BEST Blender Beginner Tutorial (2024) - 1. BASICS

► *IMPORTANT!!! READ THIS!!!*
Since the Blender 4.2 update (July 2024), the “ADD-ONS” section (as seen here: 1:17:18 ) has been replaced by “EXTENSIONS”. This means that if you want to install add-ons, you have to now click on the "Extensions" tab, instead of the add-ons tab (in preferences, don't forget to save after).

Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and, formerly, video games.

► THIS TUTORIAL
This tutorial will cover the absolute beginner basics of Blender 3.4.1 It goes over all the features you need to know to get started with using the software.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950x processor (CPU)
DDR5 RAM, 2x16GB = 32GB
4x M.2 SSD

Many cooling fans from 'Be Quiet!'
More 'Be Quiet!' 120mm fans in the case itself.
*no clue what motherboard I have but it was a good one*
Good cable management ofcourse.
Kick ass dual monitors, keyboard and mouse with LED because I'm a complete waste of space.
(mouse = Logitech HeroG502)
Microphone = Blue Spark (with Blue Isicle to convert it to a PC input)
Separate sound system (sound bar) from 'BOSE'
Cable internet connection, 100% of the time. SCREW WIFI!

Excellent tutorials. I started blender just three days ago and I came across this. It is the best so far. Upload the part two. I cant wait to see it. Blender 4.1

[horbino]

An absolute phenomenal tutorial, this honestly made me feel like a 5 year old discovering wacky tools. Really looking forward to part 2 and the animation part

[Tomy_Yon]

I subbed because you call your own blender tutorial the best. That's like calling yourself Napoleon. I'm in! 😊

[thefish_lunatic]

Only 20 minutes in and I can tell you, this is an amazing tutorial. The voice is clear, there's no annoying music or sounds in the background, and it goes at a pace were you can follow along with him without needing to pause. Great tutorial man.

[nakulll]

Just 12 minutes into the video and I must say, very clear instructions. I am a 2D motion designer using After Effects for a couple of years now and today is the first day I am starting to learn 3D. Glad this video came across my feed. Looking forward for the next parts of this! Love from India ❤

[MarcusOttosson]

Don't know how this ended up in my feed, but I'm glad it did, I learned a bunch and am looking forward to your next video. Especially one about character animation, if possible!
