Blender

Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and, formerly, video games.

Start by making a mushroom, or the planet Earth (time:short), create an animated donut (time:medium) or jump right into the deep end building your way up to an animated airplane (time:long)

Please note that building towards an animated airplane is a significant 3D modelling project. Although the amount of videos appears to be less than the making a donut tutorial the lengths of the videos for making an animated airplane are significantly longer. Remember, regardless of where you get in either series, whether you even complete your airplane or your donut or not... you will learn a ton along the way.
