I’m sure you all must have heard this one before, but at the risk of being intially considered a moron, here goes:
I am looking “all over the place” for the Beginners Intro to this thing. I have read all the advice about “search the knowledge base before asking a question”, and I have searched until I’m sick of it! All I find in my searches are tutorials about how to stand upside down and juggle, but nothing that tells me what to do first when I start the program.
I had, actually started to learn Blender about a month ago, and I was making some slow progress, but that was 2.27. I just downloaded and installed 2.28 and what do I find? Whahhk! - a cube in the middle of the workspace that I that I cannot delete!
Now I guess I have to start all over again, but I can’t find anything about Blender 2.28 - Just a lot of stuff two and three and four years old.
Please, my new friends, where, oh where do I learn to begin?
I found that even older resources are useful now that I started learning Blender. I got The Blender Book, which although is two or so years old, provides a great introduction to blender. I’ve been using it as a reference, playing around in blender, refering back to it, and reading different chapters. I also found it good to just read some internet tutorials, and slowly learn all of the hotkeys.
