Finding a GOOD Blender learning tutorial for the basics and modelling (you know something where you actually LEARN something and not just follow steps to make a donut with sprinkles) is really hard. But I am currently following this (see link below) and I am having a good feeling about that guy. :)
Unfortunately there is also a lot of shortcut work in this tutorial and while I get this is important, it's TERRIBLE for beginners.
I really love that tutorial I am just watching. It's quite literally THE FIRST BLENDER BEGINNER TUTORIAL I HAVE SEEN which shows you how to move an object by using UI elements instead of just telling you an ambiguous shortcut which you quickly gonna forget in all the flow of information.
And if that doesn't sound depressing (in regards to other tutorials), I don't know what to say.
@memoriesin8bit totally agree! Keyboard shortcuts should be considered "advanced", imho. There's a reason we have a gui. It's like a menu, it should tell you what's possible. You can't memorise every input any more than you can memorise every function or verb, otherwise we wouldn't need a gui at all.
@MrBehemo agreed. Now as I go further, the video uses a LOT of shortcuts for the actual modelling, but he spent so much time telling me how the UI works, that I am able to do it that way. And he CONSTANTLY also goes: "You can also press this button/use this side bar" etc.
It's actually fortifying what I am learning as I do. I already know the base UI better than I did after 3 whole donuts.
