Super excited to announce my new Blender & Unreal Engine course for beginners! Learn how to create your own beautiful worlds using Unreal Engine. Fluffy trees, flowing grass and sweeping landscapes. Only $49. Forever.

Opening blender for the first time feels like sitting on the pilot's seat.

So inspiring, I'm almost done with my doughnut.

It's unbelievable that blender is absolutely free and it doesn't take even a second to open it. (Compared to programs like Photoshop or Krita)

I just wanted to take this moment to appreciate all the people involved in making Blender the way it is now. Without this application, 3D modeling, animation and everything else it does would not have been available to the masses. The amount of tutorials and the community makes it possible to learn every facet of whatever you're interested in. So thanks to the developers, tutors, artists and the community!

Absolutely DO NOT start learning Blender just because you want to make money. You're going to get burned out so quickly because you're not as good as you want to be. Remember to focus on learning it as a hobby so you don't burn out before you even get somewhere.

I'm a war veteran, back to be an electrician, and now out of a job due to physical contraints, hopped into blender until I can get my results for disability. It's been 8 months and with 0 background in art - blender is awesome. I picked one thing to do when I started (make character models for vrchat), went from there and learned in about a week and a half.But, once I became comfortable, I shifted to a different focus. And been doing so for 7 months! I'm no a way a pro, but being able to challenge myself over and over and keep improving on the craft, is definitely a plus. I highly recommend anyone to give it a go!

I'm 100% sure gonna learn blender,just imagine you can create your own imagination fantasy world become true

i literally just thought of getting into the 3D world and youtube recommend this !

Steps to learn Blender

I just started really actually using blender really recently, the main reason is because I wanted to make my own creatures to 3D print. From where I am I really like making these because I was just finding other people's models to print, now I am making my own creatures. I mainly 3D print creatures for things like D&D with friends.

"it's a good idea to take notes"

I started with Blender over Christmas break (Roughly 6 months ago) without any 3D modeling experience. I have since been able to land major clients in the field I do product rendering for, and I can pay my bills with Blender. It really doesn't take long to start making things you never thought you could. If you're considering learning Blender, you absolutely CAN do it; stay curious, and ready to learn.

A tip for newbies(I say that like I have legitimate experience, but I don't yet) is to find models of characters or props you like(from games or something), import them to Blender, and just take a couple days to fool around with them and figure out how to pose and move things around. Looking closer at those models will also help you learn some tricks the artists may have used to make said models. It's like learning programming logic before learning the proper syntax. It really helps a lot when you go into modelling/sculpting/rigging/animating, etc.
