Glad to hear it! Typical of me to delve into too much detail and err on the safe side! Ah well, upgrading is easy-peasy. Mind you getting an older version to load on Linux Mint wasn’t a cake walk. Until I got the right version for my processor architecture - i686
Blender looks to be the right tool to get creative in all sorts of ways. And free! I have a background in Rhino but the price is prohibitive esp as I’m retraining due to chronic illness. And although Blender is free , the stuff that you can produce is truly superb. I hope you have a great time with it!
Me too

Hello everyone,
I am a CAD technician from U.K, (Mechanical engineering bias on Various Autodesk mediums). I really enjoy modelling and want to learn other packages.
My short term goal with Blender is to learn it and start creating animations, My long term goal is to be a rival to Disney/Pixar / Dreamworks. I have absolutely no idea how I am going to achieve this, the main thing is that I have started. 
Have a nice day.

Good morning, everybody!
I’m new to the Blender scene, although I have some past experience with 3D modeling via 3DS Max. It’s been years, though, so I’m essentially starting from scratch! I tend to struggle with depression and a lack of drive, but I’m working to motivate myself through this course so I can take steps towards what I want to do with my life.
What would that be, you might ask?
I have a few paths I might want to take in life, and I haven’t quite settled on one particular yet.
- I want to get into 3D modeling and printing, eventually producing professional-quality product to sell on websites like Shapeways (dice, minatures, jewelry, trinkets, etc).
- I have dreams of making my own video games - but who doesn’t? I’d like to own my own indie company one day, and it would help if I were proficient in a few major design roles.
- I enjoy working on concepts for tabletop games, and I’d love to actually bring some of them into production.
So, here’s to making some of these dreams come true!
Also, here’s a husky!

Just a quick introduction. I am a new student in the Blender course and new to game development and digital design in general. I am hoping I can follow along and get into a groove. I am helping my boyfriend with game development for a game he has interest in developing. I also have ideas for my own art as I am a 2d traditional artist (oil paint, watercolor etc).
Hello, Thaheer here and I actually bought this package a year ago, but completely forgot about it since I had to reset my computer and all the data got lost, but I’m back and restarting this whole thing. I’m just a high school student trying to find something to do. I still don’t know what I want to do as a career, so I’m struggling to figure that out. Maybe this could be it, idk. And I live in the U.S.
What’s popping my guys,
My name is Hector and I live in the good ol lone star state of Texas. i am really looking forward to modeling and creating artwork that I can actually be proud of.
I want to delve into creating my own creative models that I can incorporate into my passion to create indie games. I also consider this a pretty cool hobby or skill to pick up and enjoy and I’m really looking forward to that!
Hello Everyone!
Just getting started in Blender to support my Unity courses. I will be joining the facebook group today as well. Hope to see some of your work so far. I am not the best artist in the world or maybe even in my town. We will see how well I do.
Hi
Thought I’d pick up some skills with 3D modeling to help with my illustration hobby for backgrounds and machinery.
Hi everyone!
I joined the course because I would like to learn the finer points of Blender so that I can take my videos to a higher level and so that I can be more helpful to my team on the independent game we are working on. But, more importantly, I want to learn skills that I can use for future endeavors as well!
Thank you Mike! An old school visual artist, I am eager to see what you can create digitally! -Jan

Hello Everyone! I’m here to learn Blender so I can develop my skills here and apply them to a video game idea that I’m currently building. I am a application developer and am curious about exploring new opportunities.

Hi all, my name is Geraint. I’m 39 yrs old and just trying to learn 3D modelling and texturing so that I can make some weapons for one of my favourite games - the Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim!
Hello everybody!
I’m 21 years old from Arizona and my name is Bagel. I first worked with Blender in my high school multimedia class where I got the briefest of introductions. I’m really looking forward to seeing myself improve and making friends along the way!
Let’s all do our best!

Hi everyone.
My name is Tyler. I’m an American living in China. I’ve used Blender a bit, but I’m taking this course to help gain a more in-depth knowledge of how to use it more effectively. I’m interested in making animations and games. I also want to meet some people and maybe make some kind of a dev team, because teams are the best.
