I know it sounds crazy, but this is an important truth every beginner should understand. Instead of focusing on Blender modeling, learn topology. Instead of studying Blender lighting, master the fundamentals of 3D lighting. Instead of diving into Blender materials, understand PBR principles and apply them later in Blender. If you dont take this approach, youll be stuck in tutorial hell indefinitely, and your progress will be painfully slow. submitted by /u/Nightcomer [link] [comments]
