Its not hard to learn if you have a good teacher ... I actually volunteer teach grade 6 7 and 8 blender, they love it and even show up an hour before school starts to learn it!
I have a 7 year old son and I tought him how to do all this starting with a pice of paper and a marker, he did all the tracing in blender. ... he made a tinny little plastic throwing star for his lego nigaga guys!
He had a blast an was amazed that he really made it him self!!! I think that was the day he started thinking the peachy printer was actualy cool lol.
You shuld have see the look on his face as he watched me pull what he drew and traced in blender out of the printer! Priceless. Of course evan tho it didnt need any furter cureing he had to try out my uv currer too! IMG_2432.jpg
