Damn, this looks nice! Especially the procedural stuff.

I did use Blender roughly 10 years ago for school projects, and I would like to get back, anybody has a good tutorial lying around? :)

View on HN

I got into it by watching Imphenzia's 10 minute modelling videos (https://www.youtube.com/c/Imphenzia). It's low poly, if that's your style, but "extrude, scale, indent" is pretty powerful as far as low poly modelling goes.

Extrude/scale/indent reminds me of my university days, so this looks great :)

I watch his 10 minute model videos every week. It is cathartic. I don't even follow his examples, I just watch.

I've started with

Learn basic interface

Vertex, Edge, and Face Basic editing. (Make the following without looking up tutorials) Brick, Cup, Rubiks Cube, Wooden Furniture (Stool, Wardrobe, Bed, etc)

Learn Basic Material

Get Familiar with Curves

Low Poly Create a simple Torch

Animate lit Torch

Highly recommend Ian Hubert! His tutorials are short but if your a bit technical and don't mind pausing to Google you can get pretty far pretty fast.

Default cube, ducky 3d? There are a bunch of good ones on YouTube.

Look up blender donut on YouTube. Amazingly well done.

I highly recommend this tutorial series. It is paid, but has great content and pacing and walks you through a lot of the stuff you need to be productive in Blender, but it's not free: https://polygonrunway.com/

Before that I went through https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmqEP2-UvAY which was also quite good.
