A quick reference guide for commonly used hotkeys in Blender can help you work more efficiently.
Weβll start you off with a brief overview of Blender and introduce you to the world of 3D by demonstrating how to navigate and work with objects.
Things will start to really take off as you learn numerous ways to edit objects, many of them easier than you might expect! Weβll tackle instancing, advanced transforms, basic modeling tools, and much MUCH more!
Lastly, you'll learn the basics of each of the main areas of Blender, from animation to sculpting, as well as how to set yourself up for success going forward.Β
As so many, I followed the hype to the doughnut tutorial and found I was racking up more questions than confidence. A week later and only three videos in, I decided to look elsewhere. There was a stop in another beginner tutorial based on product visualization which was doing a much better job of building my confidence, but I got turned around a few times when I hit the wrong keys on my keyboard.
Enter CGCookie. I find the touch-every-button approach of this tutorial series incredibly satisfying and it allowed me to avoid getting lost in the universe of Blender's capabilities. The tutorial re-wired my brain about Blender, about digital art, about what it takes to be a modern-day artist. I'm truly grateful and highly recommend this course. Yep, a total fanboy.Β
I've done the donut, and a couple other beginner courses prior to the cgcookie course. CGCookie's course is by far the best. It's not monkey see, monkey do. The functions of the tools are explained, and then demonstrated. They even cover a lot of the common pitfalls that can stall out progress on these courses.Β
Overall, an excellent beginner course from Blender.Β
Amazing lessons, extremely helpful to put everything in the right order. There are many tutorials online, but this is the one that you must see first. The instructor is very professional, takes care of all the topics and makes you in a very friendly way to understand the base of this amazing program.
Can't wait to see more tutorials from him and CQCookie overall, very professional, congratulationsΒ
Helped speed me up quite a bit. The instructor is clear, and the material is so well chosen and presented.Β
The course videos serve as a Quick Lookup Reference source.
Thank you for the review Andy! I'm glad it was helpful!
Great overview of the basics. Well structured. And the right amount of detail/information to get started in Blender.Β
It covers how to navigate the program, demonstrates the basic tools to manipulate objects, and touches on the different workflows such as animation, sculpting and grease pencil. The content was well paced and presented, not being under or over informative. I also appreciate when common errors or problems were brought up, with explanations to solving them if we were to run into them.
It not only covers what you can do, but why you might do something a particular way. Amazing, really appreciate the care taken when creating this course!
Thank you for the kind review! Happy Blending!
Excellent tutos ! :)
