I had to humble myself and search for the basics basics. I didn't know what the heck I was doing. Lol! Thank you very much for this video! Everyone should first know these basics before anything

[samdavepollard]

to anybody wondering whether to start with this or the doughnut guy, absolutely start with THIS would be my advice (and i've watched both)
superb series
super impressive how many blender tools and features this guy covers in 11 parts, all organised, with crystal clear instructions and explanations
sure, make doughnuts later on, if you really have to, but THIS is the place to start

[Bromato]

Wow, 3 min in and I guarantee you've improved my life quality with your eye strain tip. Thanks!

[ZapProd]

This is what everyone should watch first! I wish there were more of these videos when I got started! Your stuff is awesome!

This is exactly what I needed! I appreciate that you walk us through the basics instead of jumping right into creating hyper-realistic things :D

OMG I am a 2D artist/ Illustrator who wants to use blender as a base for environments (especially for different angles) and was looking for a tutorial. Saw your channel from the top 10 tutorials and glad I chose this. I learned so much already. Can't wait to see what I will do with this software 1-2 years from now.
Thank you so so much <3

[idea]

man this is so useful, I was watching my first ever sculpting tutorial and I almost instantly realized that I had to go back to the basics first. Instant follow, you explain everything so well ;D

Best beginner tutorial on Blender I have taken. I have tried to learn Blender on numerous occasions over the years. However, I never found any of the tutorials as easy to follow as this one from Ryan has been. However, as a senior software engineer, I noticed that he makes the same mistake as all other instructors have done. This is where he dives right into the short-cut keys instead of concentrating on the menu system, which is the inherent part of the interface. Most people will not pick up the short-cut keys in a single setting and most will find the menu system far easier to work with initially than trying to remember what keys do what. As a result, I have always found that trying to discuss all of the prominent shortcut-keys in such a video does more to muddy the waters and add confusion than anything else. It would be better to concentrate on the menu system with a much shorter introduction to the shortcut-keys while providing a downloadable PDF that can be printed out which contains all of the shortcut-key options. Then if the user prefers, her or she can experiment with the shortcut-keys on their own...

Great job, mate! I am a true beginner and for me your pace and consequent step-by-step approach in explaining the ui and basic keybindings is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for that!

[magazineurbanlife]

This is the best tutorial on blender i've ever watched

[creepermods]

I came back here to finish up some of the thing that i have forgotten since i started blender during 2022 and then i came back 2 years later and now i forgot everything, and thanks for this channel for making a great tutorial blender video!

[isthataspider]

Thank you so much for making this series. You’re awesome! I’m just beginning to sculpt and this is super helpful

[Fyrespitter]

I live my life by shortcut keys, and I really appreciate your tutorial into Blender demonstrates how to effectively use the shortcut keys right off the bat. Thank you sir!

[boboboo]

finally I found a really basic tutorial, actually I used other 3d software before, and for some reason now I have to use blender, thanks for the tutorial

[rpreviato]

Wow, that is an amazing tutorial série.
I started learning Blender just for fun and hobby.
I already did an introductory course, but I want to continue and advance more. I will certainly support you on Patreon. Amazing work.

Thank you.

[TheeGeminiQueen]

Very informative and definitely beginner friendly as stated! Thank you so much (:

[syaninikol]

Thank you very much! This is by far the best tutorial i've ever encounter. Sometimes I can't cope up with some tutorials. I love how you repeat everything and suggests a better way.

[ChevyBlendz]

Listen! I don't really ever write reviews nor do I stay through 20 min+ videos. But sir this video was amazing, It was informative, comprehensive and on point. I can't say enough positive things about this video and I will be watching the rest of the series. Thank you for the help. Im not sure if later in the series I will see a bigger list of most common navigation keys but I did see another comment for the ones used in this video. Again THANK

[cknight]

Going through your course as I needed a refresher. This is PERFECT! And I learned some new things :)
