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.
Yes I also like it that no need for installation and the size of the program is relatively small, these are itself motivations to run it :)
yay Jonathan arrived :-)
fflowizard No need to uninstall the old version, it'll just make a new version folder with the updates.
When i look at job offers at game studio ; i don't see much offers for blender professionnal, more for 3d studio max or maya. Is Blender not much used by the big studios ?
Maya is 1.3GB ;)
Do you normally keep multiple versions of Blender?
Each time you upgrade, do you have to reset all the customized "User Preferences"?
Thanks guys
Question:What's the procedure with partial 2.x updates? Do you just install with new installer or should you actually remove the previous one?
Yep, you can still download it as a .zip if you ever need to
