Let's Learn Blender! #1: Getting Started for Beginners!

I really feel like i'm attending a class, the way you convey the materials are very comprehensible, finding this channel is like a blessing.

[@samdavepollard]

Colin. Is. Back. with an intro that doesn't blow your ears off :-) nice if you don't already know this guy, he's a beast when it comes to the teachering thing

[@nfaledits7117]

He definitely makes the best tutorials on KZbin

[@SundeepKP]

What a coincidence, I downloaded blender yesterday night and today morning comes a tutorial for me. Truly Amazing...

[@RamKumarReddyPQC]

Dear Colin, you are a real teacher. Your way of teaching things is very student friendly. I have watched all beginner videos and practiced along with you. Now I am very confident and comfortable with Blender software. The credit goes to you. I can understand how much hard work involves in making tutorials. I am apreciating your sincere effort whole heartedly. Thank you so much teacher.

[@daviswooton]

I think this is a better tutorial for me than some of the others. Really explains the workspace and how to use the base tools. Will be going over this a couple times to get well grounded.

[@Yoni123]

Any problems with Blender 4?

[@divyabhagtani1515]

Wow !! You are Coming Back to Blender ! I watched your Blender 2.8 series and that's how I got started in Blender. You are a really good teacher. Thank You. 😀

EXCELLENT TEACHER. Lots of great videos out there on Blender, but your ability to clearly tech is TOP CLASS. THANK YOU And please keep up the great work.

[@dominicsibthorp6502]

These videos are a godsend. I used to use Blender a few years ago (2.7-ish). But as with any software if I don't use it for a long time I forget even the basics. Your tuts on 2.7 were great. In no time everything came flooding back. I tried 2.9 and wow, everything changed, but again, here you are with these videos!

[@BornCG]

Thanks! 😊 Any video requests? Summer is production season! 😎

[@dominicsibthorp6502]

@@BornCG glad you asked actually. Something I have been trying to do (as a mod for a game) is working on an outfit. The outfit has partially transparent areas, kinda like the way a shirt isn't fully opaque. The game will handle all that via its textures etc, but whilst I am still at the modelling stage it would be nice to get a texture with a partial alpha to work in blender. So far all I have been able to do is either fully opaque or fully transparent, never somewhere in between when using a, for example, a png with an alpha channel. By the same token, can blender use .dds files?

[@fnanfne]

I never knew I needed blender (actually thought it was very expensive) but now I do, thanks!

Hey! Thanks for keeping up with Blender as it updates! This really helps with keeping up to date on everything. I was wondering if you'd be interested in doing an UPBGE series? There's a lot of differences between the normal blender game engine that was cut and the current UPBGE, and I haven't seen a really good tutorial series for it anywhere.

[@BornCG]

Thanks for your comment! I'm not planning an UPBGE tutorial series at the moment, sorry. I will look into it, but I've really fallen for the Godot game engine over the past couple of years.

when i tap "r" i get the normal rotate gizmo, not the one shown at 11:21. i opened a new blend file and am following along but am stuck at getting the black gizmos that follow your cursor vs the static x,y,z colored manipulators that you ahve to click and drag. also, sometimes hotkeys dont even work. i press r to go into the rotate tool and the gizmo stays at scale.

[@BornCG]

When you first started blender for the first time only, you were given the option to select from different keyboard shortcut configurations. It sounds like you may have accidentally selected an alternative keyboard shortcut configuration, or.. do you have a non English keyboard or OS language?

[@ButHuong]

hi teacher, I'm newbie in learning Blender. Can you tell me about the difference between perspective and orthographic? Thank you so much!

[@BornCG]

Perspective = how we normally see in the real world. objects appear smaller as they get further away. Orthographic = 'flat 3D' where objects appear the same size even when further away -- this is how some 3D games (like: Sim City and I imagine many top-down strategy games) are visualized.

[@flashplays6489]

I'm learning python great headstart from you

[@flashplays6489]

Not this video but ur other ones

[@aqualust5016]

As a Maya user here's what I'm not understanding. In Maya the "move" transformation is W which allows you to slide the object along the 3 axes in world orientation or in object orientation using a gizmo; you can also grab the center of the gizmo to move based on perspective (not worth it imo). In Blender when you hit G you can only translate based on perspective, in order for me to use the gizmo I have to find it in the toolbox editor on the left side. This slows me down so much lol. Is there any other way to do this that I might not understand yet? I love the way Maya does it because it's FAST. I'm hoping Blender allows the same without having to pop into ortho each time or this is going to be a painful journey (or full of rebinding keys).

[@BornCG]

At 12:51 in this video I talk about & demonstrate the Transform Modifier Keys. If you type G, R, or S from any perspective view, especially G and R move/rotate from the view perspective, but then you can add more keys after any of the 3. eg: G then Z constrains moving to the Z axis (up/down), and even more: G then Z then 5 then Enter will move the cube up 5 meters on the Z axis. The same system works for all 3 transforms: G / R / S. eg: S then X then 2 then Enter will make the object twice as wide. You can also press G and then press Z Z (z twice) to move on the local Z axis (obviously similar for X Y and Z, and G/R/S). As you can probably tell, Blender is very keyboard shortcut heavy for proficient users. I hardly use this particular one as much as I should, but pressing Shift + Space (with your mouse cursor in the 3D View Editor) brings up a quick menu of all the tools on the toolbar at your mouse cursor. At the top-middle of the 3D View Editor you can also change the orientation of the gizmo between Global/Local/etc.

[@SundeepKP]

please post the next video fast. i am very much interested in learning blender

[@OlavSchneider]

So why diden't they make a typ in box for the location of the 3D cursor? Hope some day they'll get over this 3D curser.

If you’re a beginner, it’ll look pretty much exactly the same. 🙂 There’s one video on the knife tool, where the keyboard shortcuts have changed.. but in general blender and the ui are the same.

Well, I started watching the 2.8 playlist, but i was too busy with my own things, so I dropped it. in the 2.9 playlist will you go through it all over again, or should I finish seeing the other playlist?

[@BornCG]

I'm going to cover Blender in a more structured, 'small-chunking' way, with shorter more digestible videos on what you need to know to get going in Blender. My Blender 2.8 series was ambitious - where I made longer videos and tried to cram as much as I could into longer videos. Ultimately most people don't watch videos of that duration all the way through, so shorter videos makes more sense to me in hindsight.

[@davideferrari0599]

@@BornCG ok thanks. in any case, congratulations. You are doing a really great job.

I've never had any special issue recording to 4k from my 4k screen.. but tbh, while I did record to 4k (UHD) For a while, I've reverted back to 1440p to save me from some video editing slow-down, plus I was just setting my screen scaling to super high to compensate for everything being so small anyways.
