3D ANIMATION USING BLENDER
You would almost certainly answer in the affirmative if I were to ask if you know what a blender is. You would also think it absurd if I pressed further by asking what it’s used for.
If you think a blender is a kitchen appliance used to mix and emulsify food and other substances, you are absolutely right.
But that’s not the kind of Blender I had in mind.
Blender is an open-source 3D creation tool developed by the Blender Foundation. It allows users to create and edit 3D models, animations, simulations, visual effects, and more. The good thing about it? You can use the powerful built-in animation tools—or even create your own using Python.
Now that you know Blender isn’t just a kitchen appliance, allow me to properly introduce you to the beauty of using Blender to create 3D animations.
If you’ve watched movies like Toy Story, Moana, or Finding Nemo, then you definitely know what 3D animation looks like.
The aim of this article isn’t to recommend movies to you—that’s what Netflix does.
It’s to tell you that you can actually create your own 3D animation.
And who knows—maybe even your own 3D animated movie.
And yes, the job opportunities are countless:
Game developers, architectural visualisers, educational content creators, freelance 3D and VFX artists—these are just a few of the fields you can work in as a 3D animator.
And the pay? Well… it’s of animated proportions!
Now you might wonder: if Blender is free and powerful, why aren’t more people using it?
The answer is simple—they haven’t read this article. And they don’t know how.
Consider yourself lucky. Because I’m about to tell you how.
Using the Blender software should feel as easy as blending food. That’s why I recommend learning 3D animation with AQskill.
All the resources you’ll ever need—videos, ebooks, mentorship, and an inclusive community—are waiting for you.
In the kitchen, you use a blender to break things up.
With AQskill, you’ll learn to use Blender to build things up.
