I’ve only scratched Essential Blender’s surface for lack of time and now this. The amount of learning materials about Blender is just too overwhelming. Given the amount of resources, I just can’t see how a newbie can’t manage to become a pro using Blender. The tools are definitely there to come up with anything you can imagine. Architectural, mechanical, organic, you name it.
Once again, I salute all the folks doing all these for free. (They welcome donations, of course.) If you ever thought of modeling mechanical-type models, this issue is one of the best. Keep it as a reference.
I agree, the amount of resources are staggering. However, as a newbie myself, there is a downside to this. It’s hard to know where to focus. At times it can seem like complete overload of information. For me, I just need to learn to focus better and practice, practice, practice. :eek:
Congrats on the interview, BgDM, reads very well and gives some proper perspective on things! Dreamsgate, this is a very informative issue, and I really love the articles. The blends are probably the only thing that are going to allow me to comprehend this after two or three times reading
I agree. I think there is still room for more books that touch on specific features such as a book that deals entirely on modeling, for example, in a very organized fashion. I have yet to get familiar with the new features like the array and the modifier stack; using animation to aid modeling like the phone cord tutorial made by Greybeard, and lots more.
