    Hello! So something interesting that has happened: You guys have downloaded so many SVG icons from the website mentioned in the tutorial, that they seem to have removed the option to download free SVG icons. But fear not, there are many open source alternatives to get great SVG icons! Here is a list:
    Feather Icon (Open source): feathericons.com/
    Google Fonts Icons (Open source): fonts.google.com/icons
    Remix Icon (Open source): remixicon.com/
    Bootstrap Icons (Open source): icons.getbootstrap.com/
    Feel free to add your suggestions in the comments, and I'll try and update this list!

    I have been consistently learning different things in Blender for the past 4 or 5 months, and every time I think of something different or new that I may want to try doing in the software, there has always been some way to do it. So far there has never been a single thing I've wanted to try that Blender could NOT do, whether it's viable by a script, an addon, or just a native built-in feature. I think this is the most powerful aspect of Blender: there may be better programs out there to do specific tasks, but Blender seems to truly be a jack of all trades and manages to be a pretty good master in a lot of things you wouldn't expect it to be good at. And if there's something you want to do that you can't do...someone out there is probably making an addon for it right now, or an entirely different build of the software all together. I never would have expected Blender to be solid with creating 2D animations from a 3D workflow, things like logos, animated intros and outros, etc. I would expect to rely on software like Premiere or After Effects to do things like that. But here we are, doing this exact thing in totally free software that is built around modeling three dimensional objects.
    Seriously, is there anything Blender CAN'T do? I imagine the list of things it can't do is much shorter than the list of all the things it can do. It blows my mind that this is completely free.
