Blender 3D is one of the best and most powerful pieces of software out there today that is accessible to animators, artists, designers, and all of these at no cost! It can do the modelling of your characters, sculpt them, animate them, do the visual effects and can even do the editing as well. To begin to learn how this all works would be a truly overwhelming experience. There are dozens of panels, hundreds of keyboard shortcuts, and the whole workflow has to be grasped, which is a relatively difficult thing to learn. But thousands of people worldwide have used Blender 3D to learn about 3D modeling and animation with no lessons or background knowledge of the principles and theory behind artistic animation.
This is where Blender really comes into its own and where the community surrounding Blender is the greatest advantage you will get from it. From free tutorials and beginner Blender courses to open source Blender project files and Blender forums, you will be able to find solutions to almost any problem within minutes of seeking out help. The software is also updated periodically, making it that one little bit easier with each new version to accomplish whatever task you are trying to achieve in Blender, no matter whether you are trying to produce some game assets, short animated movies, Architectural visualisations, or even product renders. Blender 3D is capable of it.
Understanding the Blender Interface Before Anything Else
When the very first person opens Blender, the default scene is already populated with a cube, a light, and a camera. There is a reason for this; these three objects compose the foundation of nearly every 3D scene possible: a subject, something to illuminate it with light, and a device to take the final picture.
Important interface sections to become acquainted with first include:

● The 3D Viewport is the center working region where the user creates and manipulates objects. This section accounts for most of the actual modeling, shaping, and animating work done in Blender.
● The Outliner, top-right, contains a list of everything present in the scene and organizes them hierarchically.
● The Properties Panel, right-hand portion of the screen, contains options, settings, and adjustments to any object in the scene, including their material, light source, animation settings, or physics.
● The Timeline; bottom of the screen, is used solely for animating object actions.
● The Header: the region above the 3D viewport, which changes from editor to editor and lists options/menus related to the active work environment.
Spending time in the first few sessions simply observing the interface (not actually modeling or animating anything) is time well spent. Knowing what each part does will make later instructions far easier to grasp.
