    hey I'm a blender enthousiast and got a suggestion for you. You could enable the "screencast key" addon to display the keys you press while recording your blender sessions. It can help too. Thanks for these tips.
  • Yes, please, more videos on basic topology. You are a very good teacher. I failed to learn basics like this when I first started out in Blender. Every beginner should master basic topology & tools before developing habits based on poorly learned basics. It is so much harder to unlearn than it is to learn properly the first time. When I first discovered Blender I jumped into ambitious projects, without mastering basic concepts. This slowed my learning process immensely. Now I am having to go back to the beginning and start over, so I really appreciate your focus on the basics.

    That radial modeling blew my mind. omg that is life changing.
  • that last cylinder should be added as a standard mesh in blender, it’s amazing!
  • @tormxnta
    This is so refreshing. I only learned Maya in school but now that my student license expired a while back i’ve been trying to get into blender. These videos are a huge help.
  • @AsbestosSoup
    Its amazing how advanced artists just model complex things smartly in 20 seconds while I spend a whole afternoon. Really valuable vid :)
  • The radial modelling trick saved my sanity. Thank you a lot!
  • @nmcrobie
    This is just brilliant, I am always amazed how easy it is to resolve those annoying issues I hit so often - thank you
  • @frozthound
    After years using Blender, tips like this always slap me to the ground. I mean, like, there are always new things to learn. Thank you for the lesson mate.
  • @wouwou9146
    Have had 3D-modeling as a hobby since 2017 and learned so much from this video even today. All you did was new to me. This speeds up my work. Thanks!
  • What I learned from this video: Double tap G is the hotkey to slide vertices. Worth 13 minutes just for that. It'll save me 13 minutes five times a day...
  • @xenofalcon
    I've been on a quest to learn good topology techniques, and you release this gem of a video. Thank you so much.
  • @TheJunipera
    For me as a beginner your first video was eye opening, and this is just as informative, straight to the point and I feel I've learned useful tips that I'll use 100%. Thanks for making this!
  • @LeneChibi
    That helped so much! My mind was blown a few times :D I've only worked with Blender a couple of weeks now but no tutorial I followed mentioned any of these tips! I ended up with multiple details that really bugged me (like pinched edges or deformed smoothed surfaces). Thank you so much!
  • Great video! For the section on modelling into curved surfaces another nice trick to make the edges sharp is placing a bevel modifier above the subdivision modifier.
  • @VSWRKS
    Super well explained! I actually love watching tutorials like this before I go to sleep. I find it super relaxing.
  • @tpros6289
    This was great! I really needed to know these topology techniques.
  • @Pumpkinwaffle
    Some very sound advice! Learnt a few tricks, tank you. Topology and simplifying/improving workflows is very precious.
  • @koljak9395
    Fantastic video! I've been using Blender for years, and still learned some new tricks today. Thanks! (And yes, more on clean topology, please).
