Watch on YouTube This video serves as kind of a recap for the “Absolute Blender Beginner” videos, so that the next one can be for absolute beginners or those a little more experienced. I wanted two points of entry. A video that holds your hand, and a video that gets you up and running a little easier. Like a choose …
Watch on YouTube LEGO is using DCMA to take down listings on Thingiverse based on their products. But, they made LEGO, so shouldn’t they have the right to do that? I mean, technically they don’t have copyright, because you can’t copyright a simple shape, and as of 2010 they no longer have patent. I guess they still have Trademark, and …
Watch on YouTube I can’t tell you how good it feels to finally have Blender setup. I feel like the Absolute Beginner’s Guide to 3D Modeling in Blender 2.8 has had me working with one hand behind my back. Now that Blender all setup, especially my choice of plugins, I am ready to work at full power. Huge thanks to …
Watch on YouTube Jim from the Edge of Tech invited me for a live stream last Monday to chat with him and Jackie and Jesse from ProjectFDL. They’re doing amazing things using 3D printing for manufacturing for toys and finishing with hydro dipping. I came away from it inspired and maybe you will too.
Watch on YouTube I admit I’m still working with my green screen. I wanted to change the angle, and I made it wider, but now lighting is a problem. Or I may try the proper green screen that I used on Monday’s stream. Oh yeah, if you missed that, you should check it out. Review You’re doing great and should …

And now that the weather has gone from “sweltering” to just …
Watch on YouTube Introduction By now you should be comfortable with moving objects in the 3D space and should have learned how to move objects without concern for the view by constraining the movement while moving. You can do this with keyboard shortcuts or with the gimbals provided by Blender 2.8. Just remember that following along and doing while you …
Watch on YouTube The Ender 5, as I said, is a good printer and could actually be recommended by me. However, I can’t ever recommend every printer in every case. I feel like I need to qualify my recommendations for specific cases. The Ender 5 is great if you don’t have a big budget, but wants a little bigger build …
Watch on YouTube Yup, this is still kind of just an outline right now. Finding time to flesh it out has been, difficult. But consider this a preview for another book. Intro Learning to navigate the view is perhaps the most important skill for making three dimensional models with 2 dimensional tools. So I hope you’ve taken the opportunity to …
Watch on YouTube As I continue to work on the world of Chibimals, a story has developed. The basic outline so far is: Piggy finds a MacGuffin, maybe a 3D model in parts so I can release one part at a time as the story progresses, that leads him to a new area, where he gathers a friend and goes …
