Maybe in the future some new edition of books will be available to guide you through another learning process (notice on Amazon that a new release of Blender for Dummies is scheduled for release in December)? For me personally this is really frustrating, it’s like taking two steps backward for every step forward. The 2.8 version has me totally confused and unable to do anything, Everything learned and practiced in previous versions does not work anymore. I am beginning to believe that I am too slow in learning for this program or simply not cut out for this type of graphic arts program. I have tried to relate past learning experience from the 2.6 and 2.7 series to this latest 2.8 (recently tried the stable release). Recently 2.8 beta came out and I figured on looking into this version to discover some really big changes. I have come to like the last 2.7 series version since years of practice have lead to some use of this program. Have read over the animation parts yet only tried motion with some simple objects, no human figures. Have many files of finished objects rendered over the years of practice, almost all are of no high degree of quality. My interest is more in line with still renders using Blender since I am more into graphic arts painting and drawing. I have figured out a lot of features in Blender through practice trial and error sometimes spending many hours figuring out some isolated effect on a finished render. I have spent many years practicing modeling, surfacing, texture, lighting, sculpting and other areas with very slow progress. I have used the 2.6 and 2.7 versions again with two more books: (1) Blender for Dummies (3rd Edition) and Blender Foundations “The Essential Guide to Learning Blender 2.6” (have purchased all three books in local retail stores).
Being a beginner the transition was frustrating since I had never really done much with the 2.48a version except learn some very basics. After a short couple years time using this older interface version the 2.6 versions started with an updated interface. Started with Blender for Dummies (2005) about 8 years ago using Blender version 2.48a that was on a disc included with the book. I’ve played around with Blender over the past 8 years when time permits using a few books as a guide.
