# Blender + Bonsai Tutorials
|
||
|
||
These video tutorials are designed to help beginners learn both [Blender](https://www.blender.org/) and [Bonsai](https://bonsaibim.org/), starting from the basics--all the way to more advanced uses. It's geared toward AEC professionals.
|
||
|
||
With over (122) videos and counting, each averaging around 4.5 minutes, you’ll go from creating a simple cube in Blender all the way through assembling a basic construction drawing set in Bonsai--a pocket neighborhood in Wisconsin.
|
||
|
||
The videos are tightly edited to avoid repetition and filler. You won’t be watching us model the same thing over and over—just the essential steps, clearly explained.
|
||
|
||
The tutorials series also covers integrating, an always evolving, open source set of libraries and templates for [materials](https://hub.openingdesign.com/OpeningDesign/OD_Textures), [entourage](https://hub.openingdesign.com/OpeningDesign/Entourage), [drawing standards](https://hub.openingdesign.com/OpeningDesign/assets) and [modeling](https://hub.openingdesign.com/OpeningDesign/OD_Project_Template/src/branch/main/Open/Models/Bonsai)--so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. *I already went through the pain. :)*
|
||
|
||
**Best of all, of course:** We will contribute 20% of all revenue to the [Bonsai / IfcOpenShell development fund](https://opencollective.com/opensourcebim), to support ongoing growth of the platform.

||

### Want to Contribute?
|
||
|
||
We're looking to build a collaborative, evolving library of Blender + Bonsai workflows — grounded in a real-world project and shared openly with the AEC community.
|
||
|
||
If you're interested in contributing your own tutorials (e.g. 4D, MEP, clash detection, prefab workflows) or helping shape a fair revenue-sharing model, join the conversation here: https://community.osarch.org/discussion/3032/blender-bonsai-tutorial-series-launched-looking-for-contributors
|
||
|
||
Your knowledge can help improve the model, the methods — and in turn, create a valuable feedback loop to support the continued development of Bonsai and openBIM workflows more broadly.
|
||
|
||
----------
|
||
|
||
|
||
The attached video shows the evolution of the model throughout the tutorial series, as well as the final drawings.
