Learning Blender - A step by step beginner Tutorial for 3D Artists

Hi everyone, it's been a while but today I am happy to share a 2 hour and step by step Blender beginners course. All the way from basic navigation, setting up shortcuts, installing and mastering free and useful plugins, modifiers, tools over to modelling a 20mm Vulcan cannon round at the end to make it worthwhile to sit through the 2 hours. Oh and as well as making a render for it. 📸✨
If you are coming from 3ds Max like I did then you will find a few comparisons and references I make to it. Now that this beginners introduction is done you can expect more tutorials to come out in the future. All relevant links at the bottom of the description. Don't forget to subscribe! 🙂

Mate, I have to say, having someone who is an industry professional teaching Blender is simply amazing. While other youtubers are excellent, you show and demonstrate fundamental understanding that pours from the screen because you know what to change in Blender to suit your skill set. I have used Blender for a long time and the fact you have come in with a few months experience to reveal a side of Blender I have never seen before made me feel like a beginner all over again in the best way possible. Please keep doing tutorials for Blender and I wish you all the best because you deserve it. Cheers!!

[@ChamferZone]

Thank you :) Really appreciate your comment and already working on the next Blender course for my gumroad marketplace now. There'll be a trailer for once it's done and it's going to be great. The previous tutorials should serve a good base to take it to the next level from there. I will have more free tutorials in the future too of course.

I used to recommend your 3DS Max tutorials to everyone. They were the best tutorials I could find. Now we've got blender tutorials!!!

[@cyberneticbeard]

Just when I was thinking it's time to make a switch for Blender, my favorite 3D tutor comes up with a Blender tutorial. We're lucky to have you Tim, keep up inspiring and being awesome!

[@schwartzadrian]

This is why I love creative jobs, you will never stop learning. Every tool is a Hammer 🙃 Great suprise for 2021. 🍾

[@airdinsh]

Ich hätte wahrscheinlich jede Hülse und Kugel Einzel platziert, aber dank physics kann man die Objekte einfach „fallen lassen“... echt der Knaller... und das endresultat ist einfach unglaublich gut geworden... und das in der kurzen Zeit... einfach wow!!!

[@jujuboohoo]

Wow, man. I learned Max by following your grenade vdos. I started using Blender couple years ago and it's an awesome 3d software. Your channel is going to blow up if you do blender tuts.

[@ChamferZone]

One thing I'd like to add is that I have never been a friend of all the 3DsMax vs blender quarrels going on - it does have some funny memes though 😂 Both are excellent pieces of software so I don't look at it from "which side are you on perspective" but more from an angle of what makes a good software worth making tutorials for and how good is it for doing the actual modeling work. It's a win win for both sides. I love 3ds Max and Blender. From my perspective I see Blender only getting better from where it's now and ultimately the end result matters. In general what can be achieved with 3ds Max can also be done with Blender and vice versa. One question that gets asked a lot is whether it's worth learning Blender over 3DsMax (or Maya) if you want to make an entry into the game industry where many studios are still using Autodesk products for the most parts. I'd say that if you get really good with one software it won't be hard to understand the other and that's also why I have tutorials for both. It will expand your horizon to be able to compare them and make you an even better 3D Artist. Another thing is that in most companies I ever worked for it would not make a difference what software I use unless perhaps you make very unique objects that require certain tools that have been specifically written for only one software. Even then there's a good chance you could do the main work in Blender, import the result into the next software and do the final export from there. At the end 3ds Max or Blender is just a tool like a hammer that allows us to forge 3D Art with it 🔨

[@romolo1990]

I am very happy when I read balanced and objective comments, i've learned a lot from your 3DsMax tutorials and masterclasses and, sure, i'll do with blender ones. Thank you in advance for your excellent job and keep rocking!

[@ChamferZone]

@@comedyguy911 Sure, gonna do that later the day and put it into the description :) But if you follow the tutorial all the way you will have 1:1 the same shortcuts too. A few shortcuts are also assigned to plugins so you would need to install those for it to work. Again all explained in the tutorial.

[@zaparine]

@@ChamferZone I used 3ds max first for like 8 years then switched to Blender and found out there’s a lot of awesome features that make modeling more convenient in Blender than 3ds max like hitting G twice and then C to enable edge constraints that can go beyond the original mesh which 3ds max cannot do. Or the Blender’s Shrinkwarp modifier that’s a thousand times better than the Conform tool in 3ds max. That being said there are still lots of things that 3ds max doing better than Blender like the FFD modifier or Include/Exclude lights etc. All in all I still use both 3ds max and Blender by switching around between these 2 to get the best out of each program. p.s I can’t thanks you enough for making that killer AKM tutorial. I became good at 3ds max because of your awesome tutorials!

[@toddspeck9415]

I am slowly getting Blender dialed in. I am so impressed with Blender. I am also blown away when I draw up a model in MOI, Moment of Inspiration. And send it over to Blender. And then I coat it with the red gloss matcap....oooooo. It looks so radical. Wonder if you tried MOI? Thanks again Tim.

[@sperglordsama412]

Year ago when I'm still study 3D they taught me using 3d max, and I've been learn so much from your channel too. Now, i couldn't afford the school and been learning blender and somehow i found that you move to blender too. Thank you very much for uploading this.

Thanks for putting this together, it's very good. A couple notes: 00:40:33 Loopcut tool is Ctrl+R, or accessible from the Edge Menu (Ctrl+E). 01:07:00 Previously created materials can be accessed from the dropdown next to "+new" button (Material sphere icon). Linking materials is very useful, but assigning all materials to all objects like this is not ideal.

[@ChamferZone]

Awesome, thanks for pointing that out. Yes, that seems very useful for the materials and good to access loopcut through a shortcut. It's definitely often needed :)

Blender truly is an amazing software. Hopefully the companies will soon accept that it isn't an amateur software anymore :)

[@aliensoup2420]

No such thing as amateur software - only amateur or professional artists.

[@Wenedi]

@@aliensoup2420 why are the companies requiring you to know maya/max then and never list Blender as one of the options?

[@aliensoup2420]

@@Wenedi The software used by production companies is technically more complex and more adaptable to large production pipelines, but I am not making the distinction between large scale production and single person contractors. A competent and knowledgable artist can create good work with basic free-ware. I guarantee you a majority of "professionals" working for companies know less than 50% of the capabilities of any given software. They are highly compartmentalized and know only what they need to know for their particular task. No, you won't be creating the next Godzilla/Marvel mashup spectacular using freeware, but simply saying "I know how to use Maya" doesn't make you an artist. But anyway it's a worn-out semantical argument . If you need to know Maya or Max then learn it and get that job.

[@shia8938]

@@Wenedi because companies already invested in those programs. Also replacing softwares in a pipeline can be hard...

[@ashajade8279]

I'm not sure if anyones already said this but the issue that arises at around 1:46:43 where the line you turned into a curve has uneven geometry and the only way to fix it is to use 2D but then, as you said, you cant change the z axis, a small fix I've found is 1) sometimes applying the scale fixes it but it didnt for me using the same shaped line you had, so, 2) turning it back into a mesh (without the depth applied, so its still just a single line) then bevelling the sharp corners into three verts so it still keeps around about the same corner shape and then converting it back into a curve and adding depth. When I did this, the geometry of the curve was as even as using 2D, but with the benefit of being able to move along the z axis also. Sorry if my terminology is off, or if my comment is already redunant because theres a better fix or it's already been commented and I missed it.

Hello everyone, a few months have passed since the release of this Tutorial and one important thing to mention is that you DON'T need the QBlocker plugin anymore. This functionality is now built into Blender and can be accessed here: i.imgur.com/h9MJ9HM.png It behaves almost the same way as QBlocker. Meanwhile I've been working nonstop on the next big weapon Blender based weapon tutorial which is now out: chamferzone.gumroad.com/l/RevolverTutorial Sorry if I didn't have the time to reply to many comments on KZbin. You can always join us on the ChamferZone Discord where we have a great community to learn 3D modeling together: discord.gg/s98PbNk7pM

QBlocker does still have parametric primitive objects though, which can be changed after placement so that you don't have to redraw the primitive every time you change your mind.

Hi. When you change blender version you can keep all addons and configurations without having to activate them again. When you have the new version installed, the splash screen asks you if you want to load the settings of the previous version and that is all you have to do. Then you have all your addons and previous configurations.

[@ChamferZone]

Thanks Leonardo, yes that is true! But the strange thing is that I installed Blender, booted it up and then I ignored that start screen and once you click it away it won't appear on the next launch and I haven't found a way to get back to this auto import button. Seems to be a one time click thing and if you don't do it it won't work. Either way, from now on I will always hit that button on each new installation and thanks for mentioning it.

Hey, ahh that might explain where those come from! Yeah been wondering about those :) Not like they cause any issues. Just annoyingly in the way when we don't need them.

Set myself as goal making a beamng mod, looked at lots of video but this would defenitly be the best tut video ive watched. Very clearly explained, lots of good tips. Great video if you wanne learn how things are done. Although i got no numpad on the laptop luckely my gaming equipment comes in handy, just turned my tartarus gamepad into a numpad profile.

Glad to see you’re back. I hope you do a weapon tutorial in blender or something close. Been trying to get back into 3D modeling but every hotkey and workflow has changed since 2014 it’s hard to get back
