And if you want to continue beyond the free trial, the monthly price is not exorbitantly high, especially if you pay for an annual plan (and if you’re lucky, they will have a special offer to get the price down further). A month goes by quickly, so try to make a dedicated effort to soak up as much knowledge as you can during this period. To get the best value out of the recommendations on our list, we recommend you enroll in Skillshare’s 30-day free trial once you’re ready to start learning. Skillshare has the very best selection of online Blender classes on the market.

Skillshare’s Blender courses can be taken for free (if completed within their free 30-day trial, which should be no problem for all of the courses on this list).

There are online Blender classes available on other online learning platforms, such as Udemy, but today we’ll be focusing on Skillshare for two simple reasons: All of the online courses on this list are available on Skillshare. There’s something for everyone – whether you are only now getting started or already sharpening your existing Blender skills. I wish I had an example for Danny, but I can’t find one unfortunately.Today, we will be reviewing our selection of the best free online 3D Blender courses.

This is like my secret weapon haha, I do this multiple times whenever I’m working on a project… it’s so much easier to think about good face shapes in the 2D plane vs 3D imo. On the modeling side, I super recommend exporting a screen grab or a render from blender and take it into photoshop or gimp or whatever and painting over it, either with liquidify or just straight drawing. Just seeing how they function helps you understand how the face works and how the rig should move. I also would super recommend looking up what other people have done for face rigs, both stuff you can get for blender (the Jane rig is super good, just got it recently and I’m currently trying to understand it) and also watching what pros do for rigs in maya, just on youtube or something.

Prepare the face for rigging? So on the rigging side, the new rigify face rig really helps a lot, since it’s so easy to build the rig and see if it works, adjust the metarig, and then rebuild it.
