This is just going to be a quick lecture showing you how to download and install blender onto whatever
device you're using, so that we can get started on learning blender in the next lecture.
So if you want to go over to Google or whatever browser you use on your laptop or computer or whatever
device you're using, um, and if you just search up blender or lowercase.org and search up that platform,
shirt up, search up that website, you should see something like this on my screen here.
Um, this is what accounting looks like as of the time I'm recording it.
The newest version is the 3.6 long term support, but obviously that will vary and change depending
on what time or how far in the future you are viewing this.
So you just you just want you all just want to go wanting to go ahead and click the download button.
And you can then select what, um, what version you're wanting.
Now, the Mac OS, Mac OS version will be for MacBooks and other Mac devices.
There's also other windows, Linux, and steam devices as well, so plenty of devices that you can download
this onto.
Okay.
Um, go ahead and click the download button for your relevant device.
And the downloading sequence will will be, will be varied based on what device you're downloading it
on.
But um, once you've downloaded it, if you just open it up, it will look something like this.
Here.
You might have to do some other things before you get to this view here.
But this menu here is called the splash screen.
And this screen will show every time you open up blender.
So it's kind of like the home page of blender.
So now that you know how to install and you've hopefully got blender or set up on your device in the
next lecture, we're going to have a look at basic controls and um, where everything is located in
blender.
