Learning Blender After 40 is NOT Impossible! | Freelance UX work and Family in 2024
Hej hej and welcome back!
2024 was a year of growth, challenges, and creativity. In this video, I share my journey of learning Blender in my 40s while balancing freelance UX work and family life.
Here's what I cover:
- How I stayed committed to Blender and completed projects like my first sculpt, an urban decay environment, and a cybercity.
- Insights into balancing freelancing, family responsibilities, and creative pursuits.
- The tools and methods I used to stay organized and finish projects, inspired by my 20+ years as a UX designer.
- The amazing support from my family, my growing UA-cam community, and my live coworking sessions that kept me motivated.
If you’ve ever felt like it’s too late to start something new, this video is for you.
What about you? Did you tackle a big creative challenge this year? Share your story in the comments. I’d love to hear it!

Thank you for your motivation.
Hoi. Wat leuk om jou kanaal tegen te komen. Ben bijna 50. Ook ik leer al een aantal jaar blender op en af, samen met Nomad sculpt. Je werk ziet er goed uit! Happy learning! 😄
Wat superleuk en dankjewel! Jij ook happy learning! ✨
I'm learning at 60, you're just a baby mate lol. It's amazing what you can do now with Blender and a 3D printer.
@@Satronaut-pw3ij Haha! It is indeed amazing. Exciting times!
Approaching 40 here. similar story. long term desire and love to do blender for fun and for series projects. your workflow would be definitely useful.
You can do it! Planning a video about my workflow. 😊
Would love to hear more about your workflow and how you use agile to manage your projects 🙌
Thanks for letting me know!
Wish ya the best, your work is cool.
Thank you so much!
I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm also over 40, a UI/UX Designer and learning Blender! It's great to know I'm not alone :)
No way! That’s awesome! We are not alone ✨
waw thank you for this, I hope you are have an amazing year
Thank you! You too!
Wishing a Happy New Year to your wonderful family! 🎊🎊
Thank you so much Veer! Have a great 2025! 💜

Aw Thank you so much! Happy New Year!
🤗good
yay I was helpful ^^
Yes! Very much so 😊 Thank you so much ✨
good experience
Wow! That conference must have been very informative
@@veer_ai It was amazing! ✨
Awesome! 😎
Thank you so much!
Awesome work
i missed it
Maybe next time! ✨
OMG 😅 You are very good at sculpting.
Thanks so much, I have a lot to learn...
you need to do a timelapse or a speed up a bit as it is too slow and viewers are bored.
Thanks for the tip.
Hej hej, just a little clarification on why this is so slow. 😊 This is a ‘Focus with me Session’. These sessions are ment for coworking together. I have a timer on the top left side of the screen. We have 40 minutes of focus-time where everyone, who likes to join, works on their own tasks and todo lists. After 40 minutes we take a 10 minute interactive break where we talk, grab a fresh coffee and prepare for the next 40 minutes of focus. We’re like virtual coworkers during these sessions. It’s less lonely this way and we have a chance to meet like minded people and get our work done. Usually there are other 3d artists and also game developers joining, while they work om their art and games, while I work on my Blender projects. I host these live Focus With Me coworking sessions every Friday. You’re very welcome to join! ✨
para-bens pelo trabalho.
Agradeço!
Great!
Thanks!
Fantastic🔥🔥
@@krissosful thank you!

@@aliceinblenderland Thanks so much! 💜

Thank you! 🙏💜
dope process
Thank you so much 🙏💜
is the Level Up book worth reading?
I really enjoyed it. I had to read it for the Game Design course and I think I was funny, valuable and hands on.
@@Fran43CG cool thank you! Im thinking abt getting it
Very cool! The coffee looks a bit to strong for me though :)
@@AnthonyRosbottom 🤣 for me too.. and a bit too thick… I couldn’t get it better though 😆
i am not really bound by view counts
And most importantly the thumbnail
You're so underrated, maybe try improve editing
Super-Cool design.
Thank you so much!
Respect. Every one have thier first time. Me too
❤🔥
So in my experience (and maybe it has nothing to do with your problem) whenever I have that issue where armatures or modifiers break my objects its almost always the transforms, scale being the biggest offender. for some reason blender does not like it when the scale of the object is not 1.00 and it causes weird behavior. I know that it was one of your steps to apply transforms but did you try just applying the transforms and then checking the objects? also make sure the armature itself has a scale of 1.00 (apply transforms) as that can mess with this too. In all honesty the method that javidam66 pointed out with the collections is probably more suited for this type of object since it has no moving parts but I'm sure at some point you will be interested in using armatures so it would be a good problem to solve
Hej hej, thank you so much for your comment. Yes, I've tried everything step by step and it didn't work. But the good news is, that I learned an even easier way! Check out my latest video about that, there I use a "Collection Instance" to get the job done! I got that tip from one of the viewers. Very cool! Thanks again!
you are so beautiful! Hope to see how you improve your abilities into sculpting :)
Thank you so much!
