Blender in 30 Days: From Beginner to Anime Inspired Diorama

In this video, I share how I learned Blender in just one month by working on a series of Pokémon-inspired 3D projects—from modeling a Poké Ball to creating a stylized diorama with berries, potions, and more.

Along the way, I learned the basics of hard-surface modeling, procedural textures, stylized shaders and VFX for the first time. More importantly, I learned that watching tutorials isn’t enough—you have to build your own projects to truly improve.

Whether you're a total beginner or someone stuck in the tutorial loop, this video will give you a clear learning path, inspiration to start creating, and proof that you can learn Blender faster than you think—with the right approach.
