BLENDER For Absolute Beginners - Getting Started

I already know blender but learning blender from u , would be as good as getting a degree

[@SurfacedStudio]

Haha, don't know whether my tutorials would be certifiable, but it's great to hear you're enjoying them!

[@professorpachyderm8277]

Finally a tutorial that explains keybinds. I tried two other videos that didn't really explain them much and I was immediately lost when they started flying around the screen without explaining how. 10/10

Thank you very much for the awesome comment :) Great to hear you enjoyed my tutorial!

[@Bryan-xv7gf]

honestly, think u deserve more subs with these ammounts of efforts, and i see that almost every comment from others you answered it, that's the real meaning of the best youtubers ever, you give knowledge to alot of people, i hope we all your audiences can support you by watching ur vids and supporting u always

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you so much for the awesome comment :) I *really* appreciate my audience and this friendly little community that has formed around my channel and try to reply to as many as I can - it's getting a bit too much though lately, but I will keep answering as much as I can :)

[@element4studios]

This video has taught me more in it's short time, than the last few years have... Thanks for putting it together!

[@wazzzarov]

great video, i would love to learn about modeling, rigging and animating, and how to render or export an animation to be used as a video. thanks again.

My kitten is watching your video like it needs to understand how to use Blender.

[@SurfacedStudio]

LOL, made me laugh :D

[@cherrydragon3120]

I bet its animating mice to trick his cat friends

[@OmniscientWarrior]

Cats are learning how to use tools like this to create diagrams to send to each other. The diagrams are to help them plot the taking over of the world... and how they can get cheeseburger.

You are one of the best teachers on KZbin! Fantastic Video and a Fantastic program. I got it just to crate videos of my music over a single image with a visual waveform animation on top but now I've got better plans.

That's exciting! Thank you for the comment - nice to hear you're getting something useful out of my videos :)

[@SurfacedStudio]

No worries, glad to hear you found the tutorial helpful :) I hope to refresh this series to Blender 2.8 at some point, but lots of people still use the 2.79 version

[@petervalcanas4219]

If you're like me and can't get used to selecting with the RMB youcan change it in the Preferences to the LMB. File>User Preferences and in the Input tab you van change it to Left. Just an FYI.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Good to know :) I actually don't mind the RMB selection, it's just something different to get used to

[@petervalcanas4219]

You did look pretty comfortable using it but I figured some of the other folks would like to know. I just started using Blender so if you can provide more tutorials it would be great.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you, I very much appreciate the feedback (and the info) :)

[@ibrahimaltay1]

Dude, no one shows as simple as you. You should definitely continue on this series. Actually you should make a complete series.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you so much for the awesome comment! Given that everyone else is telling me the same thing I do intend to expand this into a proper series :)

[@Abigail_Snowbit]

Please make a modeling tutorial! I could really use some more good quality blender tutorials :)

[@Abigail_Snowbit]

Because of this tutorial i finally really understand the basics of blender, i mostly had issues with the basic shortcuts. (I already know about lighting, texturing and animating(in Source film maker and Cinema 4D))

Loved the video! For some reason though, when I got to the part where we make a plane and add the lighting, my plane looks literally plain (no shine to it) and the lights will not work no matter how much I tweak the intensity settings. Not sure what happened along the way being I followed everything before it pretty exact. Either way, I really enjoyed this tutorial and I will continue following along! Thanks again!

[@SurfacedStudio]
