10 Blender 3D tutorials worth a look

Filed under Design

Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License.

I have always wanted to learn a 3d program to extend my capabilities and a little 3D in our designs can take your designs to another level. There is no harm in learning something new so I will list a few good tutorials that I will use to learn my way through blender. If you have any resources that you would like to share, please leave a comment.

Extensive Guides

Blender 3D Design Course

The Blender 3D Design course is intended to offer students an introduction to the world of computer generated 3-D modeling and animation. As an introductory course, it provides a basic understanding of the skills and techniques employed by 3-D designers in a wide range of applications.

Noob to Pro

This book can be seen as a series of tutorials arranged to help new users achieve expertise in Blender. The tutorials will increase in difficulty but enable intermediate users to quickly advance into whatever tutorial most suits their knowledge and continue along the sequence. We’ve made concerted efforts to accommodate everyone.
