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.

    The usual essential viewing from Thomas! Quick, quiet and efficient, like having your own personal tutor. I usually install the new version of Blender and then go through Thomas' latest Sneak Peak to check all the new features.

    Please tag this as Blender Development, there are gaps when some of them are "development" and others are "3D News" only and it makes browsing by category more error-prone.
