RE: Introduction to Blender 90 - a Blender training page on Steemit
Yeh @ned give us an update on SMT please. Blender is not my thing because its UI is like scribbles to me.. Well done for sticking with it.
Yeah Blender's UI sucks a lot. In my view the best ever VFX interface is Blackmagic Fusion's and then in 3d followed by Houdini. Those interfaces are so consistent, once you understand the rules everything is logical as to where it should be, whereas Blender most things are counter-intuitive and not where you understand they should be.
However it is free and it has a lot of power, plus the animation side of it is, in my view, best in class. I hope you'll check out the first tutorial. It should help you understand a pathway through picking up Blender!
This is the video introduction I did which explains a bit about the software I'm going to be teaching, mainly Blender but also a lot of BlackMagic Fusion and that combination (Blender and Fusion) together is where the real power lies. Blender's compositor is about 1/100th the power that Fusion has so when you plug Fusion in you magnify what you can do in Blender exponentially.
