Hi everyone! I welcome to this series of posts I’m hopefully going to commit to continuing. For starters, in case you don’t know what Blender is, it’s a free program, most known for its incredible 3d tools, but it also offers 2d animation and editing.
Blender is known on the Internet for being hard to learn, most quoted as a nightmare. I already tried to learn Blender once in the past because my dad kept saying that I should do so, considering it’s a growing field in the industry. I tried and failed, miserably. I got frustrated and simply abandoned my donut. Ah yes…the donut.
The blender donut became popular thanks to the YouTuber Blender Guru, who makes almost yearly beginner tutorials, and the project is to make a donut.
Why am I making this series? I’m essentially attempting to learn Blender again. I know this might seem like the worst possible option, considering my horrible history with it, but as the song says, ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’
This brings me to the purpose of this series. I need an accountability partner and maybe you need one too hence the High School Musical song ‘We’re All in This Together’ reference in the title.
As for how my donut is doing, well, I just arrived at the first hour of the tutorial and I’m close to pulling my hairs out. I’m stuck because I changed something in the solidify settings and now my donut is more like a bagel. My icing, aka the yummiest part, has literally blended (blender you know?) with my donut and is now notably lacking.
Lastly, if anyone is also learning Blender, I think this blog series might console you in the profound despair that you’ve probably been experiencing 99% of the time you’ve been using the program.
Before leaving, I may excuse myself for the depressing note of this post. I do have to add that I did, however, complete the Blender monkey. Yes. I know it comes with the program but let me have a win. I recommend you try it too.
Bye! Hope you enjoyed, I hope at least this got you into the mood for some sad girl bops.
