Question about blender update

Hello! I am excited to follow along with this course but I guess my computer isn’t able to download the newest version of blender to follow along as recommended.. if I use the older version will I have issues following along or a lot of trouble? Anybody tried using the older versions for this yet? ..

    Well this is new, usually it's the other way around. I guess there will be discrepancies yes, but same as when people try to use new Blender in old courses, it's just UI elements and different names, core functionalities have always been the same. Any issue you have you can post the question, we'll help you out identifying where a feature is in the Blender you are using.

    Agree with Omar. When it comes to the modelling course the biggest difference will probably be the shade smooth function. In older versions you'll have to shade smooth, then go to the data properties under normals and make sure auto smooth is enabled.
    Other than that I can't think of much difference in terms of modelling. The tools used in the course are still the same, maybe a slight name change in the menus here and there. Lighting and materials  will have more differences. For that you can always go back to the older courses too.
