Blender 4 Foundations

A Beginner’s Guide to 3D Creation with Confidence

Get started the right way with Blender 4 – no fluff, no overwhelm, just solid fundamentals.

Start Your 3D Journey with Confidence

Are you new to 3D and unsure where to begin?

Blender 4 Foundations is the perfect entry point for absolute beginners. Built from the ground up for Blender 4, this course teaches you the core skills and concepts often skipped or rushed in other training — giving you a clear, solid base to build on.

You won’t be diving deep into every tiny feature or buried in menus. Instead, we’ll focus on big-picture workflows, good habits, and practical understanding. You'll learn box modelling, a fast and intuitive method for shaping models, with only light use of edit mode where it’s absolutely needed.

This is not just a "press-this-button" tutorial. It’s a course about why things work the way they do, and how to use Blender with purpose from day one.

What You’ll Learn

Section 1: Setting Up Blender

Is your computer ready for Blender 4?

Step-by-step installation for Windows, Mac, and Linux

Blender preferences explained clearly

How to revert Blender if things go wrong

Section 2: Getting Help

Learn to navigate the Blender Manual properly

Use our “Save Points” system to backtrack easily if things go wrong

Shift from passive watching to active learning

Section 3: A Look Around Blender

Understand Blender’s interface and workspaces

Use multi-monitor setups, screencast keys, and shortcuts efficiently

Set up a clean, reliable default startup file

Section 4: Box Modelling in Blender

Focus on object-level modelling: transforms, snapping, duplication, collections, and more

Use modifiers (Array, Bevel, Mirror, Boolean) instead of jumping deep into edit mode

Create fun beginner-friendly projects: barrels, rockets, staircases, mechs, and more

Build scenes fast and clean with a big-picture mindset

Section 5: Basic Materials

Learn about PBR materials and how to apply colour without overcomplicating it

Use the Shading workspace effectively

A sneak peek at textures without diving into complexity

Section 6: Lighting and Camera

Understand basic and environmental lighting setups

Learn how cameras work — focal length, perspective, and safe zones

Set the stage for polished, clean renders

Section 7: Rendering

What is rendering, and why does it matter?

Learn to render with Eevee, Cycles, and Workbench

Set up output settings for sharing your work

Tackle real-world challenges to solidify your skills

Why This Course Stands Out

True beginner focus – no experience needed

Blender 4-first – everything tailored to the latest version

Project-driven – learn by doing, not just watching

Minimal edit mode – you’ll learn to model with confidence using object-level tools

Strong fundamentals – we cover what others gloss over: naming, organisation, viewport control, and proper workflow habits

Challenges included – fun, clear projects that help you practice what you’ve learned
