Today in blender I followed a begging geometry nodes tutorial

I was able to get through it. I did not mess it up. Yay for me.

I still don’t think I will ever be good at blender material or geometry nodes but, hopefully if I keep practicing by making my own projects and trying tutorials one day I will get better.

For that matter I think I will never get good at blender. But, I want to be great at blender. So I will keep trying to get better.

I am reading Learning blender by Oliver Villar

I have read it all the way through once before but, never made a character. The second time I read the book I only made it through 48 pages. And I hope the 3rd times a charm.

I hope to read the book all the way through and make a character in blender this time. I am also practicing all the modeling tools in chapter 6.

I was just trying shift while selecting clicking the vertex, edge, and face select icons on the view port header. Then I pressed the 1,2,3 keys while holding shift and was able to do the same thing.

Its fun to be able to select a vertex, edge, or face and not need to always press 1,2,3.

I have been using blender more lately

Since I am never going to learn how to use blender if I don’t use blender.

I am working on my basketball court model. Making the chain link fence which is fun. I never payed much attention to how chain link fences looked until I started working on the chain link fence in blender.

I also made the basketball court bigger.

And I am also working my way through the cgBoost apple tutorial. I got stuck on the texture painting. For some reason I could got get the texture to paint on the knife and apple models. So I will put some material on them.

It was frustrating not being able to texture paint. But, now I know what I need to learn better.

Today in blender I modeled an apple

and a knife handle. I am following along with a CG boost tutorial on how to model apples that go in a bowl on a table.

I am modeling an apple utility knife instead of the knife in the video. I also want to make the apples Granny Smith. I like green.

Today I used vim

I have know about vim for years but, I have not used it much. I did use it today though to follow along with a python tkinter tutorial, and I also followed along with a vim tutorial.

I learned how to open tabs, use regular expressions, move the cursor to words, ends of words, paragraphs.

I wonder if I will remember what I learned today tomorrow.
