Sungwoo Hong
Hello! My name is Sungwoo Hong, and I’m a 3D graphic artist. I have been working as a graphic designer for 13 years, building a foundation primarily in graphic design, editorial design, and 2D illustration. Currently, I work as a 3D graphic designer.
I run a one-person studio, which mainly creates short video content that helps explain to consumers the features and technical aspects of products in ways that are intuitive and easy to understand. Drawing from my industry experience using Blender, I hope to share various approaches, ranging from the fundamentals to advanced applications of physics simulators.

Class Details
You'll Learn
Step 01. Familiarizing Yourself with Blender
-
Fundamentals of Creating ShapesLet’s start with the basics. I’m here to make Blender accessible even to beginners. We’ll delve into each element of 3D graphics, starting with the most basic modeling. -
Modeling with ModifiersDiscover how to effectively create and refine shapes, even those with complex forms, using Blender's powerful modifier features. -
The Fundamentals of Shading, Rendering, and AnimationTexture and color are as crucial as form, and to bring them to completion, a fundamental understanding of light and camera is essential. In this section, you will learn the groundwork for those fundamentals and familiarize yourself with essential elements for making objects move.
Step 02. Intro to Blender Physics Simulators
-
Understanding the Principles of Each Physics SimulatorLearn how to make your completed shots more polished and vibrant, and explore the compositing techniques you can use to make all shots appear as one cohesive video. -
Controlling Using Force Fields and GravityExplore how to intricately control physics simulators using external factors such as gravity, wind, and other elements. -
Effectively Portraying Materials Through LightingWhile lighting is important for all materials and forms, subjects like liquids can have vastly different results based on how lighting is arranged. Dive into the lighting techniques that will allow you to effectively showcase the movements, forms, and materials you create.
Step 03. Applications of Blender Physics Simulators
-
Applications of the Particle SimulationThere are a range of uses for particle simulation, including creating small stitches on fabric, lush grass fields full of weeds, and much more. Explore various techniques by incorporating simulators for small particles. -
Actively Utilizing WeightTo achieve more intricate and delicate expressions, it is necessary to apply varied values to a single object. Learn how to assign diverse values using different weights within a single object. -
Exporting and Importing Data for Applied ProjectsTo actively utilize physics simulators and integrate them with one another, it is essential to organize your data appropriately in each step. Discover how to leverage data effectively in this process.

Interview with
3D Graphic Artist Sungwoo Hong
Question.01
What are your strengths when it comes to using Blender?
My strength is that I use physics simulators extensively in my work. Physics simulators allow for a more effective representation of forms or physical effects that cannot be created with basic modeling or key animation alone. In other words, they can be used to create highly unrealistic scenes, while incorporating life-like materials and movements, which helps expand the limits of expression.
Question.02
How will this class help those students who are struggling to become proficient in physics simulators?
Many non-Korean tutorials tend to focus solely on the functionalities of physics simulators, which makes it difficult for users to apply them in practical settings. In my class, however, a significant amount of time is dedicated to explaining individual features in detail. Even when creating examples, I give a thorough guideline as to “why” and “how” certain things are done the way they are, so that students can understand the working principles before putting them into practice.
Question.03
What can students expect to gain from this class?
Students who take this class will learn everything from the most basic knowledge required to use Blender to the fundamental principles of physics simulators, as well as how to integrate different physics simulators with one another. They will be able to utilize physics simulators more freely when creating their own artworks and even develop the skills necessary for more advanced and intricate projects.
