About this course

Model, texture, light, render and animate in Blender, closing with a portfolio-ready rendered scene.

This is a 6-week short course - enough depth to build real projects and a portfolio piece, without a long commitment. It runs online in the August 2026 cohort (starting 1 August 2026) and is taught the EchoLens way: you learn by doing real, gradeable work rather than just watching lectures.

What's included

Live, instructor-led online sessions across 6 weeks (18 hours total).
Hands-on coding quests you solve inside the EchoLens browser compiler - nothing to install.
Gems, stages and a leaderboard that keep you moving instead of grade anxiety.
A verified certificate with a scannable QR code, ready to share on LinkedIn, when you finish.
The first week is open free so you can try the course before you pay.

What you will learn

The 3D pipeline and the Blender interfacePrimitives and transform toolsMesh editing: extrude, inset, bevel, loop cutModifiers: Mirror, Subdivision, Solidify, Screw, Array, BooleanOrganic modeling, curves, and ShrinkwrapUV unwrappingPBR texturing and materialsLighting: three point and HDRICameras, composition, and rendering with Eevee and CyclesAnimation: keyframes and interpolation

Course learning outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

CLO 1. Model clean, non-destructive 3D geometry in Blender using primitives, mesh editing, and modifiers.
CLO 2. UV unwrap and texture a model with PBR materials, then light and compose it for a professional render.
CLO 3. Animate an object with keyframes and interpolation, and export a finished, portfolio-ready render.

Course outline - level by level

12 leveles, each with hands-on quests you clear in the portal.

Level 1. Introduction to 3D and the interface - The 3D pipeline, interface tour, viewport shading modes, navigation and scene setup
Level 2. Basic objects and transform tools - Adding primitives, the 3D cursor, move/rotate/scale, object origin and snapping
Level 3. Edit mode and mesh editing basics - Vertices, edges and faces, extrude/inset/bevel/loop cut/subdivide/merge, normals and face orientation
Level 4. Modifiers I: Mirror and Subdivision Surface - Non-destructive modeling philosophy, the Mirror modifier, Subdivision Surface and edge creasing
Level 5. Modifiers II: Solidify and Screw - Solidify for thickness, Screw for lathed geometry, where each modifier fits in a real model
Level 6. Modifiers III: Array and Boolean - Array for repeating geometry, Boolean union/difference/intersect, cleanup after booleans
Level 7. Organic modeling and curves - Topology for organic surfaces, Shrinkwrap and proportional editing, Bezier curves and curve-to-mesh conversion
Level 8. UV unwrapping fundamentals - Why UVs matter, placing seams, Smart UV Project / Unwrap / Follow Active Quads, checking results in the UV editor
Level 9. Texturing and PBR materials basics - PBR base colour/roughness/metallic/normal/height, sourcing and applying image textures, preview vs rendered view
Level 10. Lighting fundamentals - Light types, three point lighting (key/fill/rim), environment and HDRI lighting, colour and mood
Level 11. Cameras, composition, and rendering - Focal length and depth of field, composition (rule of thirds, leading lines), Eevee vs Cycles, render settings
Level 12. Animation basics and final project - The timeline and keyframes, animating location/rotation/scale, interpolation, parenting and exporting

How you submit: Quests submitted as PDF or image exports - multiple files per submission.

A Rendered 3D Product Scene with Animation

One polished, lit, textured 3D scene with a short animation, the reel piece that wins 3D freelance work.

Combine everything from the six weeks into one finished piece: a modelled object or small scene, properly UV unwrapped and textured with PBR materials, lit for mood, composed through a camera, and finished with a short animation and a final render. Most students build a product visualisation, the exact deliverable clients pay for.

✓A model built with clean geometry using at least three modifiers from the course
✓Correct UV unwrapping with no visible stretching
✓PBR materials with at least one image texture and one normal map
✓A deliberate lighting setup, three point or HDRI, that sets a mood
✓A camera composed with the rule of thirds and depth of field
✓A short animation, a turntable or object motion, with proper interpolation
✓A final still render and a rendered animation exported in a shareable format
✓Consistent quality that looks intentional, not accidental

Shipped when: The still render looks like a finished product shot, the animation plays smoothly, the textures sit right with no stretching, and the piece is good enough to post on a portfolio or a reel.

Who it's for

3D Modeling, Rendering and Introductory Animation suits learners at a beginner to intermediate level who want a practical, project-based route into 3D Modeling. You need only a browser and an internet connection - all coding runs inside the EchoLens compiler, so there is nothing to set up.
