A few years ago, I started learning Blender so I could create video games. More times than I can remember, I’d get stuck and not know where to look. So, I’d go to Google, and Google would help — after hours of searching.

It was frustrating. To save you that misery, I’ve gathered dozens of helpful comments from YouTubers working through Andrew Price’s — aka Blender Guru — older Blender 2.8 tutorial.

A new version using Blender 3.0 is available, and I’ll make more tip articles later.
