Blender for Builders: Design & Build Precision DIY Projects

Blender might not be CAD, but with the right workflow, it can become a powerful tool for precision design — even for real-world woodworking projects. In CRAFTSMAN, CG Cookie instructor and professional carpenter Sascha Feider reveals his complete process for planning, modeling, texturing, and presenting a custom built-in from scratch.

You’ll learn how to set up Blender for real-world scale, design according to construction standards, model components exactly as they’ll be built, and extract accurate measurements for the shop. Along the way, you’ll also create realistic materials like wood, melamine, glass, and metal for professional client presentations.

Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast looking to visualize your next project or a 3D artist curious about bringing your designs to life physically, CRAFTSMAN bridges the gap between Blender and the workshop.
