Reply To: Are you new to CG Cookie? Say hi to your new Blender tribe! 🍪
Hello!
I’m a Swedish dog trainer who joined CG Cookie about three weeks ago. We do a lot of online courses (especially with the covid year…) and ideally I would like to learn to make simple animations, explainers, things like that for our course content. “Simple” I’m sure is the wrong word, and it may be a ridiculous goal even – I don’t know enough yet to have a realistic understanding of what one person can ever do. 😂
Regardless though, I really enjoy learning something new and challenging. Blender is a lot of fun! I really enjoy the courses I’ve looked at so far, and it’s absolutely awesome that the lessons can be downloaded. I try to listen to lessons while I’m driving or walking the dog, I can’t quite grasp everything with just the audio but at least the content is familiar to me when I can sit down to watch for real – I need to hear things many times to understand even a little, Blender is hard!
Last week I killed my computer and lost a lot of files, among them my projects. I’d fought really hard with the Stylized 3d forest environment course, it was difficult to understand and I kept making mistakes, but eventually I had the basic setup to start changing things around and experimenting – and then, gone…
I’m choosing to think it’s a good thing though, because I had such a hard time getting through it I probably should start from scratch again anyway… 😆
With work and my dog (a young cane corso with lots of destructive energy 😂) I can’t spend as much time on Blender as I would perhaps like, but I’ll keep pushing forward and I’ll see how far I get!
