In this full-process video we'll be modeling, adding materials, lighting, and animating a pair of headphones in Blender 3D. There are tons of tips and tricks in here during all parts of the process including intermediate topology, subsurface workflows, cloth simulation, bump mapping, texturing, procedural textures, product lighting, product presentation, and more.

This video is aimed at people who are not totally new to 3D software but with patience and dedication can be completed by people at the beginner level. If you are interested in product animation, product design, industrial design, etc then this video is for YOU!

Have fun and share your results with me!

    I recently landed my first professional job out of University (where I also studied ID!) by using Blender for modelling and motion graphics - I cant thank you enough for all your tutorials and the skills you have helped me develop - forever grateful 🙏🏻
  • @visualbree
    Your approach to modelling made me start attempting modelling any object I see, you removed the fear in me.
  • @KamySpammy
    Thank you for the amazing tutorials Derek! Just like you I have been learning blender off YouTube tutorials and your style is truly amazing. The little humor here and there along with the places to do our own variations on designs really makes the videos engaging and keeps me working. Keep doing what you are doing, love it!
  • I've been playing around with Blender for around 4 months now and this was exactly the tutorial I was looking for, really happy with the result! Nicely explained use of the cloth simulations and general concepts used for modelling. A really good all-round tutorial from start to finish (modelling, lighting, shading, decals & simulations). Made a few minor tweaks for my own personal touch and ended up with a really convincing super realistic render. Thanks!
  • @PackingLess
    Ive been teaching myself blender over the past few weeks watching all the tutorials I could find. And this is without a doubt the best for modelling that really explains, in a simple and easy to understand way, how to get organic and rounded shapes out. Thank you so much!
  • Wow, finalmente achei alguém que faz tutoriais realmente profissionais, já estou seguindo e tentando fazer todos!
  • @pedr0aka
    It's so pleasing. The setuping and mastering softs amazing.
  • i love how you can explain so many things and at the same time keep a nice and calm voice
  • @embdigitality
    Excellent guide! Many thanks for the thorough and detailed instructions, along with the comprehensive explanations of all the intricacies!
  • Really amazing tutorial! Im finishing my last year of uni for product design and yet to be even shown Blender. These have helped me understand so much, and see the value in Blender and getting out of my Keyshot comfort zone! Thanks!
  • @SUBtrauma
    Been loving your content, brotha! It's been tough going from solidworks back to blender, and your stuff has made the move a lot smoother
  • @Igoreshkin
    I can't even describe, how freaking hard I love Your content. I love Your style, Your voice, the flow of Your tutorials, humor. I'm adicted to it XD
  • @AudreyGoncalves-
    God bless you for every waking second you've spent to create this for us Derek. For real. This kinda tutorial is not only helpful but this can be one masterclass if we stop over and over again to understand the tools. Thanks you so much !

  • @deividcm2
    Really easy to follow along, thanks for sharing, Derek
  • step-by-step instructions to if your bevel doesn't show: Start by selecting the mesh that you want to bevel. Press "Tab" to go into Edit mode. Press "A" to select all vertices in the mesh. In the "Mesh" menu at the top of the screen, select "Merge by Distance". This will eliminate any duplicate vertices in your mesh. If that doesn't solve the problem, it might be an issue with the normals. To fix this, still in Edit mode, select the mesh and go to "Mesh" > "Normals" > "Recalculate Outside". This should ensure that all the faces are facing in the correct direction. After following these steps, try using the bevel tool again and see if it works.
