New to Blender and 3D in general

Hey everyone. How’s it going? Anyways, I’m new, like the title says. I have been playing around with it a little and gotten somewhat familiar. (made a bowl and a vase etc…) Just wondering on what are some good things to start with to get practice and better at.

Any and all help appreciated. :slight_smile:

Here is a rather well put together website for learning…

Oh… and by the way… welcome. Hope you have fun figuring it out :smiley:

PS… you can also join those contest at the bottom of the BlenderArtist main page… they are a good way to learn and help you think on your feet with a timelimit… good practice.

This is a great site. I have learned a huge amount from Kernond. Make sure to check out the forum over there as well.

I started out with the Tufts University course and found it a wonderful first step. Here is the link if you are interested.

Blender 3D Design Course.
