HitFilm Express BlenderLearning something new can be scary. Don’t worry, we got you. We’ll take you through Blender’s extensive interface, and show you which tools and features we’ll be using in this course to create a simple model. We’ll also show you how to add and remove viewer windows, to set Blender up just the way you like it!
Don't worry he may be made of flesh but he will teach you how to proper mesh.
Being able to create your own assets will bring you a whole new world of freedom. We show you how to take a simple cube shape, stretch it to your liking, and add the first level of dressing to the material properties using UV Projection!
Project filesYou’ve built the foundations - now have fun decorating the walls! Our 3D cargo container looks pretty good, but it’s still a flat cube. Watch how we use loop cuts and bevels to cut and expand certain parts of the model, to create a realistically textured object.
Project filesThe fun isn’t over yet! After popping the finishing touches on your model, export from Blender and bring it into HitFilm to realistically composite it into your scene. Let Tom teach you how to customize your model with animated textures and plan the map of your shot; rotating and placing the model just right.
*So that you can test out the feature, we’ve made this pro-level technology accessible in Express for free, with a watermark. If you want unlimited use, please purchase the 3D: Model render add-on pack from our store, or consider buying Pro! here
