Reply To: Feeling overwhelmed from all the awesome content out these days

Honestly it’s not a bad thing to jump around. Sometimes learning feels like a buffet and you want to try anything. Nothing  wrong with learning from a bunch of tutorial tutorials or courses. If you don’t have a specific thing in mind that you want to learn, then it’s perfectly fine to watch many different tutorials. I too tend to have an issue “collecting” tutorials or resources I want to learn from only to see that list grow in size without ever shrinking. 

Something I’ve been doing lately is setting weekly goals on projects or things I want to accomplish. This weekly goal has been to create a new scene or render within Blender or Unity. Often times this weekly goal revolves around a specific tutorial or project, or combination of a few different tutorials but ultimate leads me to building a specific scene. 

Here is an example of one I recently did: https://cgcookie.com/u/jgonzalez/projects/hidden-tomb  this scene was originally just going to be based off the sand dunes tutorial by Kent: https://cgcookie.com/course/creating-procedural-sand-dunes-with-blender-2-8  but I wanted to add a bit more to it and get creative with it which led me to adding some unique objects and textures. This was initially conceived by that tutorial, but by focusing on making it a project for that week I was able to stay focused and provide guidance. 

You may have a large list of tutorials you’d like to get through, so see how you can go through them and build a complete scene. You more than likely won’t learn everything from one tutorial or course, so this can satisfy your need to jump around, but keep you on track.
