Blender:Basics course | First video lesson
I've finally made it!
I'm excited to introduce the first lesson of my brand new Blender video course!
Originally, I intended to sell this course, but I decided to make it completely free. I've put a lot of my energy and effort into completing this project. I have never done anything like this before. I have never made educational videos, and I never thought I would do so. But everything can happen for the first time.
I designed this course in such a way that anybody who have never used Blender could learn the basics of this software and start creating something independently using the tools I covered in it. I remember the first Blender course I watched when I started learning. I wasn't satisfied, I can tell. It was very boring and I gave up learning Blender for some time after I finished that course. I can't say it was a bad course – I did learned something. But I struggled while watching it and felt very bored. So I tried to make my own course more diverse and dynamic. I really tried hard to achieve that.
Basically, my main criterion while making the videos was: “Do I feel bored while editing this video?” And I can say for sure that I was very bored with many of my recordings. This is basically the main reason why I refactored and re-recorded the videos several times. I struggled even to make those videos, and watching them would have been a struggle as well.
At some point, I started making records that I was quite satisfied with. This began around the third revision, after I had already made for at least 15 recordings. And every video meant: a new topic, a new script, a new recording, new edits and so on. Just to make it as good as I could accept for myself. And also, which is important, to make it better than the first Blender course I learned from.
I hope this course will be useful. I'm still looking for ways to make some financial profit with this software. I really love it, and I think I will continue searching for ways to make my creative projects created with Blender profitable. It gives me independence in my creativity. And this video course is one of the ways – or at least attempts – to strengthen that independence.
I have an interesting story about how I decided to create this video course. I'll share it in the next post.
Thank you for reading. And thanks to everyone who followed my updates throughout the development process.
