  • Preferences & mdash; configuring mouse and keyboard support, keyboard shortcuts, system settings and extras
  • Navigating in the 3D scene & mdash; camera positioning and quick switching between view windows

& nbsp; Basics of working with objects

  • Select, create, delete, and group objects
  • Manage the hierarchy of objects in the scene
  • Working in object mode and edit mode
  • Object / body components: vertices, edges, planes

Modeling basics

  • Moving, rotating and scaling objects and their components
  • Modeling with key tools: Extrude, Inset, Bevel, Loop Cut, Knife
  • Modeling with key modifiers: Subdivision Surface, Solidify, Mirror, Boolean, Array, Simple Deform
  • Modeling rules: meshing an object from a quadrilateral and avoiding triangles and n-angles, controlling the course of an edge loop
  • Modeling in symmetry
  • Controlling the object mesh density
  • Controlling sharpness and curvature of edges


Modeling in practice

  • General rules for creating organic and inorganic solids (hard surface modeling)
  • Joining fragments of a solid with different sections
  • Modeling rules due to correct mesh topology
  • Retopology & mdash; rebuilding part or all of the object mesh
  • Aiding the process of modeling the object mesh with sculpting tools
  • Modeling by carving
  • Transferring carved details in the surface of an object to a solid with the correct topology

Create UV maps

  • General rules for creating a UV map of an object
  • Plan the placement of object mesh cut edges
  • Create single and multi-element UV maps
  • Optimizing the UV map
