My 3 Favorite YouTube Channels For Learning Blender

I love learning about Blender.

But only with the right YouTube channels.

(A lot of tutorials are a waste of time, unfortunately.)

If you are at all interested in learning Blender, here are the 3 YouTube channels that worth your time:

CG Cookie

CG Cookie is an excellent starting point for anyone new to Blender. They recently uploaded a highly detailed, high-quality beginner series that offers a comprehensive introduction to the software. The tutorials are so thorough that there’s no need to pay for a starter course.

From the basics to more advanced techniques, CG Cookie has you covered. You’ll find a variety of content here, from beginner-friendly lessons to more specialized tutorials, making it an ideal place to start.

Polygon Runway

If you’re interested in modeling, Polygon Runway should be at the top of your list. This channel offers a range of content, including long scene breakdown videos that are particularly beneficial for beginners. Polygon Runway also provides shorter tutorials that cover a variety of modeling techniques. Additionally, Josh Gambrell, another fantastic resource on this channel, is known for his hard surface modeling tutorials. You’ll find everything from quick tips to full-fledged modeling tutorials, making it a great channel for mastering both basic and advanced techniques.

CrossMind Studio

CrossMind Studio is perfect for those who are into motion graphics or looking to explore multiple facets of Blender. The channel covers a wide range of topics, from abstract looping animations to character creation and animation. What sets CrossMind Studio apart is the breadth and depth of its content.

They even released a series that takes you through the entire process of creating a character from scratch, including rigging and shading. If you’re passionate about motion graphics or character animation, this is the channel to subscribe to.

These channels will help you build a strong foundation in Blender while offering advanced tutorials for those ready to take their skills to the next level. Happy blending!
