How To ACTUALLY Learn Blender (The 1% Strategy)

A mindset cleanse is something most tech newbies really need to grow faster.

Thanks Josh

you are waste of time, its crap

What is actually frustrating for beginners is how many of the free tutorials leave something out, and then you have to figure out what they forgot to say or show in order to continue. This usually happens when they assume knowledge a beginner doesn't know. I do training on complex subjects and have rewritten lessons from someone else where this was a common issue. The feedback is always "why didn't the talk about or show that information in the original lesson". This is a common issue when the instructor is too familiar with the topic and can't put himself in the position of a beginner. I'm seeing the same issue in the blackmagic Resolve tutorials and have sent them marked up changes for their tutorial books.

I find a lot of beginner tutorials focus so hard on, what they call Hotkeys, and the person doing the video never listens, to people commenting, such as that Hotkey doesn't work, and the person wants the way it's done properly without the Hotkeys.

I needed this, appreciate it

merci !!

Even you didn't have the best answer...to ACTUALLY learn Blender...just read the manual.

Negative x Negative = Positive😊

I few days ago gave up on Blender despite i know the basics to some extent. After watching this vid its made sense and given hope in that learn the small things, take your time and have a play around etc. Thank you for the words of wisdom

One of these hidden gems for me was literally Booleans in their entirety… I used to hand model everything, every single detail, and it would leave my stuff looking very flat and with almost no design because it took so long to do that I didn’t enjoy it

ill say this. the problems i normaly run in to are something more like finding they have one seting that is ddifrint and i dont know what. so like they will say "go to object , then relations, then Transfer Mesh Data" but i wont see that where they show it in my project so ill end up getting frustrated cuse i Know its one simple thing in the settings but no clue what . and trying to find out what it is is not easy.

Thanks for that, Josh!

i just installed blender on my pc.I want to learn sculpting mainly because of dreams on ps4.I want to design a airplane,but im completely new 3d programs and blender where do i start

thx

I've been trying with blender for three years but still fail at it.

To add to this, it really helps when you are trying to create something yourself. Once you start watching those tutorials, you know what your roadblocks are on your model / scene, so when something useful pops up, it really goes into your head and clicks.

Were can I find videos on cutter cutting cutter

I just walk away... put it on the back burner and work on project "B". I also have a project that I just do "experiments" on. This keeps me learning and as I learn I find answers.

Great video, dude.
Great energy.
