Become a 3D illustrator!
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.

Instant action
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 last year, 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?
I believe in Blender and I think it can be the first choice for the illustrators and designers when it comes to 3D.
