Loved the video, several tips I knew and several more I didn’t – keep them coming, you have a very funny rapport with the camera 😀

How on earth do you manage with all that coffee? Dude, I feel l’ve dropped a few drops of Billy Whizz!
Great tips, that last one blew me away… but I need to learn how to do the low poly models. My fave has to be the line tip early on. That’s been a bane for me.

hey! you’ve cut your hairs! 🙂 Thanks, pretty pleasant material, I’ve found one or two tips new to me. According to removing doubles after overlapping them during edits you don’t have to perform this additional step when you enable “merge mesh editing” – this small button next to small camera icon in status line of the viewport 🙂

hoo what is the theme your are using? It looks almost as good as mine:p
ps: I love light themes and there are so few decent ones!

Great tips as always! On the brush select you can also deselect using MMB.
Thanks for the video, I always learn something new!

Hey man, how do I deselect a vertex/edge path? I´m pretty sure that I did it using a CTRL + SFHIT combo, but it is not working.

yipeeh… found the shrimpy explanation for the domain name you asked for 😉
https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/4waosx/i_am_gleb_alexandrov_the_founder_of_creative/
“It was the most stupid domain name available. Tried other obscene names, but settled with this one.
Also, a mantis shrimp has the most advanced visual system among all animals on Earth.”
Thanks and keep on shrimping (blendering and coffee drinking)
