I tried it once... it takes a ton of system resources though. You've got to have a decent medium-end computer for it to run smoothly, it seems like. I also thought it was too confusing, and hardly worth it.
I would read some of the tutorials above, or stick with GIMP or photoshop. -------------------- Q6600, 4GB g-skill, 8800GT, P5N-D motherboard ![]() My art |

Try the Noob to Pro tutorial. It will get you started.
If a dummy like me can do it, anyone can. http://www.blender.org/education-help/tutorials/ http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro Also check out Blenderartists site for tutorials. http://blenderartists.org/cms/content/view/17/53/ There's a ton of tutorials out there once you get the basics. http://www.blender.org/ |
