Nine times out of ten some friendly person has solved the problem and shared the answer with everyone. Pro tip: If you get lost or stuck in a tutorial, check the comment section. And, unfortunately, there’s a lot of that content out there on YouTube. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to follow an instructor who’s going too fast, not explaining what they’re doing, or simply skipping steps. Picking the wrong tutorial series can result in a lot of wasted time. Once again, learning Blender is a serious time investment. It’s one thing to know how to follow along with a step-by-step tutorial, but another thing entirely to know your way around a program. I’d watched several map-related tutorials in the past and always quickly gave up due to the number of tools I just didn’t understand how to use. It’s important to learn the fundamentals before jumping into project-specific tutorials. To create a top-view terrain map with texture, lighting, and animation.To be comfortable navigating the interface using hotkeys.At the end of this period, I wanted to accomplish two things: I decided to set aside two hours a day for thirty days.
Since I’m a newbie and want to keep my motivation up, it was important to make things simple during these first few weeks of learning. They want terrain maps, buildings, animated routes, and even flood simulations. It’s important to pinpoint what you want to create so you don’t waste time going down a rabbit hole of trying to learn tools that you may never use.įor example, I create map animations in Adobe After Effects, and clients have been requesting specific 3D scenes. That’s why I spent the last thirty days tinkering away inside Blender, just to see how much I could learn in several short weeks. However, I’d received so many inquiries about Blender over the past year from clients that it was clearly time to make this a priority. For years, this rumor kept me from diving into the world of 3D, as it always seemed like such a heavy time investment.
