Hello, im fourty years old, it is to late to learn 3d design? in Blender?
I really hope not and don’t think so. I’m 40 and only really started 2 years ago. If you want it, just do it. 😀
At first I read 14 years old, then noticed your picture with a full on beard and mustache and I was like wow dude, kids this days.
Age don't matter man, 40 is totally fine to start learning anything, play the guitar like a rock star, master Blender like a rocks star, don't worry, you can start anytime and have fun.
I'm 37 and only started 6-8 months ago. Never too old to learn something new. Just don't get discouraged, the learning curve can seem steep but it's very rewarding. You can always come to the community for help and advice as well, we're all in your corner!
Hey started to pick up 3d 2-3 years ago with no artistic background, I'm now 42 and I launched my 3d design company in january this year. Already a few clients, but not yet enough to pay for the electricity (which is normal when starting a company, starting takes time unless you get really lucky). Even with limited skills, there are already people willing to pay for what you can do, granted, it takes effort to find them, but there is.
If your question was just about 3D as a hobby, then age is even less relevant.
The key here is to enjoy it to the fullest even if sometimes there are moments of doubt and discouragment (the learning curve is steap like Blaine said).
One thing that helps me keep going is: I have this project I did when I started with blender, this same project I'm revisiting every year by doing it from scratch. Then I compare the results and man it's mindblowing how much you evolve in a few months even if you feel you plateau. I found this a good way to keep going.
Possibly, if anything, being older might help you when learning Blender. Even if it might not seem relevant on the surface I bet you've established many life skills and points of reference that would apply, if not to Blender directly, to the process of learning itself.
I'm 55 - admittedly I started learning 3D in the 90s but it was very (VERY) on-and-off. It's only been relatively recently that I've moved out of my comfort zone (sculpting) and started expanding my knowledge of Blender. I definitely don't believe age is an issue at all - if you apply yourself with patience and confidence then that's the most important thing.
The only thing stopping you learning Blender at any age is you.
As you get older other factors can hinder your progress, such as the availability of time due to family or other life commitments. But none of these will stop you learning Blender.
Set yourself some time to learn Blender around other commitments and stick to it. Obviously the more time you have set, progress will be quicker.
Don't just set time to watch videos, set time for practice. Watching videos will get you so far, but most important is to practice what you see in the videos.
