Learning something new, sort of

in #blender4 years ago (edited)

Bored, like many others at the beginning of 2021, I decided to build a new workstation computer. I'm super happy I chose to do it. Now I'm able to get back into making digital art. I downloaded Blender, Unreal Engine, and well I haven't decided on a CAD and Photo Editing software. I'm sure I'll likely choose Gimp for photo editing, and pay for an AutoCAD Architecture license. We'll see though, I'm not 100% certain I'll use the CAD software just yet. For now though I like the thousands others on the Blender doughnut Redditthread started making a doughnut with Blender Guru on YouTube. I finished the first level or the first four videos and well it's a start. I know what I should be doing, but I haven't used blender since version 1.27 and now it's on version 2.92 that's almost 3.0! I'm going to spend the next month practicing and trying to get good enough to render interiors.

My icing doesn't look too great, I'm not really a modeler, but I'm trying. My specialty is hard objects like architecture. I'm going to add the sprinkles and paint on the cake to make it look more photorealistic.

If you're trying to learn Blender, I recommend Blender Guru he explains things well and does projects in 15-20 minute lessons. It's super easy to spend 1-2 hours and make it through an entire project.
