     Yep! Blender is as powerful, if not more powerful (because it’s opensource) then any other commercial 3D software.

   Um… yes, these are great tutorials, but for someone that scoured the web looking for the best blender tutorials out there I have just one question.

   Why are the majority of these from the same 5 sites?

   It could be that that’s really all there is out there, and perhaps I’m being too pedantic, but it seems a little odd to me.

     Simply because the tutorials from these sites are much higher quality then most!

     We originally had many more, but decided to cut it down to what we feel is the best of the best. If we had kept them all, we would have had about 75 tuts on the list, but the quality would have been much more varied.

     Cheers!

       Could you make the other 30 available through the comment then ? that way it won’t effect the “quality” of the the main post

     I’m sorry to say this, but these are indeed the best sites out there for blender. I am new to 3d and have been collecting modelling tutorials and the like for a month now. The truth is, there a few single posts on peoples pages that are good, but for sites that focus on tutorials and not personal exploration, these sites are the best.

     I am starting with 3dsmax as the tutorials on this site by Chris and his brother are exceptional. I am dipping my toes into blender as the tutorials on the sites mentioned are also on a par with the ones here.

   Also worth looking at BlenderNerd.Com. Some of his tuts cover similar processes but quicker tuts perhaps with slight (but acceptable) quality trade-off. It’s about what you learn during the process that counts.

     Blender Nerd is a slippery slope. So much errors or plain wrong stuff in some tuts that you will end up with epic facepalms. It’s more like a site of some guys learning Blender who share their path – with all the misconception one comes up when still learning.

    you realise you just took tutorials from 4 websites right? 4 that everyone knows? the purpose of posts like these is to show people stuff they havent seen before.
    we’ll at least we have all now seen the biggest fool in the world.
    was there even a point to making this “article”?
    you’re such a noob and you dont even know it

      Hey Muhamed,

      Thanks very much for your useful observations! Reading your comment was the best laugh I’ve had in a while, so thanks again!

      The point of this roundup was simply to point our Blender users to some excellent, helpful tutorials, and that’s it.

      We chose tuts from those sites for a reason… they offer great content. But clearly with your extensive knowledge you’ve immediately recognized my “Noobness” and outed me on the site! So for any future roundups I put together, I’ll be sure to check with you before publishing it, and maybe you can let me know if “everyone’s” already seen the content or not… because as editor of Cgtuts, I wouldn’t want to look stupid or anything!

      kthxbai!

        @ ben

        Dont sweat it, Some people dont realise that just becasue they know of the sites that many others dont
        beside though i have heard of most of the sites, there was one i had not heard of and another I havent visited in a while.
        What I mean to say is it a good post that brings people uptodate with these great sites and introduces many new user to this great resources also

        Its appreciated, your efforts, and I thank you as i’m others have and will .

        Keep up the good post like this

    Good Stuff. Do you recommend directly diving into these as a beginner or are there any other resources you suggest to go through first? Thanks for sharing.

    Awesome list indeed.

    I’m a newbie, tried my hand at some large Wiki based tutorial quite some years ago (before these tutorial sites started popping up), only to come to much frustration to see people either deliberately causing errors to the online tutorial, or just not really knowing what they’re doing with the software (some methods were arse backwards, and found myself skipping sections to get what the last guy lost completely). So after a month or two of fiddling around and getting nowhere (and seriously tempted to update the Wiki in question – you know how much time that would take to fix other peoples mistakes (I wound up wasting about 500 sheets of paper, because the offline copy was supposed to be safe… Nope! Then: it was actually a Blender approved source for information at the time. I don’t think they realized how many errors there were in it) … anyway just lost interest and stopped at that point.

    That being said, I’ve recently started finding sites like this and others which give good tutorials… there was one site which offered tutorials on a 200GB hard drive (had lots of tutorials from beginner, intermediate, and advanced) but I never got around to it, nor can I find it around anymore – does anyone offer a service like that anymore? It would be great to find printable/downloadable tutorials, an error or two is fine – just not to the extent of something like what happened above.
