I'm working on a short E-book that should contain everything I know about making holes in Blender. Like a real braindump about a single topic. Do you have any holes-related questions? I probably have everything covered, but just in case. I'm curious! #Blender #B3D #Blender3D

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
