Blender for Scientists - Complete Intro to 3D

Welcome to the beginner tutorial dedicated to scientists and engineers looking to pick up Blender. If you've never so much as touched the software before this tutorial will teach you many of the essential basics, tips and tricks condensed down from hundreds of tutorials as well as basic considerations for working in 3D as both an artist and a scientist. I sincerely hope this tutorial will be useful to anyone starting out. There are many other excellent resources for learning Blender, but for working scientists I've done my best to make this a solid foundation.
