But most striking of all, some where asking if I’d write a book! I was lost and very seriously considering giving it up.īut then I attended the 2009 Blender conference and was shocked to discover that people actually knew me and loved my tutorials. So I started – a free tutorial site, aimed at attracting freelancing work!Īfter a year I was getting lots of viewers, but no freelance work. I knew that I wanted to use Blender fulltime, but nobody was going to hire me. When I finished high school I had no job prospects. Until 4 years later, I finally achieved my goal… creating my own car in Blender: But I stayed committed, learning from tutorials and whatever I could get my hands on. Floating from tutorial to tutorial, finishing some and abandoning others. My learning style was the very definition of “playing it by ear”. In fact, if you check my post history on you can see what a true burden I was to the community: I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. My first week with Blender could best be described as embarrassing. I remember making a commitment right then and there that I was going to learn how to use this software “Blender” until I could make my own car.

I went to a few sites before stumbling upon , and saw this render: So I went online and searched for “free 3d software”. I thought how cool it would be if I could create my own car in 3d.

One night in 2004 I was playing Need For Speed II, and admiring the beauty of the 3d cars.

The goal of this site is to help you understand Blender, and create amazing results you can be proud of. I started using Blender in 2004, as a hobby but now use it everyday, creating explosions, space ships and other cool stuff as my day job 🙂
