Description:
Hello my dear students,

In this course, we will model an amazing 3D fantasy land with you. We will get to know the Blender 3D program, then we will make perfect models. This course is an excellent resource for anyone who loves to learn and wants to improve their 3D modeling field. 3D modeling is mainly used in animation movies, games, VFX (Visual Effects) creation, NFT collections and Metaverse Projects. Blender, on the other hand, is one of the incredible software that can do excellent work in all these areas. Plus Blender is completely FREE!

In this course, we will create models for NFT and Metaverse projects with Blender 3D, one of the 3D modelling programs.

Now, if you are ready, let’s move on to the most frequently asked questions.

What is NFT?
The technology known as NFT, that is, Non-Fungible Token, proves the belonging of a picture, video, the sound or physical entity it represents. In other words, it helps us to own all virtual content. As a matter of fact, this technology is not so new, NFTs, whose foundations were laid in Ethereum in 2017, have become one of the most popular topics in the crypto money industry in 2021.

After completing this course, you will receive a certificate of attendance for completing the course!

So what is the difference between NFTs?
Friends, NFTs cannot be divided, reproduced or repeated. In other words, content produced and sold in this way cannot be thousands like cryptocurrencies. Every NFT is special and therefore carries great meaning. The uniqueness of NFTs makes them much, much more meaningful. For example, cryptocurrencies such as BTC and ETH can be transferred by dividing them into fractions, while NFT is bought and sold alone as a whole.

So how are NFTs produced?
As it is known, NFTs are produced according to the ERC-721 token standard prepared by Ethereum developers. NFT trading can be carried out on special platforms established for NFTs by avoiding the intense code complexity of the IT world.

NFT is a digital asset so you need a digital blockchain wallet for that. For this, the widely used METAMASK wallets can be preferred. We have covered the METAMASK wallet setup in detail in our courses. We invite everyone who does not want to miss the train on NFTs to our platform. After you upload the file you want to print as NFT to the IPFS system via these platforms, you need to provide some information for this NFT. You should write information such as NFT sales price, name, number. Once the transaction is complete, your content is transferred to the relevant wallet and saved on your preferred blockchain network.

How can I get NFT?
You can buy and sell NFTs on special platforms prepared for this.

What are NFT sales types?
NFTs are usually sold as eth. Some NFT manufacturers sell their NFTs by auction, while others set a direct selling price for the new one.

In which sectors is NFT used?
In almost all current technologies, a place is reserved for NFT content. NFTs are sometimes used as a ticket when registering, when logging in, and sometimes as a reward or tool in games. In fact, some NFT communities may impose an obligation to buy NFT as a condition to help each other, so people who want to help by joining the community and get support from people who are more experienced than themselves can pay comfortably for only 1 NFT up to 20 thousand dollars.

Is NFT an investment?
I think absolutely yes because in one way or another you are paying for a digital piece of art. You can buy and sell this work on the NFT marketplace. The rarity of the piece in your hand multiplies its value.

What impact will NFTs have on the Future?
NFTs are a technology focused on solving the intellectual property problem. As you know, the future is built on the Blockchain network, and we can say that this network is the ground floor of the world of the future. The systems established years ago on this ground now enrich this field by bringing the technology of ownership. Just as there are land sales in METAVERSE technologies, the importance of immutable tokens in this field is proven exponentially day by day.
With its programmable feature, the first producer of the work on all platforms can determine the royalty fee from each purchase and sale while the work is in circulation. In this way, the fee determined when the sale is made can be transferred directly to the seller’s account.

What are the most notable sales of recent times?
Beeple (Mike Winkelmann) has sold a collage of his works for $69.4 million at auction by the auction house Christie’s. Lebron James’ slam dunk video NFT sold for $77,000 via the NBA Top Shot app. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s tweet was bought by a Turkish person for $2.9 million.
There are millions of sales transactions like this. The basic stages of NFT projects are quality information, quality content, quality marketing and proper function. It is the quality that sets it apart from the others that pave the way for an NFT to find buyers. This is where we step in. We enable you to gain expertise by teaching you the 3D basics. In this way, you will be able to create quality works with the knowledge and skills you have acquired.

What will we add to you?
Our courses will not only give you NFT training but also provide 3D modelling training. In this way, you can easily use it in animation movies, games, NFTs, and Metaverse projects.

Beginners Guide to the Particle System in Blender 2.9

[FXGEAR] Beginners Guide to the Particle System in Blender 2.9 introduce

About This Class
Do you want to learn how to use the Particle System in Blender to create awesome renders or animations? Do you want to feel confident while using particles? By the end of this course you will have an understanding of the functions in the particle system. In the first couple sections we will be focusing on the settings and what each one does. All the videos are labeled so it’s very easy to find a specific setting or value that you are wanting to learn.

One of the best ways to learn is to practice it yourself. That is why I have included 5 full tutorials in which we use the Particle System to create different renders and animations! The first one being on grass. We will be using hair particles to create the shape and from there we will learn how to create a realistic grass material.

The second tutorial is on fluid particles. After a basic overview we will jump straight into Blender and create a fluid particle animation together using the render engine Eevee.

Next up is low poly fire. For this one we will be using a trick in the particle system to change the size as the particle rises. We will also learn about materials and how to change the color overtime.

Hair is the next tutorial that we tackle in this course. You will learn from scratch how to add hair, style it the way you want and create a nice material.

Finally the last section of this course is on the smoke simulation and how you can emit smoke from the particles themselves.

Learning Blender can be very hard when you first start that’s why I built this course for all levels beginner to advanced. I will be showing you step by step on what to do and why we do it. From the basics of modeling to advanced techniques like creating grass with particle systems.

The program that is used in this course is Blender 3D.
Blender 3D is a free open source program that allows you to create literally anything on the computer!
You can download by going to their website.
I can’t wait to see the renders and animations you create!
Thanks

Instructor Credentials

My name is Mike Louis, and I’ll be your instructor for the Blender course. As a Creative Director and professional 3D Artist, I create design visuals to explain, teach complex ideas, solve problems and grab people’s attention. For close to 20 years, I’ve helped businesses visually and technically communicate with, train, and market to their target audience.

As the CEO and Creative Director of a creative design studio called ‘PolygonsWild’, my team and I have helped various brands such as Limu, AVT Simulation, Meggitt, CAE, and Florida Tech, to stand out from the competition with my team’s impressive and defined designs.

I’ve been drawing and illustrating ever since I first could hold a pencil; however, my journey as a professional 3D Designer and Multimedia Specialist began when I started my degree at Full Sail University. Initially, I primarily used Maya and Photoshop for 3D animation but then decided to try out Blender, which then became my favored 3D software.

Since then I’ve worked as a 3D, Simulation, and Design consultant at CAE, Multimedia Specialist, and 3D Consultant at Deloitte, and now work as a Metaverse & NFT Creative Consultant & Strategist at GPC/NAPA Auto Parts & Racing.

Course Description

is for those who are either brand-new to Blender or have had some exposure to it but need to understand it better.

This Blender course will cover all the basics, Modeling & Lighting techniques that especially focus on vehicle modeling skills such as making use of Moodboard, Blocking, Detailing, Scene Lighting, and basic and advanced animation workshops. I would recommend this course to beginners in Blender and in 3D in general. Also those who are experienced and may be looking for a refresher or interested in a more stylized approach to add to their portfolio.
To Students

Once you finish this course, you’ll be able to start designing your own 3D models with confidence, create complicated looking images using simple shapes, and add up amazing artworks in your portfolio.

What I require from you before taking this course is to have an open mind and to be patient. One of the best ways to learn is to keep playing each video back and forth, until you fully understand the content and the skills.

Don’t forget to have fun along the way!
