Learning Through Trial, Error, and Failure

(Nov. 11, 2025)

It’s really uncommon to have a tutorial work on the first attempt. The differences in the version of the software, the performance of the computer, and project settings meant that I had troubleshoot all the time. Most of my most productive learning experiences were not through watching videos, but correcting broken scenes, broken simulations and wrong lighting. Unknowingly, I was participating in a new way of learning by experimenting and not just direct teaching. YouTube does not remove difficulty, it simply just transfers the learning to a more self directed and problem-solving learning environment.
