do you use it too, how long is the learning curve? until i can start to make characters and scenes, because right now its like reading a foreign language.
Yes, I do use it. Let's see, I started about 8 years ago. But really just threw shit together back then, playing around. And it was on and off.
I have been serious with it for about 4 years now, and been making a game since then. Still don't think I would consider myself exceptional at it, But I get better every day.
Depending on what you want to do with it, and how much of a perfectionist you are. You could probably start putting together stuff you are at least satisfied with in about a month, if you work with it a lot.
Watch as many videos as you can, tutorial stuff. I still do when there is something I want to know how to do. And the more you learn the little tricks, the more you will be able to come up with how to do what you want on your own.
