What Sonia Taught in the Masterclass

In her engaging masterclass, Sonia guided attendees step by step through essential Blender techniques that form the backbone of any successful 3D art project. Here’s a deeper look at some of the key takeaways:

• Blender Navigation & Workflow: Sonia broke down Blender’s interface, shortcuts, and tools with incredible clarity. At one point, she paused to troubleshoot a common mistake a student had made and explained how to avoid it in the future. Her practical tips, like using snapping and automerge vertex for better precision, were invaluable for anyone new to the software.

• Modeling with Intention: Sonia shared her personal strategies for creating clean, functional models. While demonstrating how to build a chest lid, she talked through the importance of clean edge flow and showed how seemingly small choices - like adding support edges or redirecting loops - can make or break a model's final look.

• Troubleshooting Like a Pro: Throughout the session, Sonia encouraged students not to panic when something goes wrong in Blender. Instead, she walked them through how to check for malformed geometry and identify overlapping vertices. One memorable moment was when she said, “If something breaks, don’t panic - we can fix it together,” offering reassurance to new Blender users.

• Material Setup & Rendering Basics: Sonia also dove into the creative side of Blender, showing how to bring models to life with colours, textures, and lighting. She walked through how to check shading modes, apply subdivisions for smoother surfaces, and troubleshoot rendering issues. Watching her work felt like watching a sculptor bring a blank canvas to life.

💡 What Makes This Workshop Special?

• Learn Advanced Techniques: Dive deeper into advanced modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, and rendering workflows. Sonia will teach you how to create portfolio-worthy pieces that stand out.

• Tailored Feedback: Each class is small and interactive, so you’ll get personalized guidance from Sonia on your work.

• Create Portfolio Pieces: By the end of the workshop, you’ll have polished, professional-level projects to showcase your skills.
