Blender

Blender…is not an easy program to get to know or use.

<aside> 💡 Caveat > I am not an expert. I am new to Blender virtual garment making. I have compiled and consolidated resources and can give a reasonable start for further exploration.

What you need to understand about Blender…

• It can do lots and lots of different things…
  • 3D modeling, Figure Rigging & Animation
  • 2D Grease Pencil animation
  • Procedural Modeling
  • Geometric Nodes
  • etc.
• It is possible to start by learning and use just one of Blender’s capabilities…and ignore all the others
• Blender 3D modeling utilizes Mesh manipulation
• Blender gives meshes unique characteristics via Modifiers
• Blender is computationally intensive…and requires a PC with the capability to process lots and lots of calculations (having a GPU is super helpful)
