Learning Blender

How did you learn Blender? (Courses, self taught w/YouTube, etc)

From go_nacho

I learned Blender incrementally, with small steps, gradually leading me to more complicated steps. I’m still in this process today.

When I first started learning 3D, I started with MagicaVoxel, but I pretty quickly discovered that this wasn’t for me. I wanted something way more powerful. So I tried Cinema4D. That was better, but I decided to switch to Blender after about 3 weeks.

YouTube tutorials have a lot of variety in quality and level of experience required, but they felt disorganized and hard to have a continuous progression path. So I enrolled in Polygon Runway’s course. This is what leveled me up the fastest.

Do you have any tutorials/channels you’d recommend for learning Blender?

From deanmather02, itsmojoodi

If you’re just starting out, head over to Grant Abbitt’s YouTube channel. In there you’ll find some beginner oriented stuff.

If you’re ok spending some money, have a look at Polygon Runway’s courses.

For a bit more advanced, look at Josh Gambrell’s hard surface tutorials on YouTube. Just know that he likes to use two paid add-ons (Boxcutter and Hardops).

Have you ever thought about posting Blender tutorials?

From chaves_spotter

I have a few on my YouTube channel, and right now contemplating making a much more structured set of beginner learning videos.

How did you learn Blender? How much time did you devote to learning?

From dimka_koval, doggodimension, ans_7789

I started with some random YouTube tutorials, some Skillshare videos, and then a Polygon Runway course. I devoted a lot of time to learning blender. I gave my full effort. A few hours a day. More on weekends.

What is your process of learning Blender and any tutorials you follow specifically?
