The new ways of Blender

Blender updates and features are changed or added pretty often. Not only that, I just find better ways of doing things, so this video will talk about new ways of doing things and ways to stay up-to-date on what is changing.

So, in the stable 4.0 release, the texture node DOES work in the real-time compositor, but you're still limited to the texture panel, there aren't dedicated texture nodes like in the shader editor.

Animating your character struggling to pronounce "Potential" was a nice touch.

[AlejandroArch]

Please show us how you setup your rig and animate your little character persona. It’s incredible.

[cornerstonerailfanimation]

I like how your videos have your animated persona take the stage for you physically when explaining different things in Blender. Great work, Joey. I salute you!

[pheenixani]

I graduated in digital character animation in 2012 and picked up Blender in 2021, without touching any animation software in between. It's videos like yours that have been instrumental in translating that basic animation knowledge from a decade ago into an understanding of how Blender works. As you can imagine, there were whole processes back then that have been replaced with a button click, but there's still so much value to be had in learning and particularly understanding the process, because the more you understand it the more control you have over it. Also one thing that hasnt changed in over a decade is sometimes your software just refuses to do the thing and you have to troubleshoot your way out. That 'outdated' information is suddenly real useful then.

I always said YouTube needs 'version control'. It's essentially like a playlist thread, if someone clicks on the old video they are automatically taken to the latest updated one. If they really want to, they can check out the previous versions in the history thread

0:47 Just this … This alone … THANK

Ok, back to watching the rest of the video

[JaredOwen]

This is a great video! Blender moves so fast its hard to keep up new features😩

[claytonjones]

You have such great content and we appreciate you not giving up and getting frustrated when all of your work becomes outdated by no fault of your own - (I think I would have). Definitely one of the top Blender resources today!

[Purpial]

Seriously you are the best! Over the last few weeks I've gotten into geometry nodes because of your videos and even if they're outdated I've learned so much doing them, making art, and then making better versions of them crystals, wires, rocks, etc. As I learn. Thank you so much Joey!

[zoruasnivy]

I haven't touched Blender much since that old version you showed briefly at the start. You're making me really excited to try picking it up again! Blender has come so, so far! Especially the node types!

[mikehattias]

man THANK YOU this channel has been saving my life with geonodes for years

[SaturnDahlia]

its so good of you to recycle all your cubes, landfills have really been filling up lately and its spilling out into the sea so its nice too see somebody try to make a difference

[littlebacchus]

I have learnt a wealth of stuff from you and even if out of date that's just what happens with Blender being amazing and always evolving. Still love your tutorial style and hope Blender's fast update doesn't put you off sharing more fun and entertaining stuff.

[someuser]

I started out using blender in 2012 and use it pretty much daily and I still learn about stuff I didn't know I could do

[rectangle_]

I appreciate you make this open and it helps to learn from the most updated approach:)

[Middlericc]

It is like the first time a blender video title like this isn't just clickbaiting. I don't even know why I am still watching those anymore. But today I was right to believe. 😎Congratulations! This really was such a dense video!

[tdata]

Blender is insane. HOLY COW I was there at the inception of it, when it was in beta, and now it's one of the best out there and STILL FREE. That's the insane part.

[_-.-_.-__]

your skin modifier character creation videos got me into blender and used to the software, really grateful for those videos

[baronlanteigne]

I love the animated intro in this video! Thanks for all the knowledge that you share so effectively!
