From Zero to Blender Hero: My One-Year Journey (1 Year Blender Progression)

[@___Goose]

love these, its crazy how fast people progress in blender

[@FulguroGeek]

the hardest thing in blender is knowing the tools you need to make what you want. Once you getting familiar with a lots of tools in blender the work becomes more fun ayou get less headhache. Sometimes you realize in the begining because your lost that a 5 minute tutorial video will take you 3 hours to make becuas ethere is so much info packed in those 5 minutes but redo this and in no time you will be able to do the same thing in 10 minutes.. Also as you get along your learning you realize that blender is a base product but you can get hundreds of free add ons and pluggins that will help you being more efficient at dong certain things. Im 4 months in and already made some really cool stuff by myself and i aldo fallow tutorials. I think The daughnuttutorial is really the best to begin with and if you fallow the multiple part of it and you still enjoy blender after it you know its for you and if you get bored after 1-2 part of the tutorials you know its not for you but that daughnut is really where its at to begin your journey a 10 parts tutorial with the best biginer information you can get.

@@FulguroGeek I really really really love blender like idk why like it should be hard but it’s not and idk why I love blender. I think it’s mainly because it’s like an empty canvas for me or like legos in the sense that if you can dream it you can make it. The donut tutorial is where I started and it’s amazing(I personally prefer the 2.8 tutorial since that one is photorealistic and I am a huge fan of photorealistic renders whereas the new one is a cartoony one) that tutorial taught me so much and It only reinforced my love for blender. Overall I always ask myself why I like blender because I never really imagined myself doing this kind of thing with vfx work and renders but its the endless possibilities of what I can create that makes me love it and I will continue my blender journey and hope to create even more amazing renders 😀😀😀

[@MASK69]

Ma'am. This isn't progress...

[@deez6683]

Just a tip for people who wanna get better at blender, yt shorts actually have a lot of good tutorials that can show you how to do various things in less then a minute

[@AlexAnder-jl1fz]

​@@FulguroGeekhey man where are you at

[@imDannyGaming]

I just started with Blender and finding it super hard even just to do the standard donut tutorial. So kudos for your progress!

[@Porkupine69]

Don't do the donut It's a waste of time Think of something you want to make and then search for tutorials based on that I made decent progress(started only 3 months ago)

[@zwatchxd9175]

@@Porkupine69 the donut tutorial is basically a beginner’s tutorial about edit mode, modifier, materials, scatter, texture painting, etc. that is implemented into an object so its not a waste of time if what you want is to know what these different tools are, but if you only use blender for example only to sculpt, then its a waste of time

[@coreyaruecker]

Do the Donut. I did the Donut, was super frustrated with it and made a lot of mistakes. I took a big break after that frustration and I'm progressing much more quickly now. In hindsight, that Donut tutorial taught me the tools of blender. After that, you can start getting into specific things you want to learn and the tools that the donut tutorial provides are going to be applicable all over the place.

[@zwatchxd9175]

@@florianschwarz5541 the first one was released in 2019 and then came Blender 3.0 with geometry nodes so he made a new one

[@sicorange3]

Took me 2 files and 3 tries with the donut, so I feel that. This guy progressed well. I'm about 4 months in and nothing like this.

[@rainvortex6181]

Bro your first render was just 🔥

[@karon99]

Thanks 🔥

[@callme_A_K]

Ngl that last short animation was sick! Really felt like the start to a movie/documentary. Looks really good! Tbh now i want to what that movie even though it doesen't exist XD. It's just super well made! Absolutly amazing! Keep doing what you do 'cause you're great at it!

[@karon99]

Thanks a ton!

[@xartemis2147]

I'm going to be honest this is really overwhelming as, barely, a beginner but i hope things start making sense later down the road

[@BigBrainsBlender993]

Dude, this is an insane amount of progress. Keep it up.

[@karon99]

Thank you!

Your progress in just one year is really great! Keep up the good work

Your video gets me excited to dive into this creative outlet

[@karon99]

Glad to hear that 👌

[@skyhighproductions6320]

I just started and I love working with blender it's so interesting, and when I'm not on it I love coming to KZbin for inspiration and tell my self in a year I could make stuff like that that.thanks so mutch for inspiration

[@shakiba7860]

Your dedication and hard work are inspiring!

[@sneeznoodle]

God this is inspiring. I'm gonna watch this whenever I wanna get motivated to learn.

[@creationsmarko]

I love how everyone goes a different route in learning blender. This progression is definetly one of my favorite since grant and ian hubert and cg geek have really good tutorials and your motion graphics and realistic renders really look incredibly good. Keep it up!

[@karon99]

Thank you 👌

[@anyllmarkevich9048]

This is amazing! Seeing your skills and style develop was simply joy! Keep up the wonderful work, and I can't wait to see what you make in the future (the Mars sequence is looking fantastic)! (Also it's nice to find another Denis Villeneuve fan ;) )

[@trusarmor4957]

this is frickin incredible, in just a year ? i'm going to start teaching myself Blender today. great job

[@BarbaOlof]

Nice work. Inspiring! I’ve started over at beginner level several times. There are loads of good tutorials out there, but switching from tutorials to truly original work is the tricky part, for me at least.

[@karon99]

Do not give up. It is a matter of practice

[@bradleydesignsohio]

I cannot even express how cool this was. I watched all the way through! the dominoes ad was so slick. It all was but its nice that you were able to apply what you learned. That's the part I'm still learning to do. Nice job!

[@hieuvu6769]

I am not gonna lie, the last thing in the list made me think that you had modelled a moldy orange, and something was going to come out of it. Great work though :)

This is amazing I am getting onto blender only having experience with parametric 3d design (Fusion 360) for simple 3d printing stuff. Blender is very different. Also I see another Denis Villeneuve fan !!! Cant wait until I am able to model stuff like that , still on the Doughnut for now.

Is this the first animation software you’ve learned? Because you seem like you’re already a pro

I wanna see if I can do all this under a year or within months. I stay up every night working on my 3D skills , then sleep half the day and repeat, writing pages and pages of notes and useful information.

Quick question Please tell me that is this progress by learning or using blender everyday? Or you used to use it now and then

Great progression! What tutorial did you use to create something similar to that black hole scene, I always liked space sci-fi stuff :)
