Nearly-new modder here, help getting started?

[Souper]

I'm not absolutely new to modding, but i still have some very large issues with modding it. First off, i have no idea what i'll need.

 

Questions:

How to blender?

How to texture?

How to program because i have no experience beyond tinkering with part descriptions?

 

Things i can use:

Blender

Pixlr for textures (plan on making a cartoony mod)

Typing stuff into part descriptions

 

 

TL:DR, how to mod?

I highly recommend using this page to your advantage. By browsing through that page in combination with simply looking up tutorials for what you want to learn, you'll learn a whole lot. I only started 3D modeling and modding back in late June of 2015, and in one month I went from knowing nothing to being able to make things like this for KSP.

Learning Blender doesn't take long. If there is something you don't know how to do, just use Google and YouTube, and I promise you you'll know how to do it within a short amount of time. I recommend starting off by making simple models like fuel tanks and SRBs. Then once you are comfortable making these and getting them to work in-game, then you can move on to more complicated things.
