Learning Blender in a crunch

while taking cs4342, to be honest i learnt everything about Blender from Youtube to complete my assignments. perhaps the teaching styles didn't match, but i didn't feel that labs were helpful at all.

get Blender here: http://www.blender.org/

so after prowling Youtube for hours to learn from scratch what Blender is and such, I have compiled a list of Youtube tutorials for Blender which i found were succinct and great! i can be impatient so these videos are mostly shorter than 20mins.

first up, cgboorman is awesome to the max! ♥ he has a series of tutorials covering various topics and they are all clear and easy to follow.

check out his channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/cgboorman

Modelling a human by RivenPhoenix:

Animating paths by ianscott888:

Export animation by Daniel Kreuter:

Blender also has a video editing function which is very easy to use with it's drag and drop function.

and this is how i survived my 3d modelling module assignments. with the power of Youtube! i'm not good at it but at least i could scrape pass i guess. (T▽T)

nice songs always help make modelling less tedious:

its surreal how the assignments all have deadlines in a week when its barely week 2. saying "sorry, cant go, have assignments due" with people responding "what its only week 2.!" yea i do know its week 2 but too bad we are from different courses, different modules, different assignments due so bugger off and let me finish them.

bah. people need to understand that. i dont see how going "why do you have assignments now.?" makes my assignments magically complete and submit themselves.

ohkay. end of rant. lets all know that we all have different schedules. bye.

here's a nice thought to end this ranty post.
