There are some really great things you do from a pedagogical standpoint. You invite the viewer to practice, you tell them when to hyper focus, and you tell them when to just watch you first and then try themselves after. Really fantastic.
@@Bigbeatdown yep he does everything right what donut guy does wrong. Donut guy is approaching us like a classroom that won't listen . This guy is inviting us to play around and explore it our selves I even wanna try to do stuf with out tutorials now too.
When I say that this is the best Blender tutorial, I 100% MEAN IT. This man made me, a person who hadn't even touched blender before, from being overwhelmed at the sheer amount of controls, to making absolute crazy animations that I thought took years of practice.
i could honestly listen to his voice for the whole day. the fact he repeats steps many times is greatly appreciated as some people usually mention it only once or twice then later quickly skips over the step while I sit in my chair trying to remember what the button was. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
Thanks for making this series. In case no one has told you this, the fact that you consistently remind us to keep our eyes on the video before doing something new is incredibly helpful for people like me who have ADHD and lose focus easily. I liked and subscribed because of it, and am actually able to learn this without constantly getting distracted mostly because of that one factor. I also appreciate how you break everything down into bite-sized steps and then after showing us what to do, it is great when you walk us through it again when it is our turn to do it. Continue doing what you do, you have an excellent teaching style. Thank you!!
This series is actually insane. Most other people would never provide tutorials with this much detail to people for free. You are truly a blessing to the blender community. Keep it up👍
I was very impressed by the first video, but then when I saw the duration of the second, I thought 'there's no way this is going to be interesting throughout the 2-freaking-hours!' I was wrong! Whoever the narrator is, he nothing short of absolutely brilliant. Kudos!!!
I finished the Minecraft tutorial, it was very easy to follow through, my only comment was i didn't know how to extract a video sample like the one you had in your intro however it gave me motivation to move on to this tutorial and i have to thank you so much for your effort! it's amazing .. i didn't finish the donut video made by blender guru cuz it got so overwhelming for me and i just gave up. You're extremely skilled, your teaching style is clear & simple and i love your tutorials. I think after i finish these i will most definitely enroll in your premium courses. THANK YOU SO MUCH! You ROCK!
I really love the little reminders, that each lesson isn't too long, that you put in practice time, etc. As a former teacher, this is amazing and how almost all lessons should go! You rock!
Just finished this video and I feel so proud. It looks beautiful and most of all, that was the best tutorial I've ever followed. You are clear, organized, explored troubleshooting on the way, and you repeated how to do simple things throughout the video in case we forgot how to do it (which I did). I appreciate the insane thought and precision. Also the smiley faces along the way were very encouraging. :D
There's quite a lot of things I enjoy about this tutorial, such as reminders that certain steps are only there to apply muscle memory for certain tasks. One thing that I think could make this better is getting the followers of the tutorial to apply shortcuts, rather than navigating menus for most things. Instead of clicking on the Extrude tool, clicking out when done, etc., someone could just click E, then not have to worry about making sure the select mode is active afterwards, just as an example. As someone with extreme ADHD, this video does a great job of getting users to pay attention for certain parts, and letting them know when to pay attention and when to actually do the steps you describe.
My Feedback as a Beginner in Blender: I have completed multiple tutorials on Blender and recently discovered this channel. What sets these tutorials apart is the clear voice, easy-to-understand instructions, and a pace that is just right-not too fast, not too slow. The tutorials don’t rush through everything at once, which is very helpful. The best part is the detailed explanation of tools and modifiers while creating something. I’ve learned the hard way - that understanding any concept through examples and hands-on practice helps the knowledge stick. He puts himself in the shoes of a beginner and explains everything from that perspective. Thanks for creating such awesome videos 😀
This could be the poster child for everything I look for in a tutorial. Most tutorials aren't very active and effective, I just want people to show me all the things to do in a fast and straightforward way that makes sense and explains when necessary. It's also 2 hours and takes its time to deep dive, which is good for getting that fast sense of progression. I would 100% buy premium right now if I wasn't broke as dirt.
@@FirstAscendant best way to learn is to just dive in... i started with a cup, from there i started to learn to manipulate cubes... i quickly realized you can be creative and form absolutely anything. So i went from a cup to spaceship to 3d human. i did great on them all, even the 3d human was used in a video game by lion studios or something like that. Just don't be afraid to get in over your head. things i find that make learning easier, how to use shapes to form things up rough and just keep smoothing them and then switch to wire mesh and form details by moving the mesh vertices(made it easy for me), then i used sculpting brushes with very light power to them, so i could get comfortable with brushes doing wrinkles and other fine details. Been like 8 years since i played in blender, but it only took me 6 months and i was at a professional level. now i just have to remember everything and its all moved from like blender 2.3, which is fine. the hard part is taught in this video and its about getting familiar with locations of menu's, shape manipulation and hotkeys. You want crazy complex, i can give you very hard things to do. go make airplane hull, then add wings as a separate part, then keep adding each piece as its own part from the parent object hull. learn to do organization with parts and it will have you pre setup to start learning to animate parts or even program them to be destructible in pieces in a game engine. then you'll be on your way to cgi quality stuff and start learning to build stage scenes :) i'm not making his sword for 2-3 hours, i can tell you that... i'll benefit more from something fast paced throwing the shortcut keys in corner. Its all just memorizing where stuff is and the rest is your imagination
The way you explain how stuff works in 3d is far more superior than any other instructor that I had. I went to school to be a technical artist at BCIT, but I gave up on the second term, and then I gave up on being a 3D artist until I found you. My motivation sparked again and I have so much fun learning from you. I will purchase your full course as soon as I get some cash. Thank you so much for putting in the effort to explain everything so thoroughly.
Just blew my mind when u showed how simple it was to make a simple blade shape just by merging vertices. I nearly jumped out of my seat out of excitement xD
I really like how you point out the times you want me to focus and not run off and do something. In most other tutorials I find I have to repeat too often and switch my focus between watching and doing. WIth you tutorial I get a kick in the pants when I need to watch the video instead of trying to keep up in the tool.
A couple years ago I actually learned how to use blender from your original sword tutorial. It was the first real tutorial I actually watched. Now I have been making all kinds of crazy scenes and characters lol. I cannot thank you enough for it either. In fact I still have that same original scene I made while watching it lol.
I thought I had attention issues, this videos goes to show that I infact do but the way you engage with the audience and snap us back to each chapter is what makes you a great creator and teacher. Thank you so much
Dude, I love your tutorials, they're so helpful as someone with ADHD, especially the hyper focus parts. Most tutorials, just go too fast, or too slow, or skim over things like short cuts and just expect people to know things, I struggled a lot learning Cinema 4D and 3DS Max, but following these tutorials is so simple and I am learning so much so thank you. I am facing an issue, I can't find ambient occlusion where you find it. I am on Blender 4.2 so I think it might be different.
bro i swear your the best blender explainer ive ever seen in my entire life also when i was scaling i got scared cuz it didnt show so i thought my project was ruined but it was just hidn lol😂😂😂😂
This was the most articulate and easy to follow tutorial I have come across. Being new to 3d modeling and animation, you made it an easy decision to buy your premier membership. Thank you!
From one teacher to another, you are an amazing teacher, constantly reminding me to look at the video helped me to guide my focus, thats such an underated technique, great video, halfway through and this is so much fun Edit: 30 mins to go and I'm loving this. The star on the handle was really hard for me. I just couldn't get it right for so long. I decided to restart from a save backup only to realize that save from from 40 mins earlier. So sad
I loved that in between each chapter he showed the final product. Like I would get frustrated that I sucked but it felt like a solid reminder of what I was working towards. And I loved it. I wish I could subscribe twice
You're a godsend. I have learned more blender basics from this "masterclass" I'll call it, than most tutorials. Don't get me wrong, everyone who has made informative tutorials for blender is super awesome and they are helpful, but going through this as if I was in a lecture was absolutely crucial to the retention of information during this project. I hope you come out with more tutorials like this. Thank you so much!
All I can say is thank you. You helped me big time on my seminar project by explaining everything with such a delicate detail, so that anyone can really understand it even if they are complete strangers to Blender. Big thumbs up! :)
I loveeee your tutorial very much. I have seen the old version Blender 2.9, and I also watched this new version. I can see your enthusiasm. The way you go into the problem and solve it is extremely natural and clear. Everything is throughout. Respect you. I will always support your videos.
I HAVE NO WORDS to describe how good this is, I've been trying to learn blender but I couldn't get myself to complete a tutorial, you are the best of the best for tutorials!!!
@CGFastTrack Im looking into purchasing the course from your website but im wondering if its the same short chapter format? Also are all the courses in the program able to be followed along with on Blender 4.0? I noticed you had a banner that says courses in level 1 and 2 will have upcoming changes but what about everything else?

I'm working on a render for my boyfriend's birthday of his favorite videogame and you have no idea how much this has helped me, thank you so much for being as detailed as posible! It has helped me go from 0 to good enough in literally less than 24h and I'm actually happy with the results so far!!
I'm so happy I didn't give up after the donut tut , because when i was doing that i was so confused and lost all the time i didnt really understand what to do and kept messing up.. I'm so glad i tried this tut ! Tysm for this, this gave me motivation :)
I told my friend that I'm interested in Blender and I'd like to learn it. He sent me your tutorials and DAMN. I love it even tho it's just mainly about memorizing what stuff does so I can do projects myself later on. Thank you for these great tutorials, I'm about to go to the stone tutorial now! :D
I initially got scared from the video duration, but your explaination is so easy to follow that i didn't feel the need to pause and i completed this within 2.5 hrs, normally a 1 hour video takes 4 hours to model
by far you are the best guy in this teaching blender look at detailing in this video man you are just awesome...... the way you teach ... you have unbelievable patience thank you for making this series sir...
Sir thank you so much for these tutorials, Like idk how to describe it fully in words, but all i can say is I'm thankful i found you. You've helped me understand the blender basics and actually try and make stuff myself and this is just incredible Seriously you deserve more recognition for these videos!
Plus your reminders are always so helpful aswell, most people that do tutorials think people like us would remember that stuff, but you are handling is carefully :)
When I first tried learning blender, the tutorials were overwhelming for me. I had zero experience with 3D and I was always lost. Since then, I haven’t used blender in years, and I’m trying it again now that I have a lot more experience in this field. I still have the basics memorized, so your tutorials feel very slow for me. You’d spend a good 3 minutes explaining how to extrude a shape, and I’d do it in 2 seconds. But I love that. Maybe if I found your tutorial when I first started, I wouldn’t have quit Blender then. You explain everything in details without expecting us to know anything beforehand, and it’s easy to follow along. I’ll definitely point all the beginners I know your way, and I can’t wait to try out the advanced tutorials! Thanks you for everything, kind sir
Your tutorials are so helpful, I mean I love how explanatory they are step by step, thank you so much for helping me understand how everything works in blender, following you step by step is amazing.
I absolutely can't believe the quality of these videos. It must have been a TON of work. It is much appreciated I wish every software I've ever learned to use came with as extensive and concise as this guide. It is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this, I love the way you delve into the details before continuing, while keeping each chapter simple and to the point so it's not overwhelming for newbies and how you often introduce a natural approach to a problem and then proceed to improve on that approach. It really helps with actually memorizing things too.
I love your teaching style and quality of your material. Unfortunately almost $400 for the premium subscription is a lot of money here in Brazil, a third world country. It would be a dream to be able to buy this lifetime course. Thank you so much for the free introductory course, one of the best courses here on TH-cam.
thank you SO SO MUCH. i can’t express how thankful i am. i’m very new to blender and have been feeling stressed out because of the amount of stuff i need to learn as a beginner, but your videos make us learn all this step-to-step
for those struggling on the min 52:00, if the proportional editing is stretching the whole object instead of just the 4 dots part then you should try hitting G and then middle mouse scroll until you see a circle appear, that circle shows the area that the scale is... scaling. By the way if you by any chance have selected an object and you accidentally typed "H", the object is now hidden so don't panic and hold "alt+H", the object will re-appear.
These have been super helpful. Legit taking these with ZERO prior knowledge of Blender. Super easy to follow along, and the practice drills are very helpful. Something to note- I first started running this tutorial with Blender 2.8 and It did not have the advanced texturing options, such as the dropdown for emissions in the principle node. I updated to the newest Blender version, and it does not have Bloom or the Ambient Occlusion options in the Render Properties, so the runes on my sword are quite dull. Edit-- Just noticed the pinned message addresses these issues.
This is honestly the best tutorial series I have ever seen. So much effort put into this to explain every minor step. Huge thanks for sharing such an amazing project!
I had already done the Minecraft tutorial, and I just finished the sword, the emission I made in red, which was spectacular too. Thank you for these classes. I had already lost enthusiasm for Blender, but now everything has changed!
ive benn on blender for about 3 months and gotten pretty used to it. im sure i have well over 150 hours but man this tutorial still taught me so much important info that i dont thank a lot of people mention. like duplicate vs copy i.e
Ready to chew through this tutorial today. I have wanted to learn how to make a sword in Blender since I started modding Skyrim almost a decade ago. Thank you for this
hello. Please make more video. Trust me, i got into the world of 3d and i want to learn more. i already finiahed the first part of tutorial with the minecraft. Don't ever stop doing this. Those tutorials are 100x better than the donut tutorial
You are by far the best instructor Ive seen thanks so much, I started yesterday and a feel so much better since i came across your video, thanks - Wallie Ai
I found the section going over the Edit mode tools very interesting because I had never heard of an Inset Tool, but I had been doing the exact same thing for ages by extruding and then scaling the selection, so I'm already super used to just pressing E then S to inset. This is the kind of thing that happens when you teach yourself lmao.
Even its too long to watch its entertaining and its really really good teaching...also some things have changed in blender like that principled bsdf really appreciate you to make an complete detailed video...❤
Could I be anymore thrilled to complete this tutorial. God! you are doing an amazing job. they way you have explained everything and reminding us. it is letting me have hope. yes, i can do this. Thank you so much.!!!!!!!!!!!

I noticed you had a banner that says courses in level 1 and 2 will have upcoming changes but what about everything else?

I'm working on a render for my boyfriend's birthday of his favorite videogame and you have no idea how much this has helped me, thank you so much for being as detailed as posible! It has helped me go from 0 to good enough in literally less than 24h and I'm actually happy with the results so far!!
seriously the best blender tutorial I did not feel overwhelmed at all and finished the tutorial way quicker than I usually do
I'm so happy I didn't give up after the donut tut , because when i was doing that i was so confused and lost all the time i didnt really understand what to do and kept messing up.. I'm so glad i tried this tut ! Tysm for this, this gave me motivation :)
I told my friend that I'm interested in Blender and I'd like to learn it. He sent me your tutorials and DAMN. I love it even tho it's just mainly about memorizing what stuff does so I can do projects myself later on. Thank you for these great tutorials, I'm about to go to the stone tutorial now! :D
I initially got scared from the video duration, but your explaination is so easy to follow that i didn't feel the need to pause and i completed this within 2.5 hrs, normally a 1 hour video takes 4 hours to model
Awesome work!
God bless you! By far the most detailed blender tutorial exists on earth!
by far you are the best guy in this teaching blender
look at detailing in this video man you are just awesome......
the way you teach ... you have unbelievable patience
thank you for making this series sir...
Sir thank you so much for these tutorials, Like idk how to describe it fully in words, but all i can say is I'm thankful i found you. You've helped me understand the blender basics and actually try and make stuff myself and this is just incredible Seriously you deserve more recognition for these videos!
Plus your reminders are always so helpful aswell, most people that do tutorials think people like us would remember that stuff, but you are handling is carefully :)
When I first tried learning blender, the tutorials were overwhelming for me. I had zero experience with 3D and I was always lost. Since then, I haven’t used blender in years, and I’m trying it again now that I have a lot more experience in this field. I still have the basics memorized, so your tutorials feel very slow for me. You’d spend a good 3 minutes explaining how to extrude a shape, and I’d do it in 2 seconds. But I love that. Maybe if I found your tutorial when I first started, I wouldn’t have quit Blender then. You explain everything in details without expecting us to know anything beforehand, and it’s easy to follow along. I’ll definitely point all the beginners I know your way, and I can’t wait to try out the advanced tutorials! Thanks you for everything, kind sir
Your tutorials are so helpful, I mean I love how explanatory they are step by step, thank you so much for helping me understand how everything works in blender, following you step by step is amazing.
Literally the best tutorial to start learning blender I highly recommended you to my friends we’re transferring from maya
I absolutely can't believe the quality of these videos. It must have been a TON of work. It is much appreciated
I wish every software I've ever learned to use came with as extensive and concise as this guide. It is an absolute masterpiece. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this, I love the way you delve into the details before continuing, while keeping each chapter simple and to the point so it's not overwhelming for newbies and how you often introduce a natural approach to a problem and then proceed to improve on that approach. It really helps with actually memorizing things too.
this is the best blender tutorial ive ever seen... even more then the part 1. All clear now. Thank you
I love your teaching style and quality of your material. Unfortunately almost $400 for the premium subscription is a lot of money here in Brazil, a third world country. It would be a dream to be able to buy this lifetime course. Thank you so much for the free introductory course, one of the best courses here on TH-cam.
THAT's a tutorial!
THANK YOU!!!
I was about to drop Blender after some other videos, but then you came and saved me! :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial series, i'm new in blender and this is helping me to get more confident in blender
This is so clear and easy to follow, the lesson flies by despite being 2 hours long. Great work!
This was the first blender tutorial from which I was able actually learn with
I'm a newbie to Blender. Your teaching skills are amazing to follow along. I'm going to purchasing all your classes. Thanks mate.
And how is it??
This is easily the best youtube tutorial I have seen for blender. Highly reccomend
Wow, have to say, by far your blender tutorials are the easiest to follow and understand.
thank you SO SO MUCH. i can’t express how thankful i am. i’m very new to blender and have been feeling stressed out because of the amount of stuff i need to learn as a beginner, but your videos make us learn all this step-to-step
im halfway through and im loving this video
for those struggling on the min 52:00, if the proportional editing is stretching the whole object instead of just the 4 dots part then you should try hitting G and then middle mouse scroll until you see a circle appear, that circle shows the area that the scale is... scaling. By the way if you by any chance have selected an object and you accidentally typed "H", the object is now hidden so don't panic and hold "alt+H", the object will re-appear.
thanks!
Thank you! I had this issue using Blender 4.2.1
You are a legend .You care for beginners ❤❤ and provide them a free quality course.I hope you will get 1million subs❤❤
These have been super helpful. Legit taking these with ZERO prior knowledge of Blender. Super easy to follow along, and the practice drills are very helpful.
Something to note- I first started running this tutorial with Blender 2.8 and It did not have the advanced texturing options, such as the dropdown for emissions in the principle node. I updated to the newest Blender version, and it does not have Bloom or the Ambient Occlusion options in the Render Properties, so the runes on my sword are quite dull.
Edit-- Just noticed the pinned message addresses these issues.
This is honestly the best tutorial series I have ever seen. So much effort put into this to explain every minor step.
Huge thanks for sharing such an amazing project!
❤️❤️❤️
Hey is there any chance that you got a student discount for your course? I am honestly really interested!@@CGFastTrack
I had already done the Minecraft tutorial, and I just finished the sword, the emission I made in red, which was spectacular too. Thank you for these classes. I had already lost enthusiasm for Blender, but now everything has changed!
ive benn on blender for about 3 months and gotten pretty used to it. im sure i have well over 150 hours but man this tutorial still taught me so much important info that i dont thank a lot of people mention. like duplicate vs copy i.e
Ready to chew through this tutorial today. I have wanted to learn how to make a sword in Blender since I started modding Skyrim almost a decade ago. Thank you for this
Dude ❤ this is by far the best Tutorial i ever watched in my life! Bless you ❤❤❤
hello. Please make more video. Trust me, i got into the world of 3d and i want to learn more. i already finiahed the first part of tutorial with the minecraft. Don't ever stop doing this. Those tutorials are 100x better than the donut tutorial
I finished part one yesterday and this is so fun, love your videos, it's honestly amazing
This is the first tutorial that actually works for me
You are by far the best instructor Ive seen thanks so much, I started yesterday and a feel so much better since i came across your video, thanks - Wallie Ai
best tutorial ever extremally easy to follow i appreciate the hard work
This is the best tutorial video for a beginner hands down. Thank you for going over slowly and so thoroughly!
broo love this series too much.
I found the section going over the Edit mode tools very interesting because I had never heard of an Inset Tool, but I had been doing the exact same thing for ages by extruding and then scaling the selection, so I'm already super used to just pressing E then S to inset.
This is the kind of thing that happens when you teach yourself lmao.
best tutorial i've ever watch, even the video longer, its really explain everything very detail. thanyou so much for making these videoooo
Instantly subscribed, easly one of the best blender introductions I've ever watched, your work is very much appreciated❤

at 1:23:21 i had a little issue where i had like a little dig or edge forming by the top and bottom circle of my pummel, i fixed this by moving the subdivision order so its above the Mirror modifier. Hope anyone that had the same issue sees this.
thanks a lot brother , i now have a circle in the middle , might be because of the spider-web looking faces in the middlel of the circle
Thanks a lot! I did this part twice and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Your comment helped me fix it!
thank you so much!
I actually had fun doing this tutorial, it is great for new blender user like me . Definitely a go to for blender beginners !
This is a genuinely amazing tutorial. And trust me, I've been through a LOT of tutorials! 😅
These tutorials remind me so much of Paul Neale's tutorials for early 3ds max character modeling and rigging pipeline. i absolutely love your tutorials. I signed up for the fast track tutorials after completing the minecraft and sword pt1 tutorial. Just amazing stuff dude.
i like how he shows the sexy looking sword that we are making at last in the end of the chapter which help me to get motivated and didnt get bore 🗿🗿🖤🖤
I like how you repeat the important things over and over. Like telling us ctrl+r to do the loop cut.
You nailed it dude, you really took the time to go step by step, BRAVO
SESAC striking down part one but I am so glad that part 2 and 3 are up still! Love the tutorial; thank you so much for making such a resource free for us to get our feet wet!
