How to Blender - Part 2 - An Introduction to 3D Modeling
This is the second video of a mini tutorial series on how to use Blender as a part of your creation process. In this video I focus on the basics of 3D modeling by going through some of the editing tools within Blender.
You can view the rest of these tutorial videos on this playlist: • How to Blender Video Series
