Two years later and he's still giving comments hearts. Respect.

You've stated multiple times that you will post more if there is a demand - consider this a "yes" vote.

[josiahcochran]

everyone keeps talking about getting a heart but let's take a moment to appreciate this guy's heart. He still has the positive vibes all this time later.

[bakachaan]

I really like how you repeated a lot of the shortcuts or where you can find the tools since this is all new. After hearing it a few times it really does help. So, thank you.

[jma]

I still have a bit of trouble of applying this knowledge into actually modeling something i want to make. It feels like i always need a tutorial.

[asura]

bruh your hella determined on giving hearts. you have my respect

[maximthefox]

one of the reasons this tutorial is so good is not just it's conciseness, but also your emphasis on using the keyboard shortcuts. It really does make the workflow much easier and enjoyable. Thanks!

14:48 in the updated blender it is ALT+Left click!!

[obsidianflight]

I about freaked out when i finally was able to make






my first hollow box

[danblair]

As a complete beginner, I believe this tutorial is one of the best and most important tutorials for Blender on YouTube (tried watching a few). It has really helped me grasp some fundamental aspects to modelling.

And you don't know how excited I was just hollowing out the box for the first time. :D

6:09 for anyone who is in the newest version and since there is no transformation manipulator button, you could select those two faces, scale and hit Y to scale on that axis.

Surfaced studio: doesn't delete base cube

Base cube: **surprised pikachu face**

[joelsalter]

You made this so simple for someone just starting like me. You didn't rush through anything and you told us how to do things with the shortcuts and without them. Thank you for this!

[BubblegumCrash]

Thankyou for your videos. I just got back into 3D modeling. The last time I had done this I was using 3D studio 3 hahaha. Your videos are literally saving me time and money. Otherwise I would have to take a course at school.

[notmynormalusername]

Would love to have this re-done for the current UI in blender.

[GeekInJeep]

I really enjoyed this and you may be my favorite Blender teacher on YouTube thus far. Many people are knowledgeable, but they aren't as effective at teaching, sometimes to the point that it feels more like they are showcasing what they know instead of helping others to learn.


You have great Blender skills AND great teaching ability. Thank you.

[rebelscum]

I love how you continued to say the short cuts. It helped me remember them faster.

[suryanshbagri]

I'd really be impressed if he still gives hearts after 3 years!

[xAmazonxValkyriex]

This is a really great tutorial for starting out! I'm very happy with the fact that you constantly reiterated the shortcut keys for doing the different techniques, because I myself learn well with constant reiteration lol. Super informative!

I'm really new to blender (Just downloaded it yesterday) and I just saw this video on how to model for beginners when I searched it up. This tutorial is really useful! Thank you so much!
