What is Blender?

2 Mins read

Imagine a world, where everything is possible – and YOU are the creator. It’s your world, you decide!

Blender: The magic tool to visualize your dreams

Blender is this unbelievable tool that makes exactly that possible: Build your own worlds, create characters, let them come to life and make your own animations and incredible artworks out of nothing! Imagine a 3-dimensional sandbox inside your computer and you’re the child playing. Like in a real sandbox, everything is possible, as long as you can come up with ideas from your imagination and as long as you have the necessary tools like your bucket to build castles. It’s the same technology called CGI (Computer Generated Images), which is also used by Disney and Pixar to create their movies and even by big studios to create their visual effects for eg. Star Wars, Marvel and Game of Thrones!!

Just to make sure you got the hang of what I’m talking about, I searched some pictures for you, which were ALL made within Blender. Let’s have a look:

See – with Blender, everything is possible. You can even visualize your wildest dreams and sell them as crypto art. But there’s this one thing, which holds most people back from stepping into this incredible new world…

The “Why is Blender so hard?” Problem

Most people won’t even try learning Blender, because just looking at it’s interface can be intimidating (I’m talking scarier than being stuck heads down on a rollercoaster at night and no ones left in the park and you hear some weird noises and scream but the train won’t move and you’re not able to open the belt and the noises come closer and…). Ok you got it xD

So what’s the thing? See: Blender is an awesome program and with it’s power you can create all those wonderful pieces of art from above. There’s just this saying that Blender is too hard to learn and it won’t make any sense to even try it, because it’s that complicated…

I’m using Blender myself now for over 4 years and I’m here to break that myth!

There are no limitations in Blender, just your fantasy (and your PC). There’s nothing you can’t create!

Crazy, isn’t it?

Everyone can learn Blender

I started from nothing. Really NOTHING. I was still in High school and, maybe just like you, never heard of this wild thing called “Blender” before. But I decided to give it a try. And here I am! Creating a website for you, to get started the easy way!

What I’m about to say is: With proper instructions and some easy tutorials, you will soon be able to make your first picture in NO TIME. I will give you the buckets to build your castles and show you how to use them. And if that’s still not enough, here comes the best thing: It’s FREE – you heard me right: Blender is completely FREE.

So why don’t you have a look at our next article on how to get started with your first project? See you there!

Bye bye

Btw: Links to the artworks are in the comment section 🙂
