The 7 Best Tutorials For Learning Blender in 2023.
Last year I started learning Blender, and I quickly realized the learning curve was really steep. So in this article I've gathered what I consider to be the 7 best YouTube-tutorials for newcomers to the awesome 3D-software that is Blender.
Brad Colbow
In his video on "Things I wish I knew before I started learning Blender 3D", Brad goes over what he skipped when he started learning Blender, so that you don't have to. He also suggests other tutorials in his video, which you should definetely check out if you want to deep into different aspects of Blender.
JeanYan Online
In his tutorial on how to find, rig, and animate a car in Blender, you'll get a basic introduction to how the process of animation works. Some of you might find it daunting to take on animation already, but in my experience, having watched the tutorial and actually tried following along has been is useful, even if I can't do everything the guy in the video can.
3DGreenhorn
You might have seen those open 3D rooms that look kind of adorable. This is the tutorial where you learn to make one of those. You get to learn how to make a bed, cupboard, walls, floor and a whole lot more, in just 15 minutes. Now, it's obviously going to take you longer than that, but after some practice you should be able to do the same.
Polyfjord
There are plenty of incredible tutorials on this channel, but the one I want you to start out with is "Tipping over stacks of cubes in Blender". This will teach you about rigid body animations, which is super useful to know. Also, tipping over and destroying boxes is pretty darn satisfying, if you ask me.
CG Boost
In CG Boost's tutorial on autofocus they also touch on important fundamentals in Blender, such as 3-point-lighting setup and walk navigation. Zach Reinhardt, who will be guiding you through the video has plenty of other tutorials on his channel, linked below.
Ian Hubert
This guy is pretty much a legend within the Blender community. Ian is especially known for his "lazy tutorials" which are 1 minute videos with fast paced explaining how to do Blender stuff. You might have to slow down the videos or pause a lot, but learning his way of approaching the software can really inspire you to take on projects you didn't know you could.
Blender Guru
No Blender tutorial list is complete without the man himself, Blender Guru. Endorsed by the creators of Blender, he has recently updated his famous "How to create a donut in Blender" tutorial, which millions of newcomers have embraced as their first project. If you start out here, as many others have, make sure to send me a render of your donut when you're done!
