Yeah Harris, don’t be afraid to use the Blender version that is used in the course. There is an OCD we all have that we need to be using the latest thing, but our brains are playing a bad trick on our minds. You are not missing out if you use Blender 2.7 to do the course, again, you are not missing out, totally the contrary, you can perfectly use 2.7 and absorb the core knowledge which doesn’t change and is present through each Blender version ever.
Blender is 98% the same always, the things that change are a speckle compared to the overall 3D concepts that have always been there. Once you know the core concepts and you go back to 4.0, the little annoyance is that in Blender 4.0 the buttons will just be in some other place and that to relocate stuff in the UI is easy, compared to the headache of having a huge discrepancy between what’s on the video and in the Blender you are using.
Blender changes too fast and this will always be the case, so the best solution by far is to always use the Blender version that is used in the tutorial you are watching. Over time this becomes a non issue since you know the concepts and you just figure out where the button is.
