145. Learn Blender - part 1 - Intro and info (you might not know) and downloading

I am VERY excited to introduce my new video series about learning Blender (the free 3D creation suite). These videos are intended for absolute beginners. If you are interested in learning to draw and /or animate in 3D using a free (zero dollars forever!), very powerful program, then I hope you will enjoy my series: Learn Blender (with me)..
Learn Blender playlist: • Learn Blender
This playlist contains all of my Blender tutorial videos.
In this Introduction video, I explain how I came to get very excited about learning Blender. I also talk about other drawing programs that I have used (on my channel) and have been very successful with (LibreCAD and SketchUP). By the end of this video, you'll understand how I got to where I am and WHY I want to learn Blender (and what I want to be able to do with it).
It is important for me to know the WHY. Knowing why I'm doing something (like learning Blender) gives me a goal and helps to keep me on the right track toward achieving that goal.
My immediate goal to get "good enough" with Blender so that I can visualize my ideas in 3D which then might inspire me to make something. (I tend to build things out of wood or cardboard; skim through the list of videos on my channel to find examples.)
Please feel free to leave any questions or comments for any of my videos. I read every single one and do my best to reply.
In the video, I mention that I have used LibreCAD and SketchUP. Here are the links to my playlists for each program.

Hi Matt. I'm a 72 year old male living in Australia. I have no experience with either 2D or 3D CAD. I am the Secretary of a gated community. We lost the official site survey plans for each of our 52 homes. But, some years ago I photographed each site plan. The photos are blurry and distorted BUT they have dimensions and angles written on the plan. So I did some research online and stumbled upon LibreCAD. I found a lot of UA-cam tutorials on LibreCAD but yours are by far the ones I find most easy to follow. Well done. Thank you. Keep up the great work. I did the intro to Blender tutorial because that nay be my future passion ... to create 3D drawings. Once I am adept at 2D.
Best regards

Thanks for your comment and for watching David. I tried hard to make the LibreCAD videos as easy to follow and learn from as I could. I'm glad to hear your liked them. Enjoy using LibreCAD and making your drawings. If you have any questions, just leave another comment on any of my LibreCAD videos. I check for new comments every few days and I reply to 99.999% of them.
Yes, Blender is an amazing program with which someone can do a lot with. I have only scratched the surface in my Blender videos.
