    I cannot express my gratitude enough! I stubbornly refused to use Blender 3 because the installer I got was for 2.8 which someone told me was better. I got really comfortable with modeling but spend, no joke, 4 days trying to get textures working! I tried 3 but found it even less intuitive, but your video made it easier than ever, thank you!

    Your demo is really really good. A lot of blender demonstrations are super hard to follow, so kudos to you. I think for newbies we get some weird setting accidentally set and then it doesn't behave the same. In this video I had just one stumble where the grid for the unwrapping didn't show. Clicking the "UV Sync Selection" button to keep the edit view in sync with the UV panel -- then the grid showed.

    thank you for a really simple blender tutorial. I could actually follow this. Do you have a complete series. I use b for artist UI btw. This video does help a bit. Even if you do have to press 1 to many button instead of just say selecting a tool. tool options, the you simply us your mouse to drag and scroll. or using a tablet pen to move the image the way you want. Fact: blenders UI, is 10 years out of date. for inclusivity, intuitivness, and simplicity. (and the core coder team does refuse to update it so those in the creation field with autism and low income can use it and have a frustration free experience) it also has 20 million complaints about it. yet they state the only have 14 million down loads haha.
