Videos 16 - 20 for the texturing and materials UI. Videos 8 - 15 are essential to start getting a handle on the modeling UI, as well as some basic techniques. Videos 1 - 7 are essential to start getting a handle on the UI. I really recommend starting with this playlist: And the better you articulate your questions, the better we can help. And don't be afraid to ask questions when something like this trips you up. So you can find the UI you need yourself without the tutorial explicitly walking you through it. In my opinion, I'd say you want to get a really solid understanding of the Blender UI. well this takes difficulty to the next level doesn't it? what's your advise to avoid things like this then? But, because I have a pretty solid foundation in the general Blender UI, I can make do with a much shorter and quicker video about the new stuff that might be a bit too fast for a beginner. Like, I might go and watch a tutorial video from pre 2.8 (huge UI changes with that version) and I can translate that over to 2.8 and find where they've moved the UI stuff on my own.įor some things though, like when they did this swap from their old simulation systems (which had been around for several years at least I believe) to the new systems, even I might have to find the new videos specifically about the new systems. I will go and watch older tutorials on some stuff, because I'm comfortable enough with the UI and I have a very solid foundation on how it works. Once you achieve a certain level of familiarity with the software, you'll have to worry less about that.

But you are probably not always going to find up to date ones right away. So you can avoid old information that leads you the wrong way in the newer version of the software.

General 3d techinques apply across all software, however the tools you might use to get there will have some specificity to the particular software you are using.Īs a beginner, you will probably want to find the latest videos on whatever you are trying to learn at the moment, if you can. There is the UI (user interface), and there is general 3d techniques. You could put the stuff you'll need to learn into 2 categories. Originally posted by PinkBunny 🐙:so basically, if someone wants to learn something in blender or from other types of software, I have to watch out and make sure I watch as latest videos as I can right? so if it's older than 1 year or half year, I might stalk the problem which wasn't even described in the video. cause as I found out some needed this video instructions which I posted to get the results, and some didn't I took the steps from this vid, and my another question is why I needed to take those steps when some people don't need to do this and it instantly does the smoke and fire effect.

I strongly suggest you start with the Blender 2.8 Fundamentals series (search for it on YouTube, you cannot miss it) and only then go on to more advanced stuff like smoke sims.Įdit: I may have misunderstood, maybe you aren't a beginner to Blender, in that case at least tell us the video and at which point you had an issue (maybe with a screenshot?) first of all, thanks for the response, I managed to find a fix, it took me another video to find out and fix it. The most likely reason is that either you didn't follow the instructions correctly or the video is missing a step or two.

It *could* be that the video was made with an older Blender version and something has changed since. There are plugins and addons but if you needed one of those it would have been mentioned in the video. The 'base' version of Blender is complete, there are no other versions.
