Good luck. Remember, I'm pulling for ya. We're all in this together!

Let's all say the prayer: I am a man; I can change if I have to, I guess.

You're probably going to jump back and forth for a little while, but more and more, you'll stay in Blender.

Everyone is different but when I jumped back and forth it ultimately left me in a state of limbo. It was not until I cut the apron strings and just struggled on with Blender till the muscle memory faded for the old and built up with the new. I had the same issue transitioning from Photoshop to GIMP, or any other software that I had become accustomed to in the past and then had to change.

The saving grace is because I already knew ‘what’ I wanted to to it was just a matter of doing a google search on ‘how do I ‘x’ in Blender’ would often find the result.

During this transition stage I was so unproductive, that I changed from railway rolling stock and worked on a castle and a boat for a couple of weeks to ease the frustration.

I also created a text document where I type in the shortcut keys that I learn or find handy to later on. There are sometimes different ways to achieve the same objective, so writing down what works for me in my own words makes it easier to recall later.

I was constantly referencing this document initailly, but less so over time as the muscle memory kicked in. I still update and refer to this text file for new commands, or to recall the several steps required to make a coil spring, a chain, a steam dome with flaired base, etc, to save me having to watch another youtube video on perform something I have done before.

Hope this helps in some way.

Cheers,

Marek.

This is also how my Blender Content Creation Notebook got started.
