I have the sudden urge to try my hand at 3D art.

I’ll make something 3D and post it here hehe.

OOOH I could make us some crusty emotes!

Is blender hard?

    Learning how to do it well requires a good grasp of geometry, boundary logic, extrusion and cuts. Basically if you know how to look at a block and what cuts you need to make from it to create something, you can make anything

    Is there a way I can study/learn about this stuff aside from trial and error?

    I’ve always felt like I should understand the basic theory of how to do 3D modeling (and why it’s done that way), but tutorials are always crash courses in how to navigate the UI.

      Not sure. I learned how to do it through school, where we basically had about 3 months of class that was UI crash course, and from there it was about a year of theory, particularly focused in assembly and CAD.
