So, I'm popping in every now and then to say Hello!
On my ventures I came across some videos that said Blender is difficult, even the resource thread says it's difficult. Even I used to believe so. These videos should help clear that!
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/testing-virtual-recording
Specifically
Video 1
Video 2 and
Video 3
(Modeling something specifically video coming soon)
These Tutorials, although unscripted are intended for 2 things:
1. Give you ALL of the basics necessary to model, so you don't find a novice section and wonder where the intermediate stuff is that you're missing.
2. Demystify the interface, so you can use Blender efficiently even if you don't know what all the buttons do.
I need to know if they are relatively easy to follow, what needs to change. What needs to add to the video, and periodically someone wants a Blender Tutorial so I thought I'd paste here.
And yes, video 3 sucks at about minute 10. But I did get out of the rut at the last part, so be patient and I'll redo or make a better one (scripted probably too).
However, I watched each video myself afterward to cover all the holes, so if something's missing just keep going to the next one, though "baking" isn't covered... it's a bit advanced anyway.
Greenlig: bug me if I don't mention your helpful posts about exporting later.
I will check back to see any comments and respond by updating. I'm no expert, as you all know, but these videos should still accomplish the points 1 and 2, except material editing. Any requests on what to model?
