  • I like the way he draws the smiley face it makes me feel like i am progresss
  • @vasastudios
    All other tutorials do not explain this well. I am impressed.
  • @AURAxSTAR
    Anyone looking to get into blender, this is THE tutorial to do first! Literally could not be more beginner friendly, and when I went to remake it by myself after following along with the tutorial I did the whole thing without forgetting a step in 15 minutes - tyvm for the fantastic resource! 🙏🏽

    Who else came here after modeling a donut lol
  • @umutcankaya7737
    From making donuts to sabotaging ancient ruins. Blender!!! Here I come.

    Most of the time when I try to follow a tutorial, it's too fast, or too confusing. You were one of the first blender tutorial channels where I could actually understand what I was doing and how to do it. Thanks for the video :D
  • @frankenpaper
    I really appreciate that you have your resolution scale set so that your video is easy for me to see and read. The way you use the red lines to highlight the important details as well as the onscreen keyboard (when appropriate). These key details make your videos the easiest to watch and follow. Thank you very much!

    Feel like I’m taking a highschool class. 10/10 best tutorial I’ve found so excited to keep learning😊
  • @c8kbatter829
    THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER, SO HANDS ON AND DETAILED.
  • @Laecy
    You're an excellent teacher. I've watched quite a few tutorials on various specific skills, and while they almost always walk you through the process, they rarely give an explanation of WHY you do particular things. If something goes wrong and a glitch gets introduced into my project, I don't know how to fix it because I don't know why I was doing what I was doing. Your emphasis on clear explanation and developing specific muscle memory skills helped SO MUCH. I hope this tutorial series blows up because the work and skill and patience you put into it is unmatched. Thank you for this.

    I've been trying to learn Blender on and off for a couple of years with little to no progress. I struggle to learn and retain information. This is the most progress I've even done and it actually brought tears to my eyes. This is hands down the best tutorial I've ever seen. Not saying all the others are rubbish but this one was so straight forward, I was smiling all through it. Thank you so much.
  • @MrDaril123
    Finished the old one a couple of weeks ago and the new one is already available ! You guys rule ! Thank you so much :)
  • @VideoCesar07
    I've just started this and I love the pacing. Enough to help you hit the ground running but not so much that you feel overwhelmed and wondering what you would even do with everything you've learned. Some tutorials throw too much at you and are very long and/or in depth. There is so much to 3D modeling that I think tutorials like this are better to let you learn just enough to decide which path you want to get started with.
  • @laurell858
    this is SO much better than any other tutorials I've seen. You really focus in on the basics and i feel like i'm actually retaining the information. definitely going to finish this series and join your premium stuff
  • @Minyamoo
    I already have a decent amount of experience with blender, but I've never really found an in depth tutorial as good as this one! Thank you so much for making this clear and helping me review the basics!
  • I've been scouring intro tutorials and this is by far the best. 15 minutes in and I feel I have a great grasp of the basics. Thank you kind sir and well done!
  • @DominoUB
    Just came here after finishing the Donut tutorial. Donut was great, I got to make something pretty, but I don't feel like I retained a lot of the concepts. I went away and tried to apply what I learned there to make a cupcake, and did OK, but not as good as when I followed the video step by step. I feel like you really helped in reinforcing and retaining the basic concepts and core skills. I like how you tell us to not just follow you, but to listen, then repeat. I'd recommend people come here first before going to Donut. Looking forward to the next part.
  • @owlbeback4249
    Just want to say this is a fantastic primer. I'm a graphic and motion designer, graduating this fall, who just realized the limitless possibilities that Blender could offer me in my field. This was a great introduction to the software. Thank you!
