- Blender market is the final asset up my sleeve when I have to convince coworkers and future clients to include Blender in their framework. It’s obvious that such engine needs an asset store, sure, I’m still forever grateful that you guys invested the time and money to make it reality.
When I started learning Blender 12 years ago, I remember feeling frustrated that there wasn't really any beginner 'course'. Like a series of posts that will show you the basics. Instead I had to jump from tutorial to tutorial, and gleam what I could from each. It would be years before I'd make full sense of it.
Since then, several other people have created beginner courses... but I personally find them to a bit overwhelming for beginners. When you're just getting started, it's daunting to see that you need to watch 100 posts.
So I set out to make something shorter. Something that could be finished in a day, and will show you how to make your first scene - while also gradually introducing new areas of Blender as you need them.
And here it is!
