A quick look over some questions that people new to Blender might have. For example what's with the cube? Left clicking moves a crosshair? And also a quick look at customizing.

Hi friends! Great lessons! Thanks for the effort. Could you add subtitles? It would be very helpful for many people. Thank you!

noticed myself reacting to the change of theme/gradient colour.. is there any 'standard' where "happy colours" themes/themeparts are used, fx while designing "happy" or "light mooded" chars/objects. And a "gloomy colours" theme for more gloomy / dark stuff?

A thought I'm feeling is worth looking at anyway, thus shared :)

ps. thx for all these vids btw, watched section2-5 inclusive yesterday, great refresher for me and an awesome startout point for just about anyone - meshtools overview especially I liked ..

@falkon_x: Thanks for the comment! I don't get notified when there's a comment so I've jumped on now (quite a while later!) to have a look through and respond to anything I can. :) Aidy.

@poljak7777: Apologies about that, hopefully at the least it's possible to follow the visual cues. I don't get notified when there's a comment so I've jumped on now (quite a while later!) to have a look through and respond to anything I can. :) Aidy.

I think one thing I'd like in general about video series would be an ability to auto play the next chapter. Just a thought. Great series regardless.
