This class is meant for complete beginners to Blender. No experience in Blender (or 3d modeling in general) is needed to follow along, though it certainly wouldn't hurt! The included "Blender Crash Course" lessons will teach you everything you need to know to get started with the rest of the class.

• Blender Interface and Tools: We’ll learn about the many basic tools and interface elements within Blender while creating our cartoon bumblebee animation.
• Modeling: We’ll use basic modeling tools and modifiers such as mirroring and subdivision to create our bumblebee and environment.
• Lighting: We’ll set up a simple sunlight to accentuate our cartoon shaders.
• Shading: I’ll show you how to make colorful and stylized cartoon materials for our bumblebee and environment.
• Animation: I’ll walk you through animating your bumblebee by using simple keyframing and modifiers like cycles.
• Rendering: We’ll do some simple compositing and render our final image in Blender so you can share it with your friends and family on social media.
