@MoFlow You are in great company here! I’ve told the story many times of my early days learning 3D, filled with frustration. But I’ll spare you of that. Just understand that ever blender/3d artist goes through what you’re going through.
Ok so practical advice: It sounds like the blender version might be the crux of the frustration at this point. Most folks assume that using the for latest version of blender is always the wise choice. But it’s often a terrible idea for learning.
Blender updates so fast that video education simply can’t keep up with the pace. So learners do themselves a huge favor by sticking to the version taught in a given video / course. Blender makes every release available to download here. You just have to look in the bottom right corner of a tutorial to see the Blender version, download, and follow along without any version inconsistencies!
If you’re asking yourself “use old blender versions….but won’t I be behind the curve?” No, you absolutely will not. Blender updates in tiny ways all the time. But the foundations of Blender (and 3D abroad) has barely evolved in 20 years. The important thing at this point in your journey is to understand the foundations of each skillset. The good news is the foundations can be learned with any version of Blender! Once you understand the concepts, adapting to the small changes of each blender update is a minor inconvenience.
Think about how small your pool of relevant education becomes when you’re exclusively using the latest version. Now think about how gargantuan the pool becomes when you’re willing to use any and all versions!
You got this 💪
