Blender fundamentals through one project
Paul Hatton’s tutorial series guides beginner and intermediate users through building a Lego-style Iron Man figure in Blender. Across eight parts, the project covers interface navigation, modelling tools, scene organisation, modifiers, Bezier curves, bevels, finishing and material creation.
Eight-part workflow
The first instalment introduces the interface and navigation. Subsequent parts cover object creation, scene organisation, object editing, advanced modelling with modifiers and curves, and finishing touches.
The eighth instalment moves into materials and lighting. Test modifier order, scale and material settings on a copy of the scene before applying the workflow to production assets.
