In this new video, we do a beginner-friendly deep dive into the "double subdivision" method which is a very easy, fast and fun way of making 3D models. This is a longer version of a video I made about a year ago. Watch it here: youtu.be/YCd_tS_3BTU #blender #b3d #blender3d

Oh, I'm sorry - I shortened the blog URL to www.3dsecrets.com/blog so you can still find it all there. I didn't think about the fact that it would break all the old links.

Oh, thanks Noiselund! Did you do the 3D animation in your latest RLM remix video yourself, in addition to the amazing track?

We all run into it at some point: We are zooming in on a small area of our model, but Blender doesn't want to go any further. Well, fortunately there's 5 easy solutions for this, as shown in this video.

I've thought about it! Certainly the model could be printed and assembled. Sadly I don't know enough about electronics to make it actually work (though I'm certain that's doable).

Almost done with the "Pocket Blender" device modeling. Does anyone else feel like a lot of 3D modeling is just making holes? Or is it just me. #Blender #B3D #Blender3D

That would be great, but it would be a very tiny spacemouse. I wonder if that's technically possible (even though this is a fantasy device of course)

Question: If you had only 10 or so buttons for Blender, what would they be? (Can be one button for Duplicate, for example). For me, Q (Quick Favorites) would be nr.1, then Tab (mode toggle), Shift+D, Alt+Q, Undo, F, Ctrl, Enter, ESC... what else? #blender #b3d #blender3d
