Having trouble figuring out Blender 3D on your own? These Blender 3D Tutorial Videos will get you off to a great start. I am pleased to offer these free Blender tutorials available to help you learn Blender and 3d animation quickly.

Blender is a powerful and capable free 3D software package for commercial or personal use.

I have worked with Blender for the past 12 years creating 3D animation for television pilots, commercial presentations, corporate graphic and visualizations. In addition to using Blender on a daily basis in my work, I teach Blender to college graphic arts students. These videos are suitable for anyone with basic computer skills wanting to learn Blender. Whether you are 8 or 80 I hope these will help you quickly develop a strong foundation in Blender 3D.

Learning Blender will take patience and practice but it is worth the effort.

When I first began learning Blender, it made my head hurt. There was so much to learn and I did not not know where to begin. I quickly discovered that learning to use 3D animation software has much in common with learning a musical instrument. Just like learning to play the guitar or piano, you and your fingers will develop a memory for the the keyboard and mouse movements that will allow you to create with proficiency. It will take some patience and some practice, but the reward will be the ability to create amazing objects, images, animations and games with competence and confidence. So when your head starts to hurt take a break and then come back to it again. You will find its gets easier as you go.

Whatever talents God has endowed you with, add to it persistence and determination to master the skills to develop those talents.
