Blender 101 - Blender 201: Introduction to Materials and Lighting

may

In this course we talk about using Blender’s Cycles render engine to create materials for our objects, light our scenes, and create stunning renders. We first look at Blender’s camera and render settings. We then go over the different kinds of lights that Blender has to offer. And we use the Node Editor to create and modify the materials for our scene. The interaction of materials and lighting is an important part of any scene. This course provides the fundamental concepts and techniques for achieving great renders in Blender.
