How to get started in 3D modeling?

Question

3D

My question will be simple for already experienced people.
I am quite a newbie in this direction. And I'm interested in two questions: where to start learning (what program)? And is it worth buying courses on any eminent platforms? Or in principle, up to a certain point, you can figure everything out yourself?

Answer 1

And is it worth buying courses on any eminent platforms?

No.
If you don’t know how to read, then you can google a lot of good video instructions from professionals on the same YouTube.
If you know how to read, then download any popular book on 3D modeling and read it.

Answer 2

I am quite a newbie in this direction.

It is good when a person soberly assesses the level of his preparation.

I am interested in two questions:

Why so little?

where to start learning

From the beginning, of course.

from which program

Well, it depends on what you want if you draw then blender
If you draw then Fusion 360

And is it worth buying courses on any eminent platforms?

Definitely not. Courses are nothing more than one of the many ways to "honestly take money from the population"
There is more than enough information on the Internet

Or in principle, up to a certain point, you can figure everything out yourself?

Until the moment when you want to start something global, for example, some cool game or some awesome sports car
