That was very helpful and easy to understand! Thank you for the tips!

[brighttendaimuvirimi]

Wooow, I'm blown away, thank you

[dartstudio]

A++ content about learning Blender. Will be incorporating more keyboard shortcuts and real measurements in models now. Thank you so much!

[FREDARMSTRONG]

thank you for the video. great references for a lot of uses. ... having been in the architectural and residential drafting market for a few years. i found a lot of the programs that generate plans, sections and elevations, also allow for 3D models to be derived from that set of information (chief architect, 3d home builder, etc). it might also be helpful to have a video on how to most effectively set up files in the "drafting /modeling" programs, and effectively import them into BLENDER, for material development alternatives, and perspective/rendering generation (such as in D5 RENDER or BLENDER compatible AI programs). in my experience, most design professions do not like the idea of having to duplicate their work in order to achieve the desired experience for communication purposes. if possible, it would be greatly appreciated if some alternative work flows along the aforementioned concern could be developed for the novice BLENDER user, and perhaps would be most attractive to most design professionals. ... this video illustrates the ability to communicate in a procedural way, making the learning process straight forward and easy to understand. a great tutorial !

Amazing video. Thank you. Now I’m off to see if there’s an Adobe Illustrator import plugin.

I regret only that I have but one like to give. The Star Trek cameo reference alone deserved it! 🤣

[monicalee]

hello very interesting im after a way to change a 2d picture face person to 3d if that is possible or have you already done one on it if so a link would be nice thank you

[Wicked_Pink]

hi, can you make a video on how to make and rig an ai character for twitch

[wileycovington]

I just want to make 12th scale to make things from pictures for my dollhouses.😢

The whoosh sound became too much for me at 1:02 and that was where I stopped it.

[voytechj]

good content, but good God those "whoosh" sound are so annoying.

[linguistk]

Sorry to be critical, Alex, but I wish you would quit trying to be entertaining (with your onscreen commentary and all the annoying inserts) and just show us the Blender work, keeping it onscreen long enough for us learn it without having to constantly pause and skip back. We just want "the facts" so we can get back to work!
