I am using Blender 4.1. Shortcuts have been changed except for general Knife Key "K".

New Shortcuts are listed below:

Multiple Cuts:
"E" Changed to "Left Mouse Button"

Center Point Selection:
"Ctrl" Changed to "Shift"

Angle Constraint:
"C" Changed to "A"
(or for more precise angle use "S")

Selecting Cut through:
"Z" Changed to "C"

Note⚠: If you like to add more info, related to shortcuts, please reply to this thread so that others can get benefit from this.

This is a great series on the basics of Blender. Never knew so much about the Knife and Bisect tools ( and I have been a Blender hobbyist for 3 years. I'm a subscriber and thumbs-upper.

Quick comment: in version 3.0 the "new cut" is done with RMB instead of "e" (also shown accordingly in the bottom information bar when using the keyboard shortcut). In fact there are some other changes as well, e.g. the midpoint snap and ignore snap have been swapped around, so look carefully.

Only tutorial Intros worth watching! Tks...

[KyawKyaw-YGN]

I learned a lot from this video, thank you very much.

[CorvusNumber]

Excellent video! Very handy! Thanks for uploading.

[cachetf]

is one of the best tutorial I have saw

I need to start practicing more with this tool. I think it could be a great solution for creating loops for the face.

Thanks for taking the effort of making these videos and sharing Your knowledge.
Best regard
[P.S. The "Bisect tool" only operates on selected edges, at least in the version I'm in using presently (V.3.4.1)]

[micahzetrovamoseley]

I'm learning so much from your tutorials, one of the best I've found here on YouTube and I'm so fortunate to have come across your channel, do you have videos related to motion graphics or basic 2d animations? I'm trying to learn as much as I can about that part of blender

Joking aside, thanks for the tutorial. I hated the UI change and thought I'd left Blender for good. Turns out it is not that hard to get used with new UI Really appreciate the lessons! Thank you very much!

[robestey]

Great tutorial. Thank you so much. Love your channel

[FlorianMickler]

Thank you a lot sir! Cool introduction. Helps me a lot.

Could you put the keyboard-shortcut changes mentioned in the comments either in a pinned top comment or in the video description?
had to stop your video and look through the comments to find the new keyboard shortcuts.

[EpicGamer]

Thank you very much for your great tutorials 🙂

I am very much enjoying your videos. Your information is clear and easy to follow and quite organised. So many folks are teaching by creating models or scenes which really only shows the tool being used to get the end result. Those videos really do not explain the tools used or their different settings as well as your videos. Have you considered creating a course in Udemy that contains this information and adding a section for practical application and creation in an online classroom setting? Lecture first, assignment second. I would love to be able to interact in a class where we can have a Q&A.

[kayamiller]

Just what I needed to understand! You got a new sub

[bromoboy]

Hello mr. Colin, i really appreciate your amazing tutorials, they have always been clear and easy to follow, but can i suggest you to upload series tutorials about Android studio, and how to make an android application with Kotlin or Java. I will definitely share your channel and videos to all of my numerous friend if u willing to do that, once more, thanks a lot for your hard work. God bless.

[piesdescalzos]

HEY! Thanks for you videos! Let me suggest something. When going through the menus and options could you make very quick demonstrations of each one? For example in the "cutting a mesh in two part" I would like to know what the "axis threshold" is for, even if no commentary is added.

Angle Constraint 08:07 has been changed to "A" in recent versions (I use 3.4.1)
