I have a ok laptop but its not the greatest, i want to have something such as a creative outlet that i can do in a simple manner? Ive thought about many of things but im unsure if i should try them? Im stuck inside alot and im bored alot aswell. I just want something to do other than light gaming and watching youtube.
What would you advise and why so?
Thirded. If you eventually get a 3D printer, too, that can be a good time sink - as long as you are happy to spend time tweaking and fiddling with things to keep it working.
That way, your 3D blender designs can come to the real world.
I need to learn blender. I got into 3D printers and learnt FreeCAD for parts. It’s very good and easy to use but it lacks complex modelling and I think it runs on one thread only.
Even the pro systems have single threaded portions for modelling. Multi thread, multi processor is only taken advantage of in a few areas, and even then the performance improvement is not drastically different in most tasks
As long as you don’t need CAD levels of precision, Blender is fine. I still need to use FreeCAD when making enclosures and assemblies but Blender works well if it’s more of a decorative piece. I think they are making an actual CAD mode soon so this might be outdated!
