I've been doing 3D for years and I've taught hundreds of beginners. Almost everyone makes the same three mistakes in their first month.

1. Starting with a complex project

You don't learn guitar by playing Stairway to Heaven. Start with a donut, then a room, then a character. The progression matters.

2. Ignoring lighting completely

Your model can be perfect and still look terrible. 80% of a good render is lighting. Learn 3-point lighting before you learn sculpting.

3. Never finishing anything

The graveyard of abandoned Blender files is massive. Finish ugly projects. A completed bad render teaches you more than 10 abandoned "perfect" ones.

I built a full beginner course covering Blender and Cinema 4D that's designed to avoid all of this. Structured from absolute zero to portfolio-ready renders.
