What is by far the hardest part in learning Blender and becoming an artist? I suppose finding the right guys at the sheer internet wilderness, from whom you can learn something. Like this fine professor Derek Elliot, or should I say pedagogue. You are bookmarked at my top ten forever. Thank you very much for this terrific presentation, as well the guys at Blender Daily, who send me the link. The second part, especially the lighting is a masterpiece at its own.
Derek, this lesson is perfect for anyone who's already experienced in 3D and is trying to migrate to Blender. Got me from almost zero Blender knowledge to producing a professional level image in just a few hours...This new Blender is nothing short of amazing. It's unbelievable it's free. (Migrating from MODO here, mostly working with Industrial Design and product visualization).
Finally, someone who doesn't blaze through quietly at 30x speed with lightning fast keystrokes. Context is important and you've definitely solidified the process of explaining what AND WHY you do what you do! It's definitely a process that you can pick up and learn from. Top tier content!
Little tip when adding a camera : blender adds the camera looking in the direction where you are looking in the viewport (kinda like the "image to plane" part). So if you don't wanna struggle setting up the camera by changing all the location and rotation values, just go in front view, add the camera, then just bring it back and up to get in front of your subject. Hope this helps ! Thank you Derrek for all your ressources
Fantastic Beginner tutorials ever found on youtube. Thanks for sharing these awsome tutorialas. Waiting to see more tutorials from you. Thank you Derek
I started with your video, and a year later am back again! , not one the best, but the best youtube tutorial! the video is not only for beginners it is also this is for experts. Keep up the good work!
I picked up so much from your tutorial! I'm actually coming from Skillshare classes (guess I'm doing things backward, huh?). Thanks so much, now I'm going to dive into all your other stuff.
honestly one of the best tutorials. I loved it. I am trying to figure out how to do a champagne top now. The cage is throwing me for a loop. I did think about just tracing the outline of it with the foil on top which would follow your example.
It is so amazing that you would share the complete course for free... I'm definitely going to follow it directly from your website. Again thank you so so much for this!
For courses like this i would gladly pay for it just to support the hard work you are putting into it.. This is a premium tutorial with one heck of a Teacher 😊

Hi. My method to make label - is using Shrinkwrap modifier: 1) select some polygon loops at the body of the bottle (which will be the body of label) 2) Push Shift+D to duplicate 3) Push P to make them a separate object 4) Select one vertical edge loop of label and make one vertical seam through all the height of label with U--->MARK SEAM to cut the label in the backside of backside of label 5) Unwrap label (Select Object in Edit Mode-->A---->U-->Unwrap) 6) Add Shrinkwrap modifier to Label object and Select our bottle as the Target in checkbox of Shrinkwrap modifier. Voila! Label snaps to our bottle and corresponds it's geometry (because of duplicating geometry of bottle). Play with the settings of Shrinkwrap modifer (Snap mode and Offset) to correct the snapping of our label. Now you only need to add a texture to our label. Greetings from Belarus!
I just started using blender 2.7 -- 2.92 - 2.93 last June of 2021, but I was really surprised my skills are now 45-50%, I you'll say, I am a FAST learner, and by watching what u do most on Blender, I am really catching up with your Tutorial and it really helps a lot for me to get client here in Phils. Hope you can produce more on Packaging Tutorial by telling your viewers the shortcut keys
I spent 2 hours watching your clip. and spent up to 5 hours doing the above tutorial again. Thank you very much for the tips on using mesh and UV Map.🥰🥰
Derek, the seem you're fighting around 21:00 seems to exist in many actual bottles. I think the glass below that point there the body is vertical shrinks a little more during cooling down resulting in this artefact. It seems to be particularly visible in green bottles including the non-Derrk-branded one (sorry!) I'm sipping right now. That said, the Derrk brand is selling the ideal bottle of wine so of course there is no place for such imperfections of the real world :)
Previous experience with Solidworks and NX, first time using Blender. Even filling in the basics blanks myself, this tutorial was effortless to follow. Thank You!
Great course, so professional. Thank you for making it free and by the way you do have teacher skills, which is very hard to get and even harder to find in the Blender world, in my experience. I had the closest thing to having fun in the program ever since I started trying to learn it again. You explain the steps clearly, which is really important for Blender as a lot of things can go wrong for newbies and it's nice if someone says out loud what they're doing. The whole thing except for final rendering and video compositing took me 10 and a half hours in the span of 4 days I think. It was so nice to learn a bit about animation and make a cool camera shot. I think part of what made this course so great was I could see a practical outcome of the work; another was that it had a designer approach to the matter, and the objects looked sleek and professional. Great idea to have another designer produce a wine label specifically for the project. The practical side of this tutorial was so apparent for me I was immediately able to import an old wine label for a client and visualize it (although I kind of failed at parenting the new label for an animation) and I could visualize a business card for a client and eventually for the printing service. All these skills I learned for a few days. So cool.
@@DerekElliott thank you! I'm still utilising the skills I learned here, although shrinkwrap proved to be be rather difficult for me in terms of labels. You have great tutorials tho, thank you again!
So glad you did the website with teachable love watching your content but never followed trough a tutorial, enrolling right now on the website and trying the course right away! congratulations! I always watch to learn and get some laughs but this time I will follow trough!
I was having some difficulty having the label fit nicely with this so I added a shrink wrap modifier to the label, 0.01m offset and snap mode to outside surface. Worked really well with this.
this tutorial is very detailed, so I can follow the steps easily, although it took me a long time to understand as a person who has just learned 3D but this is easy to understand, thanks Derek
Thank you. I have made a couple of wine bottles in blender recently and I photograph bottles frequently. This is great - I will follow along one day to pick up all the tips and tricks and make my next bottle even better. - I would love to see your take on a screw cap.
Thanks a lot DEREK! I has always struggled with applying labels but this method has a relatively clean workflow. However i have noticed one issue with this way of applying labels that the label appears on the both sides of the image-plane which creates weird reflections at the edges of the glass bottle. Thanks a lot nonetheless ❤
Oh, mate! Your website is up. That's so sweet. Man, you're awesome. Also, 2 hrs or less or more. I enjoy and learn from journey vids, so I got no complaints. 🤤
My goodness i thought this day will never come... I have been waiting for this since i saw a sneak peak of it, never clicked on a RUclips notification that fast
i think you need 2 or 3 minutes to model the wine bottle but you took 55 minutes. great man, you give very good effort on this. thank you.....btw alcohol is prohibited in our religion.
Haha love the Andrew Price reference... Just started the video after finishing a wine bottle of my own (in Blender, although drinking a bottle of wine whilst modeling a bottle of wine seems like a good idea)... Looking forward to learning from you and seeing how I can make my render suck a little less. Just checked out your website for the first time, looks awesome! Cheers, Derrk..

The best teacher I have seen so far on blender, I barely forgot any step from start to finish.... thanks so much Derek
I'm just as happy as a little child. Amazing stuff!! Thank you.
Finally, someone who takes care of the scale! I know it's not the most important thing, but why not?
I don't always take care of scale but in this case I felt like it was applicable

Thankyou Derek. I am massivley struggling with lockdown and life stuff. Tutorials like these occupy and distract my mind.
happy to know this can be a good break from it -- we're in this together!
