Stuff Blender Users Say

A tongue-in-cheek video by BlenderGuru. I did some of those! Did you? :)

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

    • you missed "can you make a tutorial" on every single article posted on blender nations, or image posted on blender artists

  1. Hehehe Yeah, I do say a lot of these things...

    ...scary how that last scene actually reminds me of something I also do with Blender...(not watching Sintel in bed though)...Mwahaha..

  2. ...

    "But it was RIGHT HERE in 2.49!"

    ...

    "Now was that control-j or alt-j?" "Now was that shift-d or control-d?" "Now was that control-e or shift-e?" ... etc.

    ...

    "G for grab? Who came up with that? Why not M for move, or T for Translate? Geez!"

    ...

    "Wait... why is it all black?... Oh right!  ...I Lights!" "Now, was that control-a or shift-a..."

    ...

    • "G for grab? Who came up with that? Why not M for move, or T for Translate? Geez!"

      The very same people who came up with the name 'Blender' in the first place, uncommon people. :D

      • I always figured they wanted to make the most-used hotkeys as convenient as possible, so they had to fudge a little to make them all left-handed, quick-to-click letters. 

    • You can change it but I agree that a sensible set of defaults would make the learning process more intuitive. L for layer move would also be nice

  3. I HATE this lame, overly politically correct nonsense of changing "shit" into "stuff". The meme is "Shit *insert name of group* Say". If you can't stomach that, then don't do it at all.

    Right, with that rant out of the way: great video! Especially the end was funny. :-)

    • Swearing appeals to a small demographic of people whilst limiting the number of places it can be shown. Eg. It probably wouldn't be allowed here as all the posts also appear on blender.org. It's unlikely that you'll offend someone but not swearing, but very high that you will when you do.

      • Russell Wulfenstein on

        Thank you for being professional, Andrew. It elevates the community and keeps it accessible to the broadest possible demographic (only very rarely are people offended by the lack of profanity).

  4. Glad I wasn't drinking a coffee while I was watching that ... hilariously insightful.  Also where did AP get that chair??? it looks damn comfortable for a render nap.

  5. lol it's funny because just yesterday I was watching stuff VFX artist say.

    mine would be "You have to use the right mouse button to select? Who does that?"

  6. Ha ha! My brother is always asking me "Could Blender do that?" when we're watching stuff with CGI scenes. Almost always my answer is a proud "Yep."

  7. What does this modifier do? The tool-tip will probably tell me :)   ...
     "Add a modifier to the active object"
    ...and this one?
     "Add a modifier to the active object"
    ...what about this one?
     "Add a modifier to the active object"
    AAAAHHH!

  8. The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sourceshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QEkuHBpvJw0

  9. "Hmm, no shortcut? Oh... I see, just 'ctrl-shift-alt C Page Down F3 # Double Right Click stamp your feet up up down down left right left right B A + one blood-inscribed arcane summoning ritual from the necronomicon' (and it only crashes blender 70% of the time!)

  10. Br.Kurt Van Kuren on

    Very good idea...a custom Necronomicron interface for Blender would do well; but first get it to work on a standard game pad.  I had 2.45 running on a Saitek P880 until my Windows update destroyed it, and it was the coolest thing ever.

  11. honestly the thing i find myself saying is 'huh... ?' accompanied with a head tilt and eyebrow raise, always torn halfway between being amazed but wary and wanting to know how exactly one of those 5 settings i tweaked gave me the magic. also.... 'fix it in post' - the holy mantra of CG.

  12. "BlenderGuru hasn't done any new tutorials for 3 weeks," I have said that every time i visited the site. Andrew Price is awesome!

  13. "Right, I have the cube, lets add a ground plain - cool.  Now before I start modelling, texturing animation or anything else let me do a quick 360 camera fly round in full 1080p on the highest quality settings just ensure one lamp can infact light the entire scene..."
