So I’d tried a few times in the past to get started in Blender, with Blender Guru’s infamous Donut Tutorial. But I was really struggling to follow it/stay focused this time round.
Eventually I decided to have a look at other starter tutorials, and found CG Fast Track’s Blender 3.6 Beginner Tutorial Series. For whatever reason, the longer videos + shorter playlist format really worked for me! Helpfully, the videos are also chaptered so it was easy to go back and replay bits when needed.
I was able to create a fairly neat result, and get a sense of what a workflow in Blender might feel like. My understanding felt a bit shallow, but a deeper understanding of this sort of thing just takes time, I guess.
They have some pretty cool looking courses on the CG Fast Track website, but I wasn’t really ready to commit that much money to learning Blender, and I wanted to try and start making my own projects as soon as possible. To be honest, I’ve found a lot of tutorials don’t fully work for me anyways because I’m on the industry compatible keymap lol.
