• Hello and welcome to this CG Cookie tutorial series on hard-surface modeling in Blender. Through this series I’ll be giving you a complete introduction to modeling hard-surface objects with subdivision surfaces, allowing you to create anything from vehicles, to weapons, to environment props. For this Blender tutorial I’ve chosen a small, stylized airplane as the subject matter as it provides a great example of hard-surfaces that is fairly simple but also easy to learn. The plane design is based on artwork and modeling sheets created by Tim Von Rueden.
• I’ll be walking you through the complete process of how to model in blender, demonstrating a variety of techniques and tools along the way. First we will set our artwork as a blender background image, then among other things, I’ll be showing you box and edge modeling techniques, how to use various modifiers for non-destructive modeling, and multiple techniques for creating sharp edges with optimal geometry. In this series, even though it's a Blender tutorial for beginners and we dive into the Blender basics, we won't be getting into UV Unwrapping, since we won't be using any cg textures, nor will we touch upon retopology or compositing, it will all be centered at hard surface modeling. Finally, this series is presented in real-time, giving you a complete picture of my modeling process.
• Extra add-ons and themes: During this series I make frequent use of a custom add-on I developed that helps to speed up the workflow for common tasks. You can download the add-on, along with the custom them I use for Blender’s interface below: Jay Tools (now known as Quick Tools)CG Cookie Blender UI Theme CC Music: "H20 Instrumental" by Airtone

• When it comes to lighting, there are three basic components you need to understand: Direction of lighting, the Object’s Surface, and corresponding Shadows. They determine the final look of your subject matter and it’s essential that you portray them as accurately as possible. To practice, we will look at a few fun examples and see if you can recognize where each object is lit from by trying to identify its light source. 
• The most commonly used lighting scenario for you subject matter is a three-point lighting system: the components are a Key light, Fill light (also known as Global light) and Rim light. They each have a different role and we examine them one by one and look at a few examples.
• An interesting property of light is that it travels in every direction and bounces off of surfaces, losing some of its strength in the process. It can even pick up color hues! This may sound very technical, but a few simple examples will help you understand how this works. An inseparable component of light and color is value. You will understand this relationship as we go through the step-by-step process of building values with examples for each type, from neutral base value to bounce lighting and shadows.

• Learn to create stunning classical-style paintings with modern digital techniques. Concept artist Marco Gorlei will guide you through crafting rich, textured images reminiscent of the old masters, using digital painting, 3D, and photobashing. Beyond technique, Marco’s deep reference-gathering workflow will help you bring authenticity to your work, nailing historical details like clothing, architecture, and ships. By the end of the course, you’ll have a portfolio-ready masterpiece, supporting artwork, and a deeper understanding of how to conduct meaningful research for your projects.

• If you're new to 3D and have watched the Blender Basics tutorials,  you might be thinking of what the next step is for you and Blender. Mesh modeling, sometimes called Polygonal Modeling, is the method we use to construct 3D objects of all shapes and sizes. It is the starting point for most things you'll do in 3D. 
• Whether your goal is to create compelling characters for film, creating architectural visualizations or even game environment assets, you will need to starts with modeling. Blender has a very powerful and fast modeling toolset that can be used for creating just about any 3D object you may need. This Blender course will teach you the fundamental skills and tools that are essential to becoming a modeler.
• You will learn: How to create mesh objects with primitive shapes, The difference between Object mode and Edit mode, How to manipulate mesh forms and structure, Methods of mesh selection and selection tools, Many of the fundamental modeling tools essential for success, Adjusting mesh visibility for more efficient workflow, Working within Global and Local Space for greater control, The difference between objects and mesh data, and how to share that data
