ABSOLUTE Beginner Basics.. Blender For Noobs

[@GavinPetty]

Thank you for starting at the very basics. Its refreshing to click on a tutorial that doesn't treat beginners like they know everything or jump straight into modelling.

Just getting back into Blender after an 18 year hiatus. It sure has changed and I have lost most of what I did know back then. But thanks to you it's all coming back now. Back then you couldn't even undo. you had to constantly save so if you screwed up you could just close out and reopen the last saved good one.

For the people using newer versions of blender the keys to move around with WASD is now shift ‘ if you don’t know where the ‘ key is it’s above the TAB key

[@relaxwithmyhorns3312]

This was probably the most helpful tutorial I've found while trying to make 3D assets for the first time for a game! A lot of other tutorials would skip over how to do the most basic but important parts of modeling, and then simply show you how to do a million different things in Blender with little to no time given to each concept. This one helped me understand what I'll be using most of the time and that's all I need to understand how to get started.

[@theriveracis5172]

Genuinely one of the best guides. So much throws more than necessary, but this actually shows how to use the program
