3. Apply your knowledge
4. Join to community challenges
5. Invest(time && money)

just made my donut and im invested in learning more about blender + 3d art

[maineprimal]

Here's a Good Roadmap for Beginners:
Navigating the Interface (specifically Controls, what things do, Keyboard Shortcuts and Moving things)
Modeling (Simple things like a house or a donut, etcTutorials)
Lighting and Materials (you will learn this from tutorial of making things as well)
Texturing (specially the nodes and what they do, also uv unwrapping)
Sculpting (learn the tools and maybe follow a few tutorials on rocks, trees and stuff)
Retopology (important if you prefer sculpting over box modeling)
Rigging (most important once if you like making characters and things move)
Animation (animation is easy if you master interface well)

Grab as many videos of these things and do them by order (by the end you should be a decent Blender Creator) from then you can branch off and pursue your goals with Blender however you want

Animation
3d Modeler
Character Creation
Scene Artist
and anything else you are interested in


Tip:If you think this might be a fun career option install the Maya controls mod to blender (Maya is industry standard and will make transitioning to Maya much easier if you want to work in the industry in the future)

Appreciate the epic shoutout 😂.
And this consume, apply and invest categorisation was just perfect. Exactly how you should approach the Blender journey this new years!

My resolution is to take Blender seriously for the first time in 20 years and turn it from a hobby into a career.

[alexparient]

@KaizenTutorials thank you for the tips. I had actually gotten a degree in animation 5 years ago and had basically shelved everything after 2 years of job hunting on top of COVID. Recently I’ve strived myself to go at it again when I just came across your video. I really want to have another go at this and you’ve inspired me, so thank you.

I felt identified by how overwhelming learning a 3D software can be… There are so many areas to master just to render a single product. Personally I started learning more than 10 years ago but abandoned it (because it never was a priority for me at least professionally wise) Recently I took it again and I’am surprised by 2 things: how my mind seems to be understanding it better than ever, and how the software has evolved a lot for better. Funny how things sometimes just need time..

[kdktdydlflydtisirupwkgncg]

Thank you so much for making this!

I am noticing a trend in Blender content towards realism and cinematic things. My goal with Blender is to create stylized characters and environments to be used in making comics/visual communication, with a focus primarily on prehistoric life.

I'm REALLY interested in toon shaders. Ever since I played games like Wind Waker and Okami as a kid, I've wanted to create 3D that looks 2D. I've found and followed a few channels by searching for toon/anime tutorials, but if you or anyone else has any recommendations, I eagerly await them!

[morcatna]

Just started my journey, I’m very excited

[professionalidiot]

Damn, , i start downloading blender couple days ago (its my second time using blender and need a learn lot of things), , and today i open my youtube and this video came out perfectly, , thanks man for your hardwork

[Algomaus.Industries]

I wonder how many people get stuck in Step 1 though and spend endless hours consuming more and more and more YouTube content about Blender, without even once actually applying that consumed content to projects of their own.

[midnightshadows]

My new revolution to learn 3D Blender is to get money. I know It's not an easy task, but "NEVER GIVE UP"

[joseand]

This video just game me the motivation to continue learning to become a game dev

[VitalCGofficial]

3 yrs ago i started to learn blender i love to animate now after 3 yrs i am attacted again thanks buddy you helped me a lot❤

[bigsky]

My problem is staying focused on one task. Say I start out wanting to make a car chase, which leads to scene building, which leads to lighting, and so on. Why can't I be happy just learning the animation without needing to create the whole city around it?
This may be more of a question for a therapist, lol. I do value your insight, thank you for the vids!

I wanted to learn blender like a year ago or so and back then i just learned few things like the very basic, how to move the cube, scale, rotate and few other basic things. I learned for 4-5 days and at the time everything seemed complicated, so i quit but mostly because i didn’t have enough time in my hand because of other works. Recently i have been interested in learning blender again so i started with the basic again but this time it seemed so much more easier because of how i have gotten a little familiar with the tools the last time i wanted to learn and it made me confident that i will be able to learn 3d no matter how many YouTubers have said its not an easy process. So hoping for the best let’s see how far i go. Also watching content of prior to something you wanna learn helps you immensely. Trust me when i say that, because that’s how i have taught myself to learn after effects. I didn’t a have good pc to run after effects so i would just constantly watch transitions tutorials or some kind of effect tutorials for straight 6 months and when i got a good pc i installed the software and i was already familiar with almost everything about after effects. So constantly watching contents of something you wanna learn before even actually starting to learn helps a lot.

[alex_mendo]

I plan on making projects like edm visuals and motion graphics while also improving my 3d concept art skills. I’m very excited now that I have more time this year 😤

Wow didn't know there was a tutorial on how to learn to learn blender!, this community is so cool!

[mohannadbadr]

since December 2019 I have been saying I will start learn blender tomorrow and now it's February 2024 and I finally sat my a$$ down and start learning, don't make the frustration of the first time open blender gets to you, because I let it gets to me and I didn't open blender again for over 4 years.

@ 7:32 you state "Between the information youre trying to absorb and the application of this information repetition is key here..." i have dabbled with cad programs and found alot pretty simple. This week i began blender although ive had it for years never got into it; intimidated. for the 1st 3 days, i did the first 6 lessons of BlenderGuru's donut build 4 times. the past 2 days i did 6-10, and today i will try to do it all again in one shot and maybe even finish the entire tutorial. Each time I redid a video, i would retain just a smidgen more of information, though i would admit i have been over consuming.

i also just realized this morning the transcripting option while viewing videos and i find this is going to make this go so much smoother now that i can reference and write key moments in note pads and such for my own shortcut information to post on sticky notes and other things, or just having a compendium at my side of useful information
