Blender community is the best community on youtube PERIOD. Awesome work and thanks!

I appreciate the little white timer bar at the bottom of the screen for each tip! It's the little details that really make your videos stand out!

Appreciate the mention Zach :) Been watching your content for years now so I'm honored!

Learning that alt-s fatten/slim edit mode shortcut has restored my faith in humanity, cured my type 7 diabetes, and increased the yield of my crops.

This is crazy you did this for free. I need to thank you a thousand times. You don't know how much I appreciate your work and information you provide in this 2 hour long video. I saved it and wrote pages of notes.

2 hours of my life are now planned, and the best: if I don't have enough time, or if I forget something (like every time :-)), everything is listed incredibly precisely in the description. great work zacherias, thanks

Man, this is HUGE! Thanks for the massive effort! Respect!

Me: Wondering why my Blender always crushes, while other youtubers can manage without problems CG Boost: 128 GB RAM

Woah! Awesome video (:

Best modelling tutorial on YouTube. Thank you , Sir.

People do not realize a course like this can cost thousands of dollars. He is giving this all for free. He deserves your like and subscription

Absolutely looking forward to the uv course and other upcoming courses. Just subscribed for the launchpad course and I've really learned a lot so far. Thanks, Zach!

One of the most useful Blender tutorials I've seen.

41:15 Note that in later version of Blender Knife Project tool works differently: To use Knife Project, first in Object Mode select the objects to be cut, then switch to Edit Mode and select the cutting objects in the Outliner (Ctrl-LMB), and finally choose Mesh ‣ Knife Project.

This is the most important 2h of knowledge in this platform. Thanks a lot

I gotta watch this more often. every now and then one of these shortcuts slips my mind still

11:18 I started to learn blender like a year ago, but i quit because had been researching how to fix the getting stuck zooming in issue, and could not find any way to fix it. This tip literally saved my life!!

Even though I might know most of these feature I still enjoy watching blender tips for the few that I don't. I'll watch all 2 hours just to not miss any information. These types of videos also always freshen up my memory of features or short cuts that I might have forgotten along the way and are almost always very interesting. Another great one @CG Boost

Thanks CG Boost for creating such an amazing and informative video. You have managed to cram everything that i learnt and more, for the last 2 years into a 2 hours long video. Hats off. No other video, that i have come across, anywhere, has given out more useful information than this one in such a short time.
