    I've learned an awful lot of things on Blender from this single 35 minutes than on countless "tutorials" out there. Thank you very much Chris, you are a _true_ educator; and, please, carry on with this Blender series, because it's going to be very useful to a lot of people (not just me)

    this is not a tutorial.
    this is some actual education video on blender.
    with a manner of an actual teacher and professor.
    giving actual information for actual students...
    this is not a "walk with me" type of tutorial, this is "look this is how you walk, now walk" type of material.
    awesome...

    You have delivered to us a wonderful tutorial on Blender which is arguably the best on UA-cam and maybe on the whole internet. Your tutorial is clear and concise, the way tutorials should be. Your delivery has contagious enthusiasm. You come across friendly and personable without sacrificing a technical explanation (the way tutorials should be). Truly, the comments I have read say it better than I can. I only wish to sum up my comment with the ever famous line from a very popular sci fi show, "May you live long and prosper, " and continue making our lives better with Explaining Computers.

    I started blender few days ago and I have been watching tutorials on different channels. I can say this is the best tutorial so far I have seen. He explained what he is doing, why is he doing it, and multiple ways to do it. Blender is different from the other 3D modeling software I have been using. Without proper tutorial it is very difficult and will take a long time to progress. Hope to see more tutorials from this channel. Thank you.

I have ground through many Blender tutorial videos, in the time since then but, I have never experienced a Blender tutorial video as clear and confident as yours. I strongly believe that this is your true calling. You should definitely do some more Blender videos. You have a wonderful sense of humor but, you seem to be thoroughly juiced, in terms of how to use Blender! I hope that you will get more into Blender. Thank you again.

    The fact that you used this bracket in your previous video and now showed how you created it in Blender is very helpful and interesting. I would like to see a video on what you would see as the next logical step in using Blender. Of course, my interest in Blender would be to use it for making mesh items for the virtual world of Second Life. With that being said, I'm not sure just how many of your viewers are interested in creating virtual items. Personally, I hope there are many. This was, yet again, another excellent video and I'm looking forward to your next one!

    Hi Chris, gotta comment to say this is great and I hope you produce more. Despite now working in a 3D design and print job (albeit with software that deals only with the specific objects I have to print - they are personalised medical devices for NHS patients), I have been trying to learn Blender for my home projects ever since the free version of Sketchup became hobbled to the point it really has ceased to be useful. I have tried a couple of ‘courses’ by other youTubers only really to become confused before I started. Watching this quick half hour explanation has given me the confidence to go back and look again.

    The best I could manage in the last few years was to convert a SVG file into a 3D mesh for use elsewhere. Having seen in the two segments of this clip, I now have a better understanding and that it is more mode-based than I was making it out to be. One of the big issues I've had with so many Blender guide videos, is that the one doing it just goes way too fast and often misses key points, giving no time to take information in and to keep up or just losing the viewer completely.

  • @GazzaBoo

    As others have said, your tutorial is exceptional. Well thought out and truly made for the hapless beginner, with concise, easy to follow instructions in a very logical 'baby steps' fashion. You showed and described each step clearly, no confusing jargon, no skipping past salient points, no assuming people will know what you mean, you actually say what you mean. You explain what you're doing, why you're doing it, how to do it and what it does. These four very important steps are so often overlooked but help so much with understanding the process.
    I've seen many tutorials completed by people following step-by-step instructions with no explanations, they don't understand why they do each step or how each step even works, which means they cannot use what they did in the tutorial for anything else as they have no understanding of how to implement what they 'learned'. So many beginner tutorials assume an already decent understanding and working knowledge of the programs, which invariably leads to confusion and frustration because the tutorials skip so many of the fundamental basics, which to them seem obvious, but to a noob they're far from obvious.
    Thank you, Chris.

    This is the first video I should have watched at some point when I started learning Blender, I could have saved myself a lot of time researching and on many occasions confusing myself with add-ons just to test if Blender had practical potential for creating precision models. By far this is the video of the first big step to correctly start in the world of Blender with a focus on engineering modeling. It's not bad to use add-ons if they improve the workflow, but sometimes I felt like I was going outside of Blender's native logic, which is impressive how it has evolved.

Your 1 million subscribers was already guaranteed but I think if you could include Blender tutorials in addition to your other excellent content it would prove hugely popular.
    Just a side note for anyone thinking that because it's free it can't be that good, nothing could be further from the truth. Blender has advanced greatly over the years and now rivals other 3d packages like Solidworks, Autocad, Maya etc and the big advantage Blender has of course is that those other softwares cost a great deal of money but Blender is free.

    I don’t typically comment, much less watch a video of this length. In the age where attention spans are growing shorter, I watch most UA-cam videos 2x the speed, but I watched this video at regular speed! My ADHD will have me falling asleep or completely distracted normally.
    This video however, everything was straight to the point, and I appreciate how personable you are! I also chuckled at the little quips. 😆🙌
    I am so thankful I found this video because I am just starting out. I tried blender a few years ago, was completely overwhelmed and deleted the program afterwards.
    However, I went from watching this video, to redownloading Blender. I jumped back in and was able to create a small project, Start to finish. In only a couple of hours!
    I have never been able to pick up a new skill so quickly, thank you so much and I am off to watch your other video.🙏💗
    PLEASE make more videos for Blender!

    👏👏👏Thank you, thank you, thank you! You teach so that I get what I need to use Blender without being frustrated.
    I teach how to work in SAP as well as other systems for a living and I don't teach in a way that would be suited for me because my audience has so many people from such different backgrounds and I have to make sure I don't lose them.
    You teach in a way that is suited for me. It is fast, efficient, covers a lot, and leaves nothing out. I love your sense of humor too. Please keep up the videos. You are incredibly smart and knowledgeable, and I appreciate anything you want to teach in Blender.

    Thanks for the time and effort you put into making this tutorial. It has been perfect for getting me up to speed with hard surface modeling in blender. I bought a 3d printer on cyber week this year, and relearning blender has been a slow but fun project for me. With the aid of this utorial, I know I will be making brackets, plates, and other models for items around the house and my metal/woodworking shop.

    Brilliant and logical video to get people brand new to Blender (such as me) up and running. I love that sometimes you continue the steps even though there's an impending problem (like showing the bevel tool not working until you go back and apply all transformations). Really look forward to the next videos.
    I'm hopefully buying my first house this year, so I want to learn how to create a floor plan, some basic (low polygon) furniture, and hopefully a bit of texturing to get an idea how to decorate the place. I feel like I could create a coffee table and simple sofa with what you've shown us!
    Thank you.

Note that you can download free furniture models for Blender here: www.blender3darchitect.com/category/furniture-models/ The very best of luck when you get your first house. It will be an unforgettable time.

    This i an amazing tutorial. For many years i have tried to get to use Blender. But until now, with no success.
    I'm 3-D printing a lot, and i use OpenScad, when I'm drawing my objects. Its a pure mathematical discipline - and I'm better at that, than drawing and modelling. But Blender has some features i just envie. You can animate, make skins and so on. So that's the reason I really appreciate this video.
    And what didn't come as a surprise to me, because you are a master of teaching. You manage to find the most important things in this extremely complex software. You present it in a way, so the recipient can follow along.
    I can't thank you enough.

    I'd dabbled with Blender over the years as I saw great potential for robust 3D modeling capabilities. I see the application has indeed grown into an excellent tool, especially for joining the paradigms of art vs language in 3D creation. That is... One could illustrate any manner of aesthetic objects and even animate them, or create proper 'CAD' objects to be built from the data itself. Thanks so much for this video Chris. I've been waiting for a program like this for over 40 years, and now you've effectively broken down the 'modes' of Blender, which helps a lot. Great video.
