Hi all, I'm looking into some of the various 3d programs, and I admit I do not want to spend money on anything if I don't have to. ;) I've heard good things about Blender, and downloaded it, but I'm pretty stymied as to what does what. Luckily I did find the online tuts, etc (how nice to have them accessible from within the program!) but haven't really taken the time yet to go through them. Mainly because I'm not sure how much time is involved. How steep would you describe the learning curve? For a total noobie with 3d modeling. I'm not looking to become a guru overnight, just to reach a level of comfort with the program, pretty much knowing what to do when, and where to find all the buttons to get me there. Should I start with something simpler and work my way up to Blender? Or do you feel the tuts and such online are sufficient to get me into the program and using it with at least basic skill levels?
