the geometry modeling skills even further and take full manual control. You will also learn about composition, particle systems and how to create style using ambient lighting and light painting.

Episode 4

Cloud 66


You will tackle the creativity itself and learn how to come up with project ideas. New modeling tips, tricks and shortcuts are waiting on you. Reusing geometry, curves, cables, fonts, fog and car modeling. One low poly lesson to rule them all.

Episode 5

Home Office


You will break the cycle of flat shaded low poly style and create a stylish isometric room with natural lighting. Learn about realistic materials and textures and smooth and rounded modeling techniques to bring more fidelity into your designs.

Polygon Runway Method


With me, you jump right into action and within the first hour, you will have your first 3D illustration rendered! Let me show you the image, that one of the students created. One hour lesson is all it took!

I won’t bore you with lengthy fundamentals sections. You will only learn essential information as you go, and by the end of the course, you will find out that there is no limit on what you can create. At every step, I share my personal workflow tips and every time add a little bit of a secret sauce to the mix :)

Additionally, every chapter has a dedicated downloadable file, so if for some reason you feel like skipping particular chapter, you can continue working right where the next chapter starts.


You get the most out of your time.

Why Blender


Is it possible, that open-source completely free software can reach the level of industry standard packages? Even if it sounds too good to be true, it’s a reality. Since the release of version 2.8 in 2019, it has a beautiful and intuitive UI, amazing render engines and complete set of tools, that you need for 3D production. Did you know, that Netflix full feature animated movie Next Gen was made completely in Blender?

Bonus content


There are bonus video chapters on topics, that extend the knowledge and can be applied to every scene from the original episodes. Right away, you gain access to closed community group, where I will personally try to answer any questions or struggles you might encounter on your 3D illustrator journey. Additionally, there are two 3D models asset packs waiting for you to use without limitation on all your personal and commercial projects.


200+ scenes to download for FREE


In addition to the course and bonus content, you get every scene, that I have ever done for my YouTube videos. That's already 100+ scenes with 4-8 new scenes coming every month. So you get access to the same content, that my Patrons get, so it's addtional $84 yearly value for free.
