Advanced Blender 3D Training in Dublin, Ireland

This intensive program covers advanced Blender workflows for 3D modeling, texturing, lighting, animation, and rendering. Participants will gain hands-on experience with advanced modifiers, sculpting, shading, simulations, and rendering pipelines used in professional production.

Advanced Modeling, Sculpting & Shading

Session 1: Advanced Modeling Techniques

• Advanced modifiers (Boolean, Array, Shrinkwrap, etc.)
• Hard surface vs. organic modeling workflows
• Retopology techniques for animation/game assets

Session 2: Sculpting & Retopology

• Dynamic topology sculpting
• Multi-resolution sculpting for detail
• Retopology workflow for clean meshes

Session 3: Advanced Texturing & Shading

• UV unwrapping complex models
• Procedural vs. image textures
• Shader editor & node-based materials

Session 4: Lighting for Realism 

• HDRI environments
• Three-point lighting setups
• Volumetric lighting for atmosphere

Animation, Simulation & Rendering

Session 1: Advanced Animation Techniques

• Rigging with armatures & inverse kinematics (IK)
• Shape keys & drivers for facial/prop animation
• Camera animation & cinematic techniques

Session 2: Physics & Particle Simulations

• Cloth, smoke, and fluid simulations
• Particle systems for fire, hair, grass, and effects
• Dynamic collisions and baking simulations

Session 3: Rendering & Compositing

• Cycles vs. Eevee advanced settings
• Render optimization & denoising techniques
• Compositing with nodes (color correction, depth of field, effects)

Session 4: Final Wrap-Up

• Group review & feedback
• Best practices for production pipelines
