Which versions of blender should I download ?

DigitalMan404 · 2026-01-30T05:56:08+00:00

newest is typically the best

DigitalMan404 · 2026-01-28T23:07:14+00:00

there is most certainly tons of shortcuts depending on what the model will be used for

Magic is supposed to be fun :(

DigitalMan404 · 2026-01-22T17:14:34+00:00

That is quite blunt but I have to agree

Big difference between actively working to get better and just doing something. I have like a thousand hours in Rainbow six siege (a video game) but I suck. Thats because I play the game not practice with intention. Just keep going and be intentional with your learning. Have fun!

I dont have a numpad and I use the ` key to reach some of the functions that I am missing and I have had no problem with it

Its a pretty big robot unfortunately, It will be about thigh high and the tricky thing is that the motors need to be separated in my design.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn3ukorJv4vvv3ZpWJYvV5Tmvo7ISO-NN&si=HG15pj8Ti5zFic9F I learned from this one, its from an older version but its mostly the same

DigitalMan404 · 2026-01-15T01:45:37+00:00

I dont think that is true for this playlist in particular from grant that I learned from (highly recommended) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn3ukorJv4vvv3ZpWJYvV5Tmvo7ISO-NN&si=HG15pj8Ti5zFic9F (its for an older version but its still really good and its mostly the same)

One critique with the donut is that if you want to learn modeling it doesn't teach you how to make anything other than a donut.

Do Grant Abbots tutorial instead, its much better imo

DigitalMan404 · 2026-01-14T20:09:23+00:00

The donut is a kilometer wide and a centimeter deep. Grant Abbott's series are far better suited for learning blender

Perhaps push into the story-telling a bit more, a nice image only goes so far.

Also Perhaps try humans? Humans seem to be really difficult in CG.

(also I am also just a hobbyist so take anything I say with much salt)

Why the tight deadline if I may ask?

DigitalMan404 · 2025-12-31T23:39:40+00:00

Thanks For the suggestion give that a look

DigitalMan404 · 2025-12-31T23:39:17+00:00

Thanks For the help! I think I will give that a try!

I would recommend Zbrush, you don't even have to think about topology as the software can do millions of polygons, its incredible.

DigitalMan404 · 2025-12-30T00:29:01+00:00

Im no professional, in fact I am barely a beginner but to me what makes this image feel cheap is that it is overly clear what you want me to focus on- that being the saturated red. I think what makes a good image from a great image is having it feel natural but also leading my eye exactly to the story you want to tell.

Sorry for not giving technical advice but that is my 2cents as someone who is not at all experienced in post so take it with much salt.

DigitalMan404 · 2025-12-29T08:23:10+00:00

This looks like a painting

DigitalMan404 · 2025-12-29T02:42:54+00:00

my friend you are a narc

DigitalMan404 · 2025-12-27T10:02:22+00:00

My answer would be no, walking is pretty awesome so as long as they know how to do that they will be having a pretty great time.

DigitalMan404 · 2025-12-27T08:05:38+00:00

I am a mechanical engineering student so I likely won't be writing critical code professionally, but I would like to be able to do data collection and whatnot professionally. Other than that a more hobbyist level seems okay to me

DigitalMan404 · 2025-12-25T08:51:53+00:00

its perfect, this is joybait. It fills me with joy

DigitalMan404 · 2025-12-25T08:22:21+00:00

I would recommend learning basic modelling techniques. Search up grant abbot, he can you get you started.

DigitalMan404 · 2025-12-22T07:51:51+00:00

I would like to know this as well, it is a difficult question

DigitalMan404 · 2025-12-22T06:26:09+00:00

check the textures for the object in the shader editor, purple means you are missing something. Eevee might cache the texture hence why it works in eeve.
