There have been a few times where I’ll sit down and say, “today will finally be the day I learn blender”
Then I open Fusion 360 or OnShape or TonkerCad
The Blender Guru doughnut tutorial is the winning starting tutorial IMHO.
EDIT: The one Ludrol linked to elsewhere in the comments.
I keep text files that list the hotkeys I use for each specific job in Blender.
Some of my hobby work:
sounds like a VIM learning experience
I made karts for STK ;)
though they’re horrible lol
I did this things like 3-5x
In version 2.49!!! booya!
And watched a ton of youtube stuff.
Mostly fun actually, because I didn’t really “need” to know anything, I just browsed around tried stuff.
honestly? that was my whole experience for the time i tried using blender (for over a year) biggest reasons out fo the many why i stopped was i just suck at it, there was little to no improvement for what i did want to do and the expanding knowledge even further required even more expertise in topics that separately needed years of experience as well
I have a 3D printer and use blender for making or adapt models to print. While there is a bit of a learning threshold to overcome at the start, I’ve found blender really good to use.
I’ve been impressed with how powerful it is and the quality of YouTube tutorials. The vids from the 3d Printing Professor helped me to get over that initial hump with blender
I thought this was a subtle joke - the letters under the monitor almost spell “blender” so it seemed like a clever subversion of your expectations.
However, I’ve never used Blender, so my new theory after reading the comments is that it’s just hard.
It has a learning curve but I don’t think it’s that bad once you learn it.
Dark Wall-E?
Has no one caught that this is square hole? This is one of the most beautiful blender models I’ve ever seen.
Lmao I hadn’t even thought of that
Find a good beginner course on Udemy or one of the longer video series on YouTube.

This was my first course. Got it on sale for 15$
You really don’t need to pay a dime to learn Blender. There are so many tutorials out there on just about everything it’s insane.
Yes but the free classes don’t have as much structure or often don’t come with supplemental learning materials like say assets or finished project files. Some classes come with active support from the teacher who will answer your questions if you are stick on a particular section. The comments on a YouTube video aren’t always as helpful.
YouTube is great for learning specific features and techniques, but I think taking one of the bigger classes is a great starting point for a complete beginner who is ready to do more than just the donut tutorial.
The face reflection 🤣 good thing they’re cute 😜
DOWN! NO!
Why would it be a bad thing otherwise?
On Windows 7?
Btw, your face is visible in the reflection bottom left.
I think the crying expression is part of the joke. At least That’s how I interpreted it. Learning Blender makes them cry.
Not my face or image but thanks for looking out for me :P
