Hey there. I was thinking of making a series of blender tutorials as I learn to use it [as soon as I’ve figured out each step myself and figured out to teach it in my own way], while prototyping my own manufacturable ideas in 3D, better and better, so that a kid who learns blender from “me” [probably a decent team by the end], could literally end up knowing how to design efficiently in 3D, AND having the entire experience associated with our Intellectual equity development venture.
How did you learn it?
Recommendations for good sources?
I like this post.
Hey, thanks! I learned it through Youtube. We had a course at Uni, where we learned the short cuts and so on. So I actually started with 3Ds Max and Maya and then switched to Blender. You will learn everything one by one, once you know the process of 3D in general : concept>modelling or sculpting > retopology > uv unwrapping > texturing > rendering > compositing. I did it the wrong way. I started with an animation project:D Went right in, which I don't recommend! Just start with something small...lowpoly maybe. Maybe just modeling in general and then the other steps, but that is up to you. At uni we concentrated on one thing per course, which was modelling or rigging or texturing (all Maya courses). I watched for example tutorials from Blender Guru or Agenzas Brothers, but mostly I searched for something specific and once you know the drill you can expand your knowledge and play around with it. I used the particle system for actual hair for the first time for my Katara Character. Before that I have only used it for leaves for a tree. So just search for beginners tutorials and copy projects instead of just jumping right into your own stuff, if you have never modeled before. I used the tutorial series from the Agenzas Brothers (not active anymore, but still online) for my Charlie Lou - Animation. I am still learning so I can't tell you which is the right way to learn and show the progress, but I am looking forward to your upcoming projects:)
Hi, to learn blender I can recommend MrSorbias tutorials on youtube, I also like his sense of humor.^^
