Blender Essentials for Beginners: Snapping and Alignment Basics - Course

https://www.artstation.com/a/54930836

A 19-lesson course on Blender snapping - the complete system behind grid, vertex, edge, face, and volume snapping, the 3D Cursor, Pose Mode snapping, and UV/UDIM alignment.
Course available on [platform link - add once live].
Snapping is one of the most complained-about features in Blender among beginners - not because it's broken, but because the logic behind it is never explained. The three-part system (Snap Base, Snap Target, Effect) is what controls everything, and once that's clear, snapping becomes the fastest precision tool in Blender.
This course was built to explain that system properly, then go deep: every snap target type, 3D Cursor workflows, Pose Mode snapping for character placement, UV snapping across UDIM tiles, and a full troubleshooting section. 19 lessons built on real modular assets (free practice pack included), not the default cube.
Topics: Grid vs Increment - Snap Base (Center/Closest/Median/Active) - Snap Target - Effect - Vertex/Edge/Face/Volume/Edge Center/Face Center snapping - Align Rotation to Normal - Face Project - Pivot Point interaction - Exclude Non-Selectable Targets - Edit Mode snapping - 3D Cursor - Shift+S snap menu - Pose Mode snapping - armature collection fix - UV snapping - UDIM tiles - troubleshooting
