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.

Ha that dragon logo (design by reevan) is a classic.
is that somekind of wannabe-osx-but-cant-afford-it ubuntu theme? xD
Is that some kind of wannabe-a-smartarse-but-now-I-look-like-a-nonce comment? :P
1983 called, it wants its wannabe Eddie Murphy routine back.
The theme is mac4lin "aqua" for gnome. I'm running linux Mint. I like the theme because of the unobtrusive and quite attractive buttons :)
Thanks for the extremely useful tutorial, Olson. Please ignore the haters and keep doing more.
Looks pretty good to me. The logo is just so people can see this in practice, don't get hung up on it.
I always shied away from curves because I didn't understand how they worked. I appreciate vids like this that help me over that hump and to explore new territory. Thanks for the tut.
Ah... i remember this classic model from the old Blender book.
omg old!
Very informative tutorial, and a very clear and relaxed presentation. Loved the one on double-sided materials, too.
