This series „Blender for Production“ focuses on Blender as a full Production Suite for (Indie) 3D- & VFX Productions.
I will explain how to work with the different Modules of Blender and how they are connected.
Also, I will give you an introduction to the specific functionalities, but also the production context and workflows, which can help you to use Blender in your productions.
In this tutorial we will talk about the basic principles of making hard surface models inside of Blender and how modifiers like booleans, solidify, array and mirror can help you with that. You will see the default Blender workflow and get a lot of workflow insights and tricks how to work with object visibilities, collections, and transformations. They are the basics for a procedural modeling approach for your models. Then we will see, how the free built-in Blender Bool Tools add-on can help you with this workflow to make less clicks and have a faster result.
