omfg, its horrible!

well, a very talented deviant who does 3D rendering inspired me to try and make one as well, so I downloaded Blender and everything...... well, to my discovery, the best I can make is well.... NOTHING, NOTHING BUT A FUCKING DEFAULT CUBE XD. So upon about an hour of just trying to find a way to get a damn picture on the screen that I can use as a reference, come to find out, I have NO fucking idea how to get this weird toob/cylinder shape with rounded ends (cant describe DX) so then I searched around and found NO information.... Also, on closer inspection. I found out that 3-D renders take hours, upon hours.... upon hours.... Like WTF, I know its my first time but I have never been this confused since I began on InkScape, which also doesn't exist on my computer due to me not fucking understanding it... Oh, and on top of all that, the thing I'm working to takes years to master..... if anyone, anyone could help me, that would be so damn amazing.... ugh...
