So took on a challenge to create a holiday card for our science center. I took about two months of going from zero blender knowledge, zero mechabricks knowledge, watching hundreds of youtube videos, to kinda feeling like I understand some things, but there is so, so much more I don't know. https://youtu.be/A8wDsBCG7C8 I think it came out pretty well given where I started from.

I'm so excited! Working on a low poly / Basic modeling course that teaches the basics of blender in really fun and practical ways! I'm having so much fun! I'll let you know updates as I have them!

Hi all. I was watching a tutorial the other day and the guy said, select the default cube and press G to move objects around. When he pressed G he was able to freely move the cube by moving his mouse. When I select the cube and press G the move gizmo appears on the cube and I have to select one of the arrows, or the center yellow dot to move it. Is there a way to set my interface to behave like his. Many thanks. Martin.

Gonna make a tutorial on lighting soon… hit me with your big questions so I can make sure to cover everything! Comment below!

Also, he said that clicking R to rotate, then Z, will constrain the rotate to the Z axis. When I do that and click Z I just get a flyout menu of the viewport shading options: Wireframe, Solid, material preview and rendered?????
