This event is part of the January 2018 Class, "Getting Started with 3D Modeling & Blender".
To kick-off the beginner-oriented Class, we're simply opening Blender and getting comfortable with it. We’ve all been there: Opening Blender (or any 3D package) for the first time, gazing at the crazy UI, trying to orbit in the viewport, crying...Ok, maybe you were stronger than me and didn’t cry. But the reality is 3D software is daunting. There’s SO MUCH to digest especially when you’re a beginner.
This stream coincides with the Blender Basics course. We're going to overview Blender and 3D from an absolutely beginner perspective. What is Blender for? What can it do? Wait, this isn’t a juicing seminar?
We’re also going to open the floor, ask me anything (AMA) style, so I can answer all your questions about getting started with Blender.
crawl before walk before run....

nathangarduno For the most part, yes unless you're using a modifier, rigging tool, or something that didn't exist before.
the dreaded box of blender. :) it was only second install i actually got past the box. :)
I do like that we can have multiple versions of Blender on comp
Can you use new blender files with old versions?
Good idea Matthew
Sometimes it's nice to use an older version with older tutorials so I'm on the same version as the tutor.
Refresh is your friend :)
