Hey there everyone!! So I have always loved doing Advent Calendars of some kind of code to practice and learn, so I started looking for Advent Calendars for different skills and Blender was on of them. I really have been trying to practice Blender and I did not find any December advent events. So I decided to make a website for it. Its free and hope you guys like it and try it out!! It has a leaderboard, daily challenges, gallery, make comments, etc. If you would like to try it out, here is my website: https://www.adventofblender.com/ Let me know if you have any issues or if there are any bugs. There is a contact form to send a message if you have any issues too. Thanks all!

Here's a lil sword I'm workin' on! Any specific requests for simple objects to model in the course?

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!

I just learned about the “tri light” extension that, once installed, will automatically add three lights to your scene: a key light, a fill light, and a back light pointing at the object that you have first selected before implementing the tri light menu item. It will also lock the lights so they always aim at the object, even when you move the light or the object. In Blender version 4.5, go to Preferences> Extensions ( not add-ons, and search for “TRI”. Then choose to install. (it's free). Then select an object in your scene, select Add Light from the Add menu, and you will now see a new choice to add Tri Light. The three lights will be automatically added. I hope this helps you!

I thought it'd be nice to have a handy guide for anyone new to Blender to remember common kb shortcuts etc. Here it is! Enjoy!
