ABOUT ME
I've been using Blender for over half my life! That's since 2008. My first freelance work with the software was around that time as well. I did some animations for a waiting room in my local dental office. Since then, I've been hooked earning a living providing 3D services for businesses across the world. I've had the chance to do work for some big organizations like NASA and Microsoft. The real pride in my work though, has come from helping and being involved with small, independent productions. These indie productions and creators embody what it is to me, to be an artist.

I'm very proud of it! I ought to be with how much time I've put into it. 😅 It's the catch all site to access everything I create. Supporting me there is as simple as contributing the cost of one coffee per month. Doing so gets you access to all training material I've ever created. For a slightly higher support tier, you get access to my ENTIRE model and texture library! Higher still, and you'll receive recognition in all of my video and site footer credits.

Some people ask why I don't have a Patreon. This site is all about creating custom and exclusive offerings for artists. Your monthly contribution is no joke. In fact, it's my complete livelihood at this point! I don't think it's responsible for me to give away a cut of your money to third party organizations like Patreon, so it stays with me, and goes directly towards producing more content and resources.

I've been using Blender for over four years and did NOT know you can outset something with the inset tool! Mind = blown.

[ChristopherHemsworthCreative]

One of the best tutorials I've seen in the many years I've been watching Tutorials. Great flow.

[brunobordini]

Nice to see C4D and Blender community inspiring each other! ❤

[heinschultz]

That "Outset" shortcut is a nice tip, thanks for sharing.

[rhyscooper]

You're honestly making some of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Even your voice and intonation is enjoyable.

[spartano]

I watched tons of video and courses, but nobody has never mentioned the outset tool! That is an amazing functions! Thank you!

[Daffothrill]

This is phenomenally helpful. I've been struggling to figure out how to model these kinds of precise but organic shapes. Thank you!

[ttmayor]

at 5:50 there is an operation for that called "select boundary loop" its very good and I use it all the time

[PaulAppleyard]

Man! Such a solid all-rounder on best practices, thanks!

[REMR]

Your tutorials are top tier. Very pleasant to listen to & you explain everything very well.

[neillpretorius]

I also watch his videos all the time as topology and modelling can be translated between softwares, and his methodology is so good!

[Oyekezie_Hyacinth_Anayo]

Honest the techniques I learnt in this 30 minutes video are mind-blowing. Secondly, thank you for the voiceover. Nigeria 🇳🇬 ❤

[mleonardgy]

I've been waiting for a non symmetrical bottle tutorial for a loong time.
This was excellent, thank you.
A lot learnt in a short time.

I had modeled this on blender watching the tut on cinema but this gave me lots of insights...great tut

[Evri]

Not gonna lie, Laundry detergent products are like the holy grail of modeling

[jesusforever]

Wow... Thank you for sharing this awesome video

[floralseapro]

Excellent tutorial! I really appreciate your modeling approach and the detailed software operations. I hope to see more tutorials like this, and I am willing to pay for them. The 4K quality is also great

[CivicYt]

This is the best tutorial I've seen for beginners.

[hoacaio]

The tutorial video was very informative, I learned a lot today thanks to this video

[RealGaryGibson]

Your video is Blender poetry. I learned so much from this. Thank you!
