Introduction to Blender: Parametric Design 

So nice to hear!

Thank you, glad the quality was satisfying! We're using Carnac for casting here.

Glad to have you with us, Gustavo!

welcome aboard

Thanks for being here.

We need to understand that Blender IS NOT a design software at its heart. It was developed as an animation tool for creating, texturing, and animating models for TV and film. Things like exporting drawings etc are not default functionality because they're not a part of that workflow. Equally, parametric workflows are not a default. That's where Sverchok is taking up some of the slack. It's aiming to provide parametric workflows with CAD-familiar functionality within Blender. The course offers an introduction to Sverchok and several different workflows but not specifically aiming at on-boarding users from CAD software. That process is somewhat implicit. If your goal is to use the vanilla blender experience for design, that's very doable but really will come from learning mesh modelling techniques. Within Futurly's courses, we'd recommend jumping on one of the Maya sessions and just transferring that knowledge to Blender (Futurly+ membership includes Rhino, Maya, and Blender courses). Tools will have different names but especially with normal mesh modelling workflows, all mesh modellers will behave the same. Hope this answered your comment thoroughly

Unfortunately, it has been a while since Sverchok has been updated. Blender's new Geometry Nodes have been replacing and going beyond Sverchok for a while now. the Blender Core course on our platform - a part of Futurly+ membership - focuses a lot on geometry nodes.

@@futurly Thanks for the reply. I have basic knowledge of Sverchok. Looks like I will have to do GN now.

Hi Kamil, it's never just one software with those kinds of workfllows, you should look into Unity for Real Time Viz, AI (deep learning) video for the image transitions, Houdini for the geometry, and interoperability workflows between the 3. Enjoy the process 💜

Maybe try creative coding (tools like Processing, P5.js, three.js). It’s more on the technical/math side as opposed to being artistic tho

Hi Sandra. The Cybertecture Masterclass is postponed for the time being. Please check with UNI's team for more updates as it is being organized by their team. You can reach out to them by email: contact@uni.xyz

until I click BAKE, there is nothing to see... 😞

As long as it's watertight clean mesh and meets the tolerance of your 3D printer, why not?

Haha it is huge! It's to help people watching on mobile devices be able to follow what I'm doing

XD I’m on mobile
