Get amazing results in Blender 3D
Welcome to BlenderZen. Thomas McDonald teaches practical beginner–intermediate Blender courses here—3D printing, architecture, FreeCAD, Python, car modelling and rigging, and video editing—with enrolment on Udemy through instructor links.
3D Printing from Zero to Hero in Blender
Learn 3D modelling for 3D printing in Blender: FDM, MSLA resin, STL export, slicing, and models you can actually print. 10.5 hours of video.
Architectural Design & Animation in Blender
Model a house in Blender at real-world scale, add Archimesh doors and windows, then animate a walkthrough and a build-sequence reveal. 8 hours of video.
Interior 3D Modelling & Rendering in Blender
Model and light photorealistic interiors in Blender: PBR materials, stills, animation and 360° views. 13.5 hours of video.
Python Scripting for Blender
Learn Python in Blender with real tasks: custom UI panels, bpy, automation, and a CSV data-visualisation project. Made for people with little or no coding experience.
Architectural 3D Modeling & Rendering: FreeCAD & Blender
Model in FreeCAD, then clean up and render in Blender and present in Twinmotion. Real-world scale, no paid CAD.
Model & Rig a Car in Blender for Beginners
Model a car body and wheels, then rig it with drivers and controls for a short drive. A clear first modelling-and-rigging project.
Video Editing in Blender – Beginner to Pro
Edit video in Blender’s Video Sequence Editor: cuts, text, audio, transitions, motion graphics and export. No paid editor needed.
Find the thin walls in Blender before your slicer does
A thin wall is the print fault that looks fine in Blender. The mesh is manifold, the scale is right, the render is clean. Then the slicer preview shows a gap where the rim of the cup should be, or the part prints and the edge snaps off in your hand. The nozzle simply could…
Add Archimesh windows in Blender without fighting the 3D cursor
Archimesh still earns its keep when you are blocking in a house: doors, windows, stairs, railings. The door pass is already on the site. This is the window step from the same Architectural Design & Animation workflow, written as a short studio note rather than a full lecture. You already have a floor plan in…
Add Archimesh doors in Blender without fighting the 3D cursor
Archimesh still earns its keep when you are blocking in a house: doors, windows, stairs, railings. This is the door step from the current Architectural Design & Animation workflow, written as a short studio note rather than a full lecture. You already have a floor plan in Blender and openings in the walls. The job…
