Intro to Blender

I want you to get a glass of water, or perhaps a coffee or a tea.

I have prepared an hour long video for you that will teach you all of the basic hotkeys and functionalities you will need in order to get started.

It is information dense, timestamped, and very boring.

Take your time with it. You do not need to learn all of it in one sitting.

Note - Please keep this in mind. At the end of this video, you will be modeling a sword and shield. If your sword and shield turn out broken, or busted, or don't look like mine - that is perfectly fine, and to be expected. We will go over exactly why things break, and how to fix them, in a later chapter - for now, just learn the basics of how to interact with Blender. Now get stuck in!

✨Homework✨

I want to see a sword and shield prop, vaguely reminiscent of the above video. But you can take creative freedom with it if you want! Have fun, play around. If you're a mentee of mine, please ensure that you have the file ready for me next time we chat.
