Blender 2024

One of my goals this year is to learn how to use Blender (for like, the 14th time in a row). I've pick it up and used it multiple times in the past, all the way back to version 2.5 back in the day, Blender is up to version 4 now with a lot of quality of life features I'm now learning about, I'll use this page to document my learning.

January

I started late last year by following Joey Carlino's tutorials after a recomendation and got some very good results fast. It helps I already know a fair bit about Blender

I played around with material nodes a bit, they were pretty new when I last used Blender so I'm not super familiar with them

February

Feburary was slower then I would like as I started work again, I mostly spent it working on a cap for TF2.

Cool Hats

I also had a crack at making the Town Center From Age of Empires, might put this one on ice...

Crappy Town Centre

Oh and I made this crappy skull to try out Sculpting

Rattled

March

March was a dud Month, did not open Blender Once, I consider this a fail but sometimes these things happen

April

April was more productive, I started by making a Sharpener on my desk using booleans

I found out about Metaballs! Made a Giraffe using them

and I found a cool 90s style CGI renderer to play with
