YouTuber Courses
Organized by Kaizen

Hosted by 1 expert guide

🔥 Learn a skill that combines tech and creativity!

What do games like Minecraft and Roblox and movies like The LEGO Movie and Into the Spiderverse have in common? 3D!

3D is everywhere around you! Whether it's games or movies, or just simple objects around you. It all begins with 3D designs and models. And Blender 3D is one of the world's best 3D modeling software's out there!

My name is Kaizen (well technically it's Jesse, but I go by Kaizen to my 245.000 followers on YouTube) and I will take you from absolute beginner to confident creator in Blender 3D. You’ll learn how to design, model, animate, and all through creating your very own LEGO Minifigure!

⭐ What You'll Do:

Get hands-on guidance from a professional 3D educator and YouTuber.

  • Master the core foundations of Blender.
  • Build your own character and set the stage to showcase it.
  • Join a crew of ambitious artists building their skills together.

✔️ In this course, you'll learn...

.. how to Model a LEGO Minifig using Blender’s tools

.. how to add details to make it look like yourself!

.. how to texture your models to make them truly unique

.. how to set the stage for your model to make it shine in your renders!

.. and plenty of special tips, shortcuts, and workflows that pros use every day!

📅 Here's the general cohort schedule:

  • On Mondays, we'll do a deep dive on Blender and work on specific skills.
  • On Thursdays, you'll get to work on your own project under Kaizen's supervision.

📌 What you'll need:

  • Ability to join sessions on Gather (gather.town)
  • A laptop or desktop PC/Mac (No Tablets)
  • A working camera and mic
  • Blender installed: https://blender.org (free + open-source) - Here's how to install Blender

📌 Good to have

  • A mouse and keyboard will make working in Blender easier but are not required if you just have a laptop
  • An actual LEGO Minifig of your own, so we can use it as reference!
  • Some great ideas to bring your project to life!

3D is a skill that tests both your creativity and your technological skill! It can be as hard or as easy as you want, and it can be as creative or technical as you want. As you progress you'll not only learn core creative skills like form, proportion, color and light, but also broader ones like developing an eye for what looks 'Nice'!

Even if you don't decide to pursue 3D as a career, this course doesn’t just teach you tools and Blender. It gives you a path—toward becoming a skilled creative, allowing you to create the ideas in your mind. It's the perfect start to finding your direction in the creative industry.

Let’s build something incredible!

Lesson #2 is a wrap!

Lot's of stuff covered in this one and I hope it all made sense. The basics of modeling are the hardest part, really. And once you get the hang it should only get easier, allowing you to create more!
