Is there a good written tutorial? I can't sit through video tutorials.
- heartbreak 5y agoI went through the donut tutorial on 2x speed. If you’re interested in learning modern visual arts (computer graphics, photography, videography, etc.) you’re going to have to deal with video tutorials. Make them work for you.
- mkr-hn 5y agoThis is a polite version of "suck it up" and about as helpful.
- Miraste 5y agoThere are official written docs (https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/ https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/) but they would be difficult to learn from by themselves. There isn't a more helpful answer because the fact is >99% of Blender content is video.
- mkr-hn 5y agoYes, that's the problem. There needs to be more text/image guides as eddieh said. This used to be the norm. Now everything is a video. Worse, existing text/image guides are allowed to rot or removed outright in favor of video. Not everyone learns well from video.
- heartbreak 5y agoI’m sorry that the free content isn’t in your desired format. I offered a genuine suggestion that helps me use it.
- mkr-hn 5y agoYour genuine suggestion was that they do something they plainly said doesn't work for them. Doing something that doesn't work for them at 2x isn't going to help.
- zeroimpl 5y agoMaybe it will? They didn’t say why they can’t sit through the videos, it might be because they are too slow to get to the point? I don’t really see what value your comment is adding. The parents’ post was reasonable to me.
- mkr-hn 5y agoIt was a patronizing lecture. The followup with more patronizing clarified the non-helpful intent.
- homarp 5y agoOr convert a video one to a written one. The conversion should do the trick for you to learn Blender and the next person will find your written one very useful.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoI would be interested in this answer. It seems the era of good paper-compatible tutorials may be on the way out in terms of popularity of video and monetization.
