Details
My Intro to 3D Storyboarding in Blender course is a 4 week program to learn the fundamentals of storyboarding in Blender. This course will show 2D Storyboard Artists how to utilize 3D to enhance their sequences and work efficiently in Blender. Why take this course? The demand for 3D Storyboard Artists is on the rise. Every freelance opportunity I receive is interested in my Blender skillset. The major studios are seeking it now too. Drawing characters to scale and blocking them in 3D space will help your layout/previz team even more. Shooting coverage in 3D space is also tremendously valuable for the editing process. This course is ideal for someone who: - has a solid grasp of the storyboard principles in any discipline: Live Action, Animation, Advertising - Blender skills range from absolute beginner to intermediate This course is not for someone who is completely new to storyboarding. You need to understand the fundamentals of storyboarding before taking this course. Please note, this is more of a 'How to use Blender for Storyboarding' than it is a 'How to Storyboard' course. It's to level up your technical skills, not your story skills...but you can level your story skills after this course! Classes are every Monday from 7pm PST to 9pm PST starting June 16th, 2025 till July 7th, 2025. There will be a private Discord group to stay in touch each week. You can ask questions and receive general guidance within a group setting. Lectures are recorded! Note: there is no personalized feedback on your personal work in this class. I hope to offer feedback tiers in future classes.
