3D software in general is difficult to learn. But I agree Blender is a head scratcher when you first dabble into it. That is why I am glad there are so many free resources to learn Blender with. I watch youtube tutorials and Blenderguru tutorials that is why I feel comfortable with the software. I used to visit this site called Blendervideos too bad it is down due to technical difficulties. I learned a lot about blender by watching the tutorials on that site.
