So you've downloaded Blender...whats next? Where do you even start? If you're feeling overwhelmed, confused, maybe you've given up on Blender altogether... I get it.  It's not easy to learn, it's not easy to use. But....I think it's time to give it another chance! This won't be a 30 second quick tip or a donut: I think we need to start even more simple than that. I want you to be able to understand and enjoy using Blender because it really has a lot to offer. So here's what we'll go over in this course:
<ul>
<li>Blender Setup Preferences: System GPU / Downloading &amp; enabling add-ons (node wrangler, looptools) Eevee vs Cycles / Changing preview samples / Changing render samples</li>
<li>Basic Navigating in Blender: Controlling mouse movements and screens / Opening and closing windows (viewports) Side panel elements (Right side) / "Z" for render views</li>
<li>Camera View &amp; Creating a Simple Backdrop: Setting default camera to front view / Adding a mesh plane / Split screen, solid view, and adding lights</li>
<li>Adding Simple Primitives to the Scene: Adding primitive shapes to / "EDIT" mode / Exploring vertices, edges, and faces</li>
<li>Hard Surface Basics: Bevel, extrude, &amp; inset faces</li>
<li>Practice Shapes: Triangle Plus sign</li>
<li>Color &amp; Materials: How to add / Edit colors Exploring materials tab / Naming materials</li>
<li>Rendering &amp; Saving (Final Image): Rendering image with cycles / Adjusting world brightness Render sizing (if too slow)</li>
</ul>
