For those lost at @1:38:19 where he has a New Material. For some reason he skipped a step. Here is what to do. 1. locate the thin bar that is between the view of the sword, and the view of the nodes graph area below 2. locate the middle of the separating bar, where it says "slot 1" 3. it probably says "Checkers" if you have been following along 4. click the X button to the right of the material name to delete the checkered material 5. now you have a button there to create a new material called "+ New" click this. 6. He names it "Blade" so you can name yours "Blade" also. Now you are caught up with where he starts.

The fact that he gave us a 4 hour in depth course for free, is just amazing.

For those who can't apply bevel modifier: you probably have duplicated vertices.

To Remove Doubles: In Edit mode, select everything. Go to the menu in the top left corner of the viewport. and hit Mesh > Clean Up > Merge by Distance. This will remove any duplicated vertices.

It usually happens when you extrude a face, then cancel with the right-click. Right click only cancels the moving of the faces, not the creation itself. For that you also have to press ctrl+z.

These tutorials are the best on Youtube. Period. I've tried 4-5 now and got frustrated with the explanations. These are well-paced, steady, and assumes you know nothing (which, if you are watching this, you really don't). This is the real deal.

Guys lets appreciate CG Fast Track for this VERY LONG tutorial

Bro I mean this tutorial would cost a hundred bucks but they taught us how to use blender for free!

[nidhinjoseph]

When i thought my lost my blender battle over a donut, and here you came with sword and won over. This is such a quality tutorial and literally fast track!

[WKADESIGNS]

30:00 If anyone is having trouble with the Alt-Shift-Click short for selecting multiple loop cuts, just double click the loop + Shift.

P.S. You are a lifesaver CG Fast Track, thank you so much for taking the time to teach everyone from the ground up, I've seen a lot of tutorials over the years but yours is hands-down the best!

[spctr]

I can't believe that such a quality content is free, you're truly an amazing person, thanks ♥

[RostosWoW]

49:25 If you cant scale vertices here, there is a chain looking icon at the center top screen, change that to Median point

[SelfMasteryZone]

Couldn't make a donut but my sword is looking🔥🔥

[siddharthmadhavan]

If anyone’s confused about 1:38:38, he created a new material with the button to the right of the checkers tab and then deleted the orange shader. Took some time to figure out since I’m new haha

[benjamina]

I love that you use footage of the sword to transition between chapters, it serves as a frequent reminder/motivator of what we're working towards!!!

[matin]

i followed the 2.8 version of your tutorial and i finished it this morning
now i learned something that i can be proud of myself beside just playing video games
thank you so much sir for the knowledge you're sharing
i'll start to make a completely different scene with the sword

[wilkw]

This is probably the best tutorial of anything that ever existed. It's not even a tutorial, this is a full beginner course worth a good money. Incredible you share it for free.

[ravichandrachran]

did any of you observe there are no even adds on this tutorial playing, thank you CG FAST TRACK for providing this amazing tutorial for free of cost...

[tamasmihaly]

CG: You're a very good educator. Concise, instructive and straight-forward. I'm so sick of donuts!

[CGFastTrack]

UPDATE: Part 3 will be ready and uploaded tomorrow (Late Friday night PCT the 23rd).

[shyamsundarshrestha]

This is a lot cooler than the donut making tutorials, Omg I've never learned so much about blender until now, And here comes the King of Blender Tutorials!
Thank you so much CG Fast Track. Well I have to say this is really a fast track towards blender and the 3D World!

[yeetyeetpotatoskeet]

I already had a lot of respect for you for giving us this amazing course for free, but then I noticed the clips you used in the beginning from your portfolio and realised you're far more than some cool guy who likes to teach people stuff, you've worked on one of the animations that made me want to learn this, the clash of clans videos, i absolutely love those! Thank you for all of your work and for inspiring so many people!

[lordvalla]

Ngl when i first watched this it feels like your working at insane speed, now that ive come back to it (to finish it) i know so many methods and hotkeys which make it so much faster.
