Thanks, exciting features, Great video.
I love Beck’s videos — they show a thorough understanding of Blender, and quickly demonstrate new features.
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.
