A Tour of Blender (and Bits of Blender turns 17)

Seventeen years ago, Bits of Blender launched on YouTube, back when videos were 320x240 and could not exceed 10 minutes. That was long enough for me and my 9-year-old son, Richard, to share quick Blender tips.

Blender 2.4x had a reputation for being challenging, but we thought a 9-year-old using it might inspire others to get over that initial hump in learning it.

For our anniversary, we’re dropping a special Bit... a 45-minute guided tour of Blender 4.4 as we build an animation from scratch, visiting each of the workspaces.

Watch now and share your comments on the video or memories of our old Bits! #blender #blender3d

Side note, this 45-minute episode about Blender was also edited in Blender with its Video Sequence Editor (VSE)!
