I'm trying hard to ignore headlines that contain numbers these days ('75 WAYS TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE THAT YOU NEVER CONSIDERED'), but I felt this one is worth sharing: Creative Bloq has listed 30 top-tier Blender tutorials. I'm trying to get into the habit of doing one tutorial per day for one month, so I'll dive right in :)

#2 on that list is cgcookies intro to character modelling. That video is only ONE minute long and is a quick overview of what the whole 30-video training course has to offer, all of which is not free at all! I'm surprised someone would put this list together and not even notice this...
Click on the title "02. Introduction to character modelling" - it's correctly linked to the entire series. Same is true for the 1st tutorial.
I'm not saying the link is incorrect, I'm saying that the character modelling tutorial on cgcookie is not free and shouldn't be in that list. When you click into any of the videos related to this tutorial you get 'become a citizen to access this content'.
He'll get it, eventually:)
Ah ok. Well, it might be more effective to leave that comment at the post over at Creative Bloq then here!
Why does it have to cost nothing ? Anyone owes us anything ?
I gotta agree with TimH, no. 2 is simply an introduction (which is basically a lure) for a full course for their citizens. It doesn't belong on this list! I don't mean to knock the folks over at CG cookies, everyones gotta make a living, but to include this tut on a list of FREE tutorials is out of place. Its not even a tutorial, its an overview of the 30 lessons for citizens.
Yeah... kinda of a major oversight on there part. They needed to check if it was actually free before putting it on there. I'm sure someone on here could put together a good list of (actually free) free tutorials for Blender.
Great resource, thanks!
Ahum ... it's a bit difficult to say ... but the series "Character Animation Fundamentals" by Beorn Leonard isn't free also. Only the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd of 22 lessons are free, the others are for paying Citizens. :-s
seems like the author of this post didn't make much effort to search the web. with the exception of Andrew prices back catalogue and the cgcookie basics, its just stuff they have posted on their own pages previously. an ok list for total newbies i guess, but hardly the top 30
I miss at least one tutorial from the Youtube channel "tutor4u", where I found nice tips, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCghBIUZyuM , where we learn how to make a stuffed bear.
I miss too a tutorial from VScorpianC, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXGtxmAi6MY , about meta rig.
This list should include one tutorial from Oliver Villar (Youtube Channel). For example, this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU_pi1UxISs
And, finally, a tutorial from Blender Diplom https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDr2wre7DtbJg8IxJNJkhmw
There is a series of nice video tutorials in Slovak language on Blender Slovakia Youtube channel. A lot can be learned just by viewing them. Feel free to find some time for look at them. Cheers, Jozef from Blender Slovakia. PS: Making of LEGOnda ... https://www.youtube.com/user/BlenderSlovakia ... Playlists / LEGOnda

sadly the video quality is poor but you can get the gist of it by listening
if you look belowe the vidoe you will see that this guy has put up a whole lot of videos that
you dont have to pay a penny for and of course there is always the manual on blenders own site.
hope someone finds these useful!?!
